14. Image plate Image plates are toxic: For this reason they must always be placed in a light pro-tection cover before putting this in the mouth of the patient. In the case of a patient swallowing an image plate or a part of one then a doctor must be consulted immedia-tely and the image plate removed. If a patient damages a light protection cover when biting on it, then the mouth must be rinsed out thoroughly with copious amounts of water.

Damage to the VistaScan:Before handling the image plate hands should be entirely free of any powder residue from the protective gloves. This powder can damage the optical scanning unit of VistaScan Plus du-ring the scanning procedure of the image plate.
Contamination of the VistaScan:Before scanning the image plate data, it must be clean and hygieni-cally in good condition. Otherwise there could be a loss of image data or even to the transfer of bacteria.
