Carestream CS2200
Carestream · Model CS2200
Optimize Diagnoses The CS 2200 System has an adjustable tube voltage (60 or 70 kV), so you can customize contrast or gray shading levels based on exam requirements - providing the control you need to support your diagnoses. Versatile Design Compatible with both film and digital imaging applications, the CS 2200 System works the way you do. Available in five available mounting options, two types of timers, and three arm lengths, the system can be easily adapted to match the configurations of your practice. Maximum Image Quality Our very high-frequency generator ensures superior image quality. Equipped with a focal spot of 0.7 mm, the CS 2200 System produces sharp, focused images each and every time. And the unit’s short exposure times make it an ideal product to use with our full range of dental digital radiography systems. Reduced Radiation Dose The CS 2200 System generates as much as 30% less radiation than traditional x-ray generators - thereby ensuring the safety of your patients and staff. In addition, the system’s electronic timer determines the optimal dose for patients based on exam settings, so you can work confidently with no worries of overexposure. And, after each exposure, the dose level is displayed for quick and simple dose monitoring. Usability at Its Best Compact and easy-to-use, the CS 2200 System’s handheld timer allows users to quickly select the right exposure settings. Pre-programmed to automatically calculate settings, the timer intuitively determines the appropriate exposure time based on anatomical region, patient bodyweight and detector type. Plus, the timer’s clear and easy-to-understand icons allow you to make your selections in less time than ever and help reduce the risk of mistakes.
Key tips
- ·Biological-indicator verification applies to dental sterilizers exactly the same as hospital CSSD - no exception for smaller units.
- ·"Sounds different" is often the first real report of handpiece bearing wear, not an outright failure - investigate early rather than waiting.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Gantry rotation drive fault
HighSymptoms: Incomplete or jerky rotation arc; scan aborts.
Root cause: Worn rotation motor or drive belt/gear.
Sensor / detector calibration drift
MediumSymptoms: Banding or uneven density across the scan arc.
Root cause: CCD/CMOS sensor or slit calibration drift.
Patient positioning sensor fault
MediumSymptoms: Repeated rejects on start, positioning-light misalignment.
Root cause: Bite-block/laser positioning sensor drift.
Cephalometric arm wear (ceph-equipped units)
LowSymptoms: Ceph images misaligned, or arm won't lock in position.
Root cause: Telescoping arm joint or cable wear.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Daily handpiece lubrication and autoclave cycle verification
- ·Compressor moisture-trap draining
- ·Annual full PM
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Gantry rotation drive fault
- Confirm the presentation - typically incomplete or jerky rotation arc; scan aborts.
- Check the most likely cause first: worn rotation motor or drive belt/gear.
- Inspect the affected subsystem against the manufacturer's inspection checklist.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the rotation drive motor / belt per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
Symptom: Sensor / detector calibration drift
- Confirm the presentation - typically banding or uneven density across the scan arc.
- Check the most likely cause first: cCD/CMOS sensor or slit calibration drift.
- Inspect the affected subsystem against the manufacturer's inspection checklist.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the panoramic sensor / detector per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
