Intended Use
The Cranex Tome Ceph is intended for producing x-ray images of dentistry, TMJ and skull. The Cranex Tome is intended for producing x-ray images of dentistry and TMI.
Device Story
Cranex Tome/Tome Ceph is a high-frequency tomographic, radiographic system for dental and skull imaging. Device utilizes autotomography with spiral blurring movement, achieved by simultaneous tilting and rotating of a C-arm. Input is patient anatomy; output is film-based panoramic, tomographic, TMJ, or cephalometric x-ray images. Operated by dental professionals in clinical settings. System includes moving column, C-arm, adjustable chin/head supports, bite-block, and positioning lights. Software prevents exposure if cephalometric cassette is incorrect. Healthcare providers use images for diagnostic assessment of mandible, maxilla, TMJ, and sinus. Benefits include precise anatomical visualization for dental and maxillofacial treatment planning.
Clinical Evidence
Safety and effectiveness demonstrated through clinical tests, software verification/validation, and risk management procedures.
Technological Characteristics
High-frequency DC X-ray equipment; autotomography with spiral blurring movement; C-arm architecture; film/intensifying screen image reception; adjustable chin/head supports; soft tissue filter (Ceph model); software-based cassette verification.
Indications for Use
Indicated for diagnostic dental radiography at the dento-maxillofacial region and cephalometry in patients requiring extra-oral x-ray imaging. Methods include narrow beam radiography, spiral tomography, and central projection cephalometry.
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.

{1}------------------------------------------------
# IV Product Description
Cranex Tome Ceph is a high frequency Tomographic, Radiographic system capable of producing dental panoramic and tomographic images, TMJ (TemporoMandibular Joint) tomographic images and cephalometric images. It is available in two models with (Cranex Tome Ceph) and without (Cranex Tome) the cephalometric option. The Cranex TOME uses the principle of autotomography with a spiral blurring movement. This movement, which is similar to the movement used by the Soredex SCANORA®, is achieved by tilting and rotating the C-arm at the same time.
The Cranex Tome comprises of
- moving column
- C-arm
- An adjustable two-position chin support is used to carry out all exposure procedures.
- Four-point head support and bite-block system
- A large adjustable mirror
- The patient positioning lights
- control panel
- graphical display
- wide range of x-ray programs for mandible, maxilla, temporomandibular joint,
sinus, and cephalometric exposures.
- high-frequency generator
-15x30 cm panoramic cassette for paroramic and tomographic imaging
And the following with the cephalometric unit
- Soft tissue filter adjustment with LED positioning indicators
- selectable magnification ratio and a rotatable head support with positioning stops every 45 degrees.
-The system software makes it impossible to take an exposure if the cephalometric cassette is the wrong size or incorrectly positioned.
-Accepts 18x24, 8"x10" or 24x30 cm cephalometric cassettes
- The cephalometric arm can be mounted on either the left- or the right-hand side of the unit
-An cephalometric kit is available so that Cranex TOME can be upgraded to a Cranex TOME Ceph .
#### V Inteded Use of the Device
The Cranex Tome Ceph is intended for producing x-ray images of dentistry, TMJ and skull.
The Cranex Tome is intended for producing x-ray images of dentistry and TMI.
{2}------------------------------------------------
#### VI Indications for Use/Rationale for Substantial Equivalence
Cranex Tome Ceph, Tomographic x-ray system is used as an extra-oral source for x-rays in dental radiography.
It has similar instructions for use and installation, used materials, design, mode of x-ray generation (DC), operational and functional features as the substantial equivalent devices. It does not have all the different imaging programs of Scanora , however a substantial portion of those. Patient supporting, imaging programs and technique factor selection in cephalometric imaging is similar to Oralix Pan DC III Ceph (or Cranex 3 Ceph).
# VII Summary of technological charasteristics
Cranex Tome Ceph is
- a high-frequency DC X-ray equipment
- imaging programs for panoramic and tomographic examinations of the dentistry
- imaging programs for tomographic examinations of the TMJ
- imaging programs for cephalometric examinations of the skull.
#### VIII Safety and Effectiveness Information
Safety and effectiveness is demonstrated by:
- clinical tests
- software verification, validation and certification procedures
- risk analysis
- risk management file
All the above items and evaluations lead to the conclution that Cranex Tome and Cranex Tome Ceph are safe and effective when the unit is used as labeled.
#### IX Conclution
Crane Tome Ceph Tomographic, Radiographic system is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices : Scanora and Oralix DC III Ceph (or Cranex 3 Ceph).
The unit has similar design .operational and functional features as the current marketed predicative devices.
The device has been shown to be safe and effective when it is used as labelled.
