DC-Air Wireless Digital X-ray Sensor Stater Kit

To accomplish the conversion to light, conventional Dental X-Ray sensors use a layer of material called a scintillator. Converted light photons are then filtered through an optical fiber plate (essentially a layer of glass). This conversion process not only causes distortion in the resulting image, but the components involved are extremely fragile and make the X-Ray sensor prone to breaking from even a short drop off the counter or out of the hand.

Direct conversion refers to the ability of a radiographic imager to convert x-ray signal to electronic input used to produce the image. Conventional digital X-Ray sensors must first convert high energy x-ray photons to lower energy photons on the visible light spectrum before the detector inside can provide electronic input.

DC-Air Wireless Dental Sensor replaces the scintillator and optical plate layers with a direct silicon (Si) semiconductor substrate which is homogenous in nature to the X-Ray sensor’s CMOS integrated circuit. This revolutionary technology is what gives DC-Air Wireless Sensors its distinctly accurate image quality and superior durability vs. other “top” Digital X-Ray sensors.

The Dental X-Ray sensor specifications highlight how replacing fragile components with a direct silicon semiconductor substrate enhances performance. You can anticipate achieving over 70 percent contrast at a spatial frequency of 5 line pairs per millimeter (lp/mm) and over 40 percent contrast at 10 lp/mm. The accurate depiction of small structures and details in the mouth aids in making precise diagnoses and treatment plans.
You can also review the dental X-Ray sensor specifications for more insight into how the DC-Air Wireless X-Ray Sensor can enhance efficiency and productivity. Our DC Air digital dental X-ray sensor captures over 150 images per charge cycle, allowing dentists to conduct more patient examinations without interruptions.

Secure Connection
The wireless channel of communication between the Digital X-Ray sensor and the docking station is FDA and FCC cleared for security and reliability. The wireless communication of image data is protected by the latest Bluetooth® encryption and minimizes the exchange of PHI over the wireless link.

Docking Station
The docking station completes the wireless workflow for your modern dental practice.

Eliminate USB Wear
USB cables are really meant for devices like printers and speakers that plug in once and stay connected. That’s why things like sensor cables and cell phone chargers break so often: the constant wear from unplugging and reconnecting, bending and moving. The DC-Air Wireless Sensor docking station acts as the home base for the sensor on the counter, eliminating any USB plugging or movement to move the wireless DC-Air™ sensor to a different room.
