 4 Maintenance

4.1 Calibration

The i500 system provide the factory calibration with very precise condition
as default and user does not need to perform the calibration process
generally.
The calibration process is needed when the quality of 3D model is not
reliable or accurate to previous results. If you meet this situation, you
should contact to the manufacturer or authorized resellers and calibrate
your device for optimal usage.

4.2 Reusable tip

The i500 reusable tip is the part of the scanner that is inserted into the
patient’s mouth during scanning. The tip can be reused for a limited
number of times, but it must be cleaned and sterilized between patients to
avoid cross-contamination.

4.2.1 Cleaning and sterilization procedure

➢ Clean the tip manually using soap water and a brush. Inspect the
mirror of the tip after cleaning. If the mirror appears stained,
smudged or has a milky haze, repeat the cleaning process using
a soft dish brush and soap water. Dry the mirror carefully with a
paper towel.

➢ Put the tip in a paper sterilization pouch.

The pouch should be sealed. Make sure it is airtight by using
either a self-adhesive pouch or a heat-sealed pouch.

➢ Sterilize the wrapped tip in an autoclave with the following

conditions:

 At 121℃ for a minimum of 30 minutes

Use an autoclave program that dries the wrapped tip before opening
the autoclave.

46
 CAUTION

➢ The mirror in the tip is a delicate optical component. It should be

handled with care as its clean and undamaged surface is critical
for scan quality. Be careful not to scratch or smudge it before
scanning a patient.

➢ Never autoclave a tip that is not wrapped as this will leave stains
on the mirror which cannot be removed. See the autoclave
manual for more information.

➢ New tips must be cleaned and sterilized / autoclaved before

using them for the first time.

➢ The scanner tip can be re-sterilized up to 10 times and must be

disposed afterwards as described in the next section on Disposal.

4.2.2 Disposal

CAUTION

➢ The scanner tip must be sterilized before disposal.

Sterilize the tip as described above.

➢ Dispose the scanner tip as you would other clinical waste.

4.3 Updates to Image Acquisition Software

The Image acquisition software automatically checks for updates when the
software is running.

When a new version of the software is available, the system will

automatically download the new version.

5.5 Electrical Safety

WARNING

➢ The i500 system is a Class 1 device.

➢ To prevent electric shock, the i500 system must only be
connected to a power source with a protective earth connection.
If you are unable to insert the i500-supplied plug into the main
outlet, contact a qualified electrician to replace the plug or
outlet. Do not try to circumvent these safety guidelines.
➢ The i500 system only uses RF energy internally. The amount of
RF radiation is low and does not interfere with surrounding
electromagnetic radiation.
➢ There is a risk of electric shock if you attempt to access the
inside of the i500 system. Only qualified service personnel should
access the system.

➢ Do not connect the i500 system to a regular power strip or

extension cord as these connections are not as safe as grounded
outlets. Failure to adhere to these safety guidelines may result in
the following hazards:
 The total short circuit current of all connected equipment may
exceed the limit specified in EN / IEC 60601-1.
 The impedance of the ground connection may exceed the limit
specified in EN / IEC 60601-1.

➢ Do not place liquids such as beverages near the i500 system and
avoid spilling liquid on the system.

➢ Condensation due to changes in temperature or humidity can

cause moisture buildup inside the i500 unit, which may damage
the system. Before connecting the i500 system to a power
supply, be sure to keep the i500 at room temperature for at least
2 hours to prevent condensation. If condensation is visible on
the product surface, the i500 should be left at room temperature
for more than 8 hours.
➢ You should only disconnect the i500 system from the power
supply via its power cord.
➢ The radiation characteristics of the i500 system makes it suitable
for use in industry and hospitals. (CISPR 11 class A). If the i500
system is used in a residential environment (CISPR 11 class B), it
may not provide adequate protection from radio frequency
communications.
➢ Before disconnecting the power cord, make sure to turn off the
power on the device using the power switch on the main unit.
➢ Only use the power adaptor supplied together with the i500.
Using other power adaptors may result in damage to the system.

51
 CAUTION
➢ Avoid pulling on the communication cables, power cables, etc.
used in the i500 system.

5.6 Eye Safety

WARNING

➢ The i500 system projects a bright light from its tip during
scanning.

The bright light projected from the tip of the i500 is not harmful to the
eyes. However, you should not look directly at the bright light nor aim the
light beam into the eyes of others. Generally, intense light sources can
cause eyes to become brittle, and the likelihood of secondary exposure is
high. As with other intense light sources exposure, you may experience
temporary reduction in visual acuity, pain, discomfort, or visual impairment,
which increases the risk of secondary accidents.

5.7 Pacemaker and ICD Interference Risk

WARNING

➢ Do not use the i500 system on patients with pacemakers and

ICD devices.

➢ It is forbidden to use the i500 system for patients using

pacemakers due to the risk of interference.

52
5.8 Hygiene

WARNING

➢ For clean working conditions and patient safety, ALWAYS wear

clean surgical gloves when:

 Handling and replacing the tip.

 Using the i500 on patients.

 Touching the i500 system.

➢ The i500 main unit and its optical window should be kept clean
at all times.
➢ Before using the i500 on a patient, be sure to:
 disinfect the i500 system
 use a sterilized tip

5.9 Safety when scanning with i500

CAUTION
➢ The i500 system is a high-precision optical measuring device.
Any shock to the system caused by dropping or bumping the
device may cause serious damage. Make sure to follow these
guidelines:

 Always mount the i500 main unit on its desktop cradle or wall
mount holder when not in use.
 Do not place any object on the i500 body.
 Do not pull or bend the cable connected to the i500.
 Do not spill any liquid on the i500 body.
 Do not place the i500 on any heated or wet surface.
 Always be sure to hold the i500 body securely when
dismounting from its holder or cradle, as well as during
scanning.
 Always place the power cord of the i500 system in an easily
accessible location.

➢ Due to its fragile nature, i500 tips should be handled with care.
To prevent damage to the tip and its internal mirror, be careful
to avoid contact with a patient’s teeth or restorations.
➢ Do not scan for more than 10 minutes at a time.

53
 5.10 Protection from overheating

WARNING

➢ Do not block the air vents located at the rear of the i500 system.
If the equipment overheats, the i500 system may malfunction or
stop working.

5.11 Technical Maintenance

CAUTION
➢ Equipment maintenance should be carried out only by a MEDIT
employee or a MEDIT-certified company or personnel.
➢ In general, the user does not need to perform maintenance work
on the i500 system except for cleaning, disinfection and
sterilization. Preventive inspections and regular maintenance are
not required.
