9 Maintenance
This chapter describes the maintenance task that you need to perform regularly for your KODAK RVG
6500 with or without IPS system and the accessories.
Daily
The RVG Sensor
The RVG sensor is supplied in a non-sterile state. Single-use disposable protective hygienic sleeves
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.
4Clean 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.
