Computer System Requirements
This section specifies the minimum computer system requirements for KODAK RVG 6500 intraoral
imaging system software. If necessary you must update your computer system configuration.
The computer and its screen should ideally be situated in or close to the operating area, in the visual
field of the practitioner when he is with the patient. The visual access of the acquired image for the
patient encourages communication.
The KODAK RVG 6500 systems must run on a computer with a keyboard.
The KODAK RVG 6500 systems must run on a computer with a mouse equipped with a right and left
button and a mouse wheel.

must cover the RVG sensor before placing it in the patient’s mouth. These sleeves are conform to the
ISO EN 10993.
To prevent cross-contamination, use a new hygienic barrier for each new patient and disinfect the RVG
sensor.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the RVG Sensor
You must first clean the RVG sensor before disinfecting it. To do so, follow these steps:
1Remove the protective hygienic sleeves.
2Remove debris or organic matter from the sensor surfaces with a disposable wipe or surface
brush.
3Inspect the sensor for debris. Repeat cleaning if there is any debris left.
1Clean and disinfect with disinfecting wipes.
If you choose disinfecting solutions, use disinfectant suitable for medical devices and composed
of Ethanol and/or Isopropanol, and/or Quaternary ammonium (follow the chemical manufacturer’s
instruction).
WARNING: Never place the sensor and/or control box in an autoclave
as this could result in serious damage to the sensor.
WARNING: You must first clean the RVG sensor before disinfecting it.
