hazardous.
Important:
Disinfect the image sensor before its first use and whenever there is a risk
of contamination.
Please follow the disinfecting and cleaning instructions in order to avoid damaging the sensors.
Disinfection of the X-ray image sensor at the end of each day is recommended even when
