KODAK RVG 5100 & 6100 Overview

Functional Components Overview

RVG Sensor The sensor is radio-sensitive. The sensor active surface is the flat surface marked with #0, #1 or #2 indicating the size. •

Size 1, universal, sensor - Use for regular periapical and retro-coronary procedures. Size 2 sensor - Use for bitewings and peri-apical procedures. Size 0 sensor (only RVG 6100) - Use for pediatric intraoral exams. The Size 0 sensor requires less x-ray doses and has a very small size to fit in a child’s mouth.

• •

The sensor non-reactive to X-rays surface, is rounded and contains the cable attachment. Figure 1 RVG Sensor

Sensor Remote Control The sensor remote control contains all the electronics of the sensor. The button (1) on the remote control activates, at a distance, the acquisition interface in the KODAK dental imaging software. The remote control is connected to the computer with its USB2 connector. Important: DO NOT disconnect the remote

control when you are acquiring an image. This can damage the sensor.

Chapter 2 KODAK RVG 5100 & 6100 Overview

Sharing the Sensor Between Workstations You can share the sensor between several workstations to provide access for several practitioners based on an agreed-upon arrangement. The workstation must have the KODAK dental imaging software and corresponding drivers. To share the sensor between several computers, move it from workstation to workstation. When you connect the sensor to a USB 2 port on the computer, the sensor is recognized automatically and is operational. To share images between workstations, you can connect them to a network without having to change the configuration described above. The KODAK dental imaging software needs only to access a shared database on the same workstation or on a remote workstation. You can print images either on a printer attached to each computer or to a printer shared on the network. WARNING: Do not disconnect the sensor after you click on the RVG Acquisition button. This can damage your sensor.

Using the different Positioning Systems Apply the same rules for positioning the sensor in the mouth that you use in classic radiology. You may require time to adapt due to the rigidity of the sensor. You can use different systems for positioning the sensor in the mouth. None, however, can fulfill by itself all possible needs. How you position the sensor is dictated by the morphology of the patient, the habits of the practitioner and what needs to be seen, rather than the positioner itself. Use the tools according to the restrictions dictated by the external parameters. You can switch from the paralleling technique to the bisecting technique, from holding the sensor with the finger to using the holders.

X-Ray Generator Compatibility As a general rule, the sensor is compatible with all generators provided the generator meets the current standard of intraoral radiology. You can use a high-frequency or conventional generator. The generator must operate with a voltage of 60 to 70kV.

Important: The RVG sensor is not compatible with generators of lesser specifications.

The KODAK generators meet the requirements. You can connect the KODAK generators directly to the electronics of the sensor to synchronize image acquisition with the trigger action. This link provides an ergonomic advantage that eliminates the need for the operator to click on the acquisition icon prior to each exposure (See the Installation Guide (SM697).

Imaging Software Overview

Computer System Requirements For the minimum computer system requirements for KODAK RVG 5100 & 6100 intraoral imaging system software, see KODAK RVG 5100 and RVG 6100 System Safety, Regulatory and Technical Specifications User Guide (SM740). If necessary you must update your computer system configuration.

Important: It is MANDATORY to check that the computer system configuration is compatible with the computer system requirements for the KODAK RVG 5100 & 6100 software

Important: The screen with the proper

technical display characteristics for visualization of radiological images will avoid any diagnostic error.

General Software Overview The KODAK RVG 5100 & 6100 intraoral imaging system operates with the following software: • •
