Blackstone HS-X101

Product Code: DAOC-DI-3968

Fixed to the wall at the chair, so the floor stays clear.

An articulated wall arm carries the 60 kV, 8 mA tubehead to each patient and swings it back afterwards, while a microprocessor timer sets exposures from 0.2 to 4 seconds. Leakage stays at 0.002 mGy/h or below at one metre.

Supplied by Blackstone, the HS-X101 is a wall-mounted intraoral dental X-ray aimed at practices that want a fixed source at the chair. Its tube runs at 60 kV and 8 mA through a 1.5 mm focal spot, with 2.5 mm total aluminium filtration. An optional configuration pairs a 0.5 mA tube current with a 0.8 mm focal spot. Exposure time ranges from 0.2 to 4 seconds on a microprocessor timer, and leakage radiation measures 0.002 mGy/h or less at one metre. The unit is rated at 1 kVA on a 220 V ± 10%, 50 Hz supply. Image capture requires a separate sensor, film, or phosphor plate, since the unit generates only the beam.

Its defining feature is where it sits. The control panel and the articulated arm fix to the wall beside the dental chair, so the tubehead swings out to the patient and back again without standing on the floor. Every radiograph is taken in the chair the patient already occupies, and the surgery keeps its floor for the chair, the clinician and the nurse. Once fitted, the unit is part of the surgery, with nothing to set up before the first radiograph of the day.

Light-touch keys on the control panel select exposure settings under microcomputer control. Voltage and current do not change, which leaves the selected exposure time as the only variable the timer controls. The unit works with intraoral digital sensor systems and film, and the optional 0.5 mA, 0.8 mm configuration suits practices that want a finer focal spot for detail work.

It is available to business buyers in more than 80 countries.

General dental practices fit the HS-X101 at the chair where intraoral radiographs are taken most often, so periapical and bitewing images are taken without the patient moving. The articulated arm brings the tubehead to the cheek for each angle, and folding it back to the wall returns the space around the chair to the dental team.

Endodontic practices take working-length and post-obturation radiographs within one appointment, while implant teams image each fixture after placement and again at review. Practices that fit one unit per surgery give every clinician an X-ray within reach, with the same light-touch controls in each room. Community dental services and multi-surgery groups standardise on one wall unit per surgery, so a locum finds identical controls in every room. Orthodontic and paediatric lists use it for bitewing checks at routine reviews.

Dental nurses prepare the sensor, film or phosphor plate and the holder, while the clinician sets the exposure time on the control panel. Teams moving from film to digital keep the same unit, since it works with intraoral sensor systems and film alike. The optional 0.5 mA, 0.8 mm configuration suits practices whose work leans on fine detail, such as endodontic files and root outlines.

Training clinics and dental school chairs suit a fixed unit as well, because every student meets the same control panel and the same arm movement at each chair.

It does not suit domiciliary visits or imaging spread across several sites, which call for a portable source. Panoramic and cephalometric imaging need an extraoral system, and the stated supply is 220 V ± 10% at 50 Hz.

A clear floor around the chair

The control panel and arm live on the wall, so nothing stands on the floor beside the chair. The surgery keeps its working space for people and equipment.

Always at the chair

The X-ray is fixed where radiographs are taken, so nobody fetches a unit or moves the patient. Each image is taken in the treatment chair.

Leakage of 0.002 mGy/h at one metre

Radiation escaping the tube housing remains at 0.002 mGy/h or less one metre away, keeping stray exposure around the chair small.

2.5 mm aluminium total filtration

The beam passes through 2.5 mm of aluminium total filtration, which strips out low-energy photons that would add dose without reaching the receptor.

Exposure time as the only setting

Tube voltage and current stay fixed at 60 kV and 8 mA, leaving exposure time between 0.2 and 4 seconds as the one choice per radiograph. The technique stays simple to teach and repeat.

A finer focal spot as an option

An optional 0.5 mA configuration reduces the focal spot to 0.8 mm for practices that want sharper fine detail.

