KaVo Device Setup Guide

This guide describes the installation and setup of KaVo devices for use with Dentrix Ascend Imaging.

Overview

Dentrix Ascend Imaging supports the acquisition of 3D volumes and 2D extraoral images from various KaVo 3D CBCT devices and 2D panoramic devices on a computer running the Windows operating system.

Notes:

• Prior to the installation of the KaVo device, the acquisition agent application must be installed on each computer that will acquire images. Refer to Setting up the acquisition agent for instructions on downloading and installing the acquisition agent.

• Before you can use a KaVo device in Dentrix Ascend Imaging, it must be set up properly. For setup instructions, refer to other setup guides or device manuals, or contact the manufacturer.

Installation

Notes:

• If your KaVo device has already been set up with the DTX Studio Driver dashboard, you can skip to the "Testing" section of this guide.

• The following setup instructions are for a DIGORA Optime. If you need help adding you particular device to the DTX Studio Driver dashboard, contact the manufacturer.

To install a DIGORA Optime, do the following:

1. In the Imaging Procedures list, select Panoramic image, Cephalometric image, or 3D Volume. Select Kavo Devices as the acquisition device. Then, click Proceed with Acquisition.

   

   Note: Make sure you select the correct image modality when you are acquiring; otherwise, issues may occur.

Troubleshooting

Make sure the device has been set up correctly (the drivers are installed, it is connected to the network if applicable, and so forth). If the device is not working or does not appear in the DTX Studio Driver dashboard, contact the manufacturer for help with getting the device added to the DTX Studio Driver dashboard.

Some image acquisitions will acquire more than one image. In those cases, select only the image that you want to keep, and then click Return all.
