The Planmeca ProSensor uses the latest Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor technology and advanced design features that deliver a technologically sophisticated product and superior imagery.
Planmeca announces its new Planmeca ProSensor digital imaging system that combines durability with enhanced functionality and mobility.
The Planmeca ProSensor was designed to withstand rigorous use with only 2 wires inside a cable that is strengthened with Kevlar. The intelligent housing design with rounded edges and active imaging area maximizes both patient comfort and imaging performance. For effective infection control and prevention, the sensor is hermetically sealed to allow full immersion in disinfectant.
The sensors are connected to a single interface box with a magnetic connector—a new application exclusive to Planmeca—that allows one-handed operation and instant interruption of the connection under tension. The LED lights on the interface box change colors to guide the user and ensure successful image acquisition and quality.
Planmeca’s sensor technology allows dentists to process images immediately, creating a quicker response for patients and enhancing dental office efficiency. The ProSensor system also has the ability to connect through ethernet, which allows dentists the freedom to operate the system from any location that has network connectivity.
Featuring a 5-year warranty, the Planmeca ProSensor is available in 3 sizes— 0, 1, and 2. —Jason Schwartz

The Health Insurance Portability &
Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)
originated in the early 1990s under
the Bush Administration, as a group
of healthcare industry leaders were
called together to discuss how
healthcare administration costs could
be reduced. The conclusion was to
increase the use of electronic data
interchange (EDI) within the industry.
Though signed into law on August
21, 1996, repeated delays in
development of the draft rules
prevented final adoption until
late 2000.
