To re-sheath the Carestream CS 7600 imaging plate, follow this hygienic protocol:
1. Disinfect the Imaging Plate and Hygienic Sheath: Ensure the imaging plate is disinfected according to the instructions provided (refer to "Disinfecting the Hygienic Sheath and the Imaging Plates" on page 69). Do not soak or autoclave the hygienic sheath.
2. Insert the Imaging Plate into the Hygienic Sheath: Place the disinfected imaging plate into its protective hygienic sheath with the inactive side facing the adhesive strip. Ensure the size number of the plate is visible through the transparent side of the sheath, and the orientation dot is in the bottom corner.
3. Seal the Hygienic Sheath: Peel the adhesive strip and seal the sheath to ensure proper hygiene and protection of the imaging plate.

Scanning the Imaging Plates Remove the imaging plate from the patient’s mouth. Do not remove the imaging plate from its hygienic sheath. Wipe and disinfect the exposed imaging plate’s hygienic sheath ( See “Disinfecting the Hygienic Sheath and the Imaging Plates” on page 63).
Page 63
Important: If the user inserts the plate incorrectly, there is a possibility of the plate falling into the scanner. If the plate falls into the scanner, See “Retrieving a Fallen Imaging Plate” on page 58 Dispose of the used protective hygienic sheath (D). If the scanner is linked Peer to Peer with a workstation the image is sent automatically to the workstation which it is linked with.
Retrieving a Fallen Imaging Plate Important: Do not insert any tools into the scanner. If any tool is inserted into the scanner all warranties are null and void. To retrieve a fallen imaging plate, follow these steps: Turn off the scanner and disconnect the scanner from the mains power source. Disconnect the scanner from the network.

Maintenance Imaging Plate Care If used with care, Carestream Health imaging plates can be used imaging plates can be used indefinitely until physically damaged. However, the imaging plates will show wear over time due to continuous use. Inspect the imaging plates regularly and replace them if they are scratched and/or show signs of excessive wear.
Cleaning Materials Clean, dry non-abrasive, lint-free wipes or cloths • Carestream Screen Cleaner P/N 1030428 (Ask your Carestream Health representative) • Cleaning Method To clean the imaging plates, follow these steps: Fold a non-abrasive, lint-free wipe or cloth and dampen with a small amount of the solution. Be careful not to pour the solution directly on the imaging plate.
Disinfecting the Hygienic Sheath and the Imaging Plates CAUTION: Do not soak the hygienic sheath in any cleaning or disinfecting solutions. Do not autoclave; autoclaved hygienic sheaths must be discarded. Frequency of Disinfection The hygienic sheath is the primary means of infection control and protection from contaminated imaging plates.
Cleaning the Detachable Insertion Panels The CS 7600 makes use of three insertion panel sizes according to the inserted plates size (0, 0–3, and 4). The maintenance procedure is identical for both insertion panels.
Page 71
The scanner displays a prompt to put in place an insertion panel, either a size 0 (left figure in prompt), size 0-3 (middle figure in prompt) or a size 4 (right figure in prompt) insertion panel. Install the cleaned and disinfected insertion panel by positioning the insertion panel at a 45 degree angle to the right side of the insertion panel’s housing (A) and pressing the insertion slot panel in from right to left (B) until it’s completely inserted (C).
