PROCESSING
CEA DI can be processed in all kinds of X-ray processing systems that ensure a minimum time as required for intra-oral films.
- Automatic processors: Total processing time is dependent on temperature and the type of processor being used, 4 to 6 minutes or longer.
- Mechanised tank development with automatic film transport: Total processing time is dependent on processing time being used.
- Manual development of films in tanks or trays: Recommended development time of 5 minutes at a temperature of 20° C. The fixing time should be twice the clearing time, at least 2 minutes. In order to ensure good archiving quality, the films must be washed in running water (18-22° C) for a minimum of 10 minutes.
DARKROOM HANDLING
The intra-oral film is compatible with most typical safelights in use. All lamps with radiated light starting from 500 nm can be used. Darkroom lighting with sodium or mercury vapour lamps or darkroom lamps with green, red, orange-red or yellow safety filter can be used.

CEA cassettes
The CEA cassette is a strong, light-weight and durable cassette in hard plastic. The cassette is available with or without identification window (EU type and US type). The excellent film/screen contact is achieved by magnetic attraction between a magnetised rubber cushion and a floating steel foil.
