4 Steps to Panoramic X-ray Repairs

If you run a dental practice, you know that a Panoramic X-Ray can be a significant source of both knowledge and income. Keeping your equipment functioning properly can make or break a practice. Especially considering that broken equipment can lead to longer wait times or even canceled appointments as patients become disgruntled.

At Technical Electronic Contractors, we pride ourselves on our expert customer service and repairs. Instead of letting broken panoramic X-rays keep your practice from running efficiently, check out these steps to make repairs simple!

Identify the Problem

First, the best thing to do is to identify the problem if possible. If you can figure out what is wrong with your equipment, you will be able to better understand what is needed and if the warranty applies to the issue at hand. This also makes searching for the right repair technician simpler, as you are able to best communicate to them what you need for them to fix it.

When checking for what is wrong, keep in mind that it could be a hardware or software issue – ruling one out can be a quick way to help determine which is the problem at hand so you can get back to running your practice as soon as possible. Plus, this can be helpful to share with a repair technician as well! Some may only work with one or the other, so it’s best to know prior to calling.

Check for Warranty

Once you have figured out what is wrong, check to see if you have a warranty. If you do, check your warranty to see what is covered or required! There may be information in your warranty requiring you to work only with the supplier or specific repair companies to avoid making the warranty null and void. This is something to keep in mind while pursuing means of repairing your panoramic X-ray.

If the warranty has expired or there wasn’t one in the first place, then you can proceed on without worrying about following any extra steps!

Getting Your Dental X-Ray Machine to Communicate with Modern Computers

  Many older dental panoramic X-ray systems—such as the Orthopantomograph 100, Orthopantomograph 200 and Cranex D—use a different method of computer communication than modern devices. When these systems stop working with newer computers or operating systems, the issue is often related to their fiber optic PCI or PCIe interface cards. Understanding how these systems communicate can help explain why problems occur and how to solve them. We share some important things to know to successfully get your dental X-ray machine to communicate with a modern computer . PCI Cards and Fiber Optic Cables Older dental X-ray machines do not use USB or Ethernet connections. Instead, they rely on fiber optic cables connected to a proprietary PCI or PCIe card installed inside the computer. PCI and PCIe cards are not generic. They contain custom firmware and use ST fiber optic connectors. PCI cards can be full size or half size. The PCIe comes as a PCIe-1, which is the smallest of slots available...
