Sensor Positioner Assembly :
To assemble the XDR Paralleling Guide System (ShaRing & Litening Rod) with the Biteblocks follow these instructions:
For Bitewings:
- Choose the red biteblock marked HBW for horizontal bitewings, or VBW for vertical bitewings for the appropriate size sensor.
- Insert the pegs of Litening Rod marked BITEWING into the desired biteblock.
- Gently insert the sensor into the biteblock arms, assuring the holder is positioned in the direct middle of the sensor field, and white face of the sensor is towards the bite plane of the holder.
- Insert the end of the Litening Rod into the perpendicular channel of the ShaRing marked BW-ANT. Use the attached cable guide clip on the ShaRing for further stability.
For Anterior Periapicals:
- Choose the blue biteblock for the appropriate size sensor.
- Insert the pegs of Litening Rod marked ANTERIOR into the biteblock.
- Gently insert the sensor into the biteblock arms, assuring the sensor is seated entirely into the bottom arm, and the white face of the sensor is towards the bite plane of the holder.
- Insert the end of the Litening Rod into the perpendicular channel of the ShaRing marked BW-ANT. Use the attached cable guide clip on the ShaRing for further stability.
For Posterior Periapicals:
- Choose the yellow biteblock for the appropriate size sensor.
- Insert the pegs of Litening Rod marked POSTERIOR into the biteblock.
- Gently insert the sensor into the biteblock arms, assuring the holder is positioned in the direct middle of the sensor field, and the white face of the sensor is towards the bite plane of the holder.
- Insert the end of the Litening Rod into the oblique channel of the ShaRing marked P. Use the attached cable guide clip on the ShaRing for further stability.
NOTE: Always visually ensure the sensor is angled in the direct center of the ShaRing before positioning in the patient’s mouth.
