Cefla NewTom DCiS Intraoral Sensor

Direct conversion wireless intraoral sensor
 
While ensuring patient comfort, NewTom DCiS optimizes the workflow for operators and, thanks to the Infinity system, transfers data via Bluetooth Low Energy technology quickly and effectively, reducing energy consumption. As cables are wear parts, its wireless design extends the life of the device, as well as improving operating efficiency and patient comfort. The 2D imaging system delivers consistently high-definition images with low X-ray doses, yielding extremely accurate diagnoses.

Smart design
Comfort for the patient and user-friendliness for the operator: NewTom DCiS is a small engineering masterpiece. The details of the NewTom DCiS sensor have been designed to improve global ergonomics and to reduce any discomfort felt by the patient.
 
The rounded corners are less invasive, and the absence of a cable prevents further discomfort. A set of optional accessories specially designed for this sensor allows correct alignment and positioning, in addition to minimizing the irradiated area. NewTom DCiS communicates directly with the docking station via Bluetooth Low Energy technology, combining energy savings and maximum flexibility of use.
 
Strength
The outer casing and internal components are sturdy and withstand impacts and compression. The NewTom DCiS does not have easily breakable internal components like scintillators. It is also certified with an IP67 degree of protection against the ingress of dust and liquids.
 
Positioning
The alignment system has been specially designed for the wireless sensor and will not add to the footprint, while ensuring patient comfort as well as making positioning easier. The system also allows the X-ray source to be brought as close as possible to the patient’s face so as to avoid unnecessarily exposing other areas to radiation.
 
Ergonomics
The sensor (Size 2) has rounded edges to prevent unnecessary patient discomfort. The active area is wide so virtually the entire footprint can be used. This being direct conversion technology, the sensor is thin and allows the rechargeable battery to be contained in a small space. The LED on the back indicates the different states of the device, which is always visible to the user as it can be displayed on the user’s PC screen via iCapture.
 
Docking station
The docking station has the purpose of receiving data transmitted via Bluetooth from the sensor and forwarding them, via USB cable, to the PC or laptop of the clinic. Data transfer and processing takes just a few seconds, so the X-ray image is immediately available on the NNT software. The docking station also acts as a housing and charging base for the sensor when it is not in use.
