Intended Use
REXTAR X is a portable X-ray system to be used by trained dentists and dental technicians as a mobile, extraoral x-ray source for producing diagnostic x-ray images using intraoral image receptors. It is intended for both adult and pediatric subjects.
Device Story
REXTAR X is a handheld, portable, DC-powered extraoral X-ray system. It comprises an X-ray tube, tube assembly, and controller in a camera-like housing. The device generates X-rays (70kV, 2mA) to penetrate oral structures, creating images on conventional film or digital sensors (not included). Operated by dentists or dental technicians in clinical settings, field hospitals, or emergency environments. The device features a high-frequency generator, 0.4mm focal spot, and rechargeable battery. Output is an X-ray beam; healthcare providers use the resulting images for diagnosis of dental diseases. Portability eliminates the need for multiple fixed X-ray units in a practice.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Compliance with UL/IEC 60601-1, 60601-2-7, 60601-2-28, 60601-2-32, and EN/IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC) standards was demonstrated.
Technological Characteristics
High-frequency X-ray generator (70kV, 2mA); 0.4mm focal spot; 12° target angle; DC 11.1V rechargeable battery; 3.5-inch BTN LCD display; dimensions 146x155x139mm; weight 2kg. Complies with 21 CFR 1020.30/1020.31 and IEC 60601 series standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult and pediatric patients requiring dental radiographic examination of teeth, jaw, and oral structures (e.g., bite wing, periapical, occlusal, panoramic). Used by trained dentists and dental technicians.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An extraoral source x-ray system is an AC-powered device that produces x-rays and is intended for dental radiographic examination and diagnosis of diseases of the teeth, jaw, and oral structures. The x-ray source (a tube) is located outside the mouth. This generic type of device may include patient and equipment supports and component parts.
