Midmark Vantage Digital Panoramic X-ray System is a technologically advanced imaging system designed to provide high-quality panoramic and cephalometric images. It features a user-friendly interface, automatic exposure control, and a wide range of imaging modes, making it suitable for various clinical applications:

  • Panoramic Imaging: Captures a wide, single-shot view of the entire dentition, including the maxilla, mandible, and temporomandibular joints.

  • Cephalometric Imaging: Provides lateral and posteroanterior views of the skull, ideal for orthodontic analysis and treatment planning.

  • TMJ Imaging: Enables detailed visualization of the temporomandibular joints, aiding in diagnosing and monitoring joint disorders.

System Function Checklist
CAUTION
Do not use the device if it cannot perform the functions in this checklist.
Task Area Description
P
Floor and Wall
Ensure that the wall support is adequate and that the system is securely attached to the wall
and oor. For freestanding units, the structure must be rmly attached to the oor.
Mechanical Safety
Inspect the structure for mechanical integrity of the telescoping column. Inspect the main
drive lead screw, bearings, overhead attachment and pivot points, C-arm attachment and
pivot points, and the patient table attachment.
Electrical Safety Verify the integrity of the power line, its connections, and the connection to earth ground.
Consumable Items
Verify that these are present and in working order:
For panoramic systems: chin rest, bite piece, TMJ positioner, sheaths, wands
For cephalometric systems: naison post, ear post, ear speculum
If replacements are needed, see the Consumable Items for Panoramic and Cephalometric
Systems section of the Vantage user guide.
Diagnostic Source
Assembly
Under the tubehead cover, evaluate the condition of these items: the collimator attachment,
the collimator blade mechanism, the electrical connections, and the mechanical attachment
of the tubehead and collimator to the structure. Check for oil leaks.
Power Switch
Verify that the switch is working and that the operator panel illuminates when the power
switch is in the on position.
Operator Panel / Touch
Control Panel
A few seconds after power up, the splash screen should appear. The screen should display
the status when the Vantage Client software is started. The panel must switch to the main
screen when the VantageTouch software and all related devices are operational. The panel
functions must respond to interrogation.
Movement Control
Switches
Verify wand positioning and column vertical drive.
Laser Operation and
alignment
The mid-sagittal, Frankfort plane, and cuspid lasers operate on demand by way of the activa-
tion switches on the patient table. Verify alignment through the use of the laser test xtures.
Exposure Switch
Verify that the exposure switch is functioning properly. Make an exposure, follow the proce-
dures outlined in the user guide.

Exposure Indicators
Make several more exposures. Verify that the visual radiation indicator illuminates and that
the audible radiation indicator generates a tone.
Premature Exposure
Termination.
During an exposure, release the exposure switch before the normal end of the panoramic
sweep. All movement must cease, the X-ray output must stop, and the visual and audible
indicators must end.
Error Messages
During normal operation, the appearance of any error message must be investigated and
corrected. Error messages may occur due to operator error or machine malfunction. Contact
Midmark Technical Support with any questions.
X-ray Generator
Inspections
Perform complete panoramic trial exposures. Absence of error messages demonstrates
proper generator operation.
Beam alignment
Verication
Verify alignment between the X-ray source and the image receptor.
Sensor Operation
Perform a trial examination on the test phantom. Evaluate the outcome of this trial exam.
Sucient contrast, sharpness, and penetration must be evident in the image.
Focal Trough
Verication
Perform a trial examination on the test phantom. Evaluate the outcome of this trial exam. The
focal trough must be located in the predicted position.
Imaging Software Verify that the imaging software is running and available.