Works with sensors and film

Intraoral digital sensor systems and film both pair with the unit. A practice can change receptors over time without changing the X-ray.

A single 220 V, 1 kVA supply

The unit is rated at 1 kVA on a 220 V ± 10%, 50 Hz supply, which works out to roughly 4.5 A at 220 V for the circuit behind it.

Wall-mounted control panel

The control panel mounts on the wall beside the chair and carries the light-touch keys for exposure selection.

Articulated arm

An articulated arm carries the tubehead from the wall to the patient and back.

Tubehead with cone

The tubehead holds the X-ray tube and directs the beam through its cone.

60 kV tube voltage

Tube voltage is 60 kV.

8 mA tube current

Tube current is 8 mA in the standard configuration.

1.5 mm focal spot

The standard tube has a focal spot of 1.5 mm.

Optional 0.5 mA, 0.8 mm configuration

An optional configuration runs at 0.5 mA with a 0.8 mm focal spot.

2.5 mm Al total filtration

Total filtration is 2.5 mm of aluminium.

Exposure time from 0.2 to 4 seconds

The timer sets exposures anywhere from 0.2 to 4 seconds.

Microcomputer-controlled timer

Microcomputer control sets and holds each exposure from the light-touch keys.

Leakage radiation at one metre

Leakage measures 0.002 mGy/h or less at a distance of one metre.

220 V, 50 Hz, 1 kVA supply

The unit runs on 220 V ± 10% at 50 Hz and is rated at 1 kVA.

Receptor compatibility

Sensor systems, film, and phosphor plate scanners can each serve as its image receptor.

The HS-X101 belongs in a dental practice, general or specialist, that wants intraoral radiography fixed at the chair, taking images without moving the patient and without a unit on the floor. Its case is elegant: a wall-mounted control panel and articulated arm that keep the surgery clear. The limits that matter most come down to four points. No CE or UKCA position is evidenced for this model. It stays on one wall and runs on a 220 V, 50 Hz supply. It is a source only, so a sensor, film,m or plate system is needed, and its standard focal spot is 1.5 mm, with 0.8 mm available through the optional 0.5 mA configuration.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

The control panel and the articulated arm mount on a wall beside the dental chair, positioned so the tubehead reaches the patient's head. The unit runs on a 220 V ± 10%, 50 Hz supply and is rated at 1 kVA.

The tube runs at 60 kV and 8 mA through a 1.5 mm focal spot, behind 2.5 mm of aluminium total filtration. Exposures are set from 0.2 to 4 seconds on the microprocessor timer.

An optional configuration runs the tube at 0.5 mA with a 0.8 mm focal spot. The smaller focal spot sharpens fine edges on the image, and the lower current means exposure time does more of the work for each radiograph.

Leakage radiation measures 0.002 mGy/h or less at a distance of one metre from the unit. That figure describes radiation escaping the tube housing, separate from the useful beam leaving the cone.

Intraoral digital sensor systems and film both pair with it, and a phosphor plate scanner offers a third way to capture the image. The unit supplies the beam, so a practice can use the receptor system it already has or add one.

A practice that needs one X-ray to serve several rooms or sites needs a portable source, which this wall-fixed unit is not. Panoramic and cephalometric imaging need an extraoral system, and sites on 110 V or 60 Hz mains sit outside its stated 220 V, 50 Hz supply.

No CE or UKCA position is evidenced for the HS-X101. Its figures describe tube output, filtration, exposure range and leakage, which say nothing about conformity marking.

Light-touch keys on the wall-mounted control panel select the exposure under microcomputer control. Because tube voltage and current stay fixed, the clinician chooses only the exposure time, anywhere from 0.2 to 4 seconds.

Filtration removes the lowest-energy X-rays from the beam before it leaves the tubehead. Those photons would be absorbed in the patient's tissue without reaching the receptor, so filtering them reduces dose without adding to the image.
