The Visionstar SJD-312 is a battery-powered dental X-ray generator for intraoral radiography at the point of care. The generator runs at 30 kHz, with tube voltage selectable at 60 or 70 kV, tube current selectable across 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 mA, and exposure timing from 0.1 to 2 seconds. Tube focus is specified at order as 0.4 mm or 0.8 mm.

The control face carries a small colour screen. Colour separation earns its place away from the surgery as much as in it: a care home bedroom, a day room or a bedside has whatever lighting it has, and a panel whose fields are distinguished by colour as well as position stays readable across that range. For a unit likely to spend part of its life on domiciliary visits, that is a working consideration rather than a styling one.

Published dimensions are 145 × 145 × 140 mm at 1.7 kg. A near-square body packs cleanly into a transport case alongside receptors, holders and a charger, and stows in a lockable drawer between sessions, which helps discharge the physical security duty IRR17 places on the employer.

Two kilovoltage settings, four milliamp steps and a twenty-fold timing range give a Medical Physics Expert scope when writing protocols under the optimisation duty in IR(ME)R 2017. Agree the values with your MPE and record them as local diagnostic reference levels.

Published distance from skin to cone is 130 mm — raise that with your Radiation Protection Adviser during specification, since UK dental guidance sets minimum focus-to-skin distances that differ above 60 kV, and this unit offers a 70 kV setting. Power comes from a DC 14.8 V 1600 mAh lithium pack, charged from AC 100–240 V with a DC 16.8 V output, rated at 100–300 VA. Medigear.uk can arrange supply, delivery, commissioning, staff familiarisation and service cover for the SJD-312 across the United Kingdom.

Intraoral radiography carries the diagnostic load in UK general dentistry, and the SJD-312 is configured for that daily volume. It supports bitewing caries detection, periapical assessment of pathology, endodontic length verification, alveolar bone-level review and root morphology assessment ahead of extraction.

Denture and edentulous care is where this unit is positioned, and it is a large, under-equipped population. Retained roots left at extraction are common and often silent until a denture presses on one. Buried teeth, sharp bony spicules and radiolucencies in healed extraction sites all show on periapical views, and any of them can explain a denture that will not settle or a sore spot that keeps recurring. A residual cyst — one left behind after the associated tooth was removed — is frequently found this way rather than sought.

Special care dentistry and community dental services carry much of that caseload. Older people in care homes, people living with advanced dementia, and patients receiving palliative care often cannot transfer to a fixed dental chair, so assessment happens at the bedside or in a day room. A carried unit is what makes the radiograph possible at all, provided off-site radiation protection arrangements have been agreed with the practice's Radiation Protection Adviser in advance.

Technique deserves specific attention with this population. Receptor holders are designed to be stabilised by the patient biting on them, and an edentulous ridge removes that anchor, so occlusal views, modified holder technique and cotton wool packing become the working methods. Operators should be trained in them explicitly.

Prosthetic planning uses these views for localised questions, alongside a panoramic radiograph where a whole-arch view of ridge form and sinus position is what the clinician actually needs.

Guidance from the College of General Dentistry and UKHSA Dental X-ray Protection Services remains the reference point UK practices work to, alongside HSE enforcement of IRR17.

An answer for the denture that will not settle

Retained roots, bony spicules and radiolucencies under a denture-bearing area are all findings a periapical view can produce, and any of them can turn a series of adjustment appointments into a definite plan.

Readable wherever the visit happens.

Colour separates machine state, selected value and active setting by hue as well as position, which holds up in a care home bedroom or day room where the lighting is whatever it happens to be.

Sized for the case and the drawer.

A 145 × 145 × 140 mm body packs squarely alongside receptors, holders and a charger, and stows in a lockable drawer between sessions — helping discharge the physical security duty IRR17 places on the employer.

Reaches the patient who cannot be moved

At 1.7 kg, the unit travels to a bedside or day room, which for many older and palliative patients is the difference between having a radiograph and not having one.

An exposure envelope that spans the view set

Two kilovoltage settings and four milliamp steps let a protocol reach from paediatric anterior views up to molar bitewings on a large adult, with values agreed by your MPE and recorded as local diagnostic reference levels.

Tube focus specified at order.

Focus is offered at 0.4 mm or 0.8 mm, chosen at order alongside working distance and receptor type — a specification decision your Medical Physics Expert can be part of at the ordering stage.

Consistent output for review comparison

A 30 kHz inverter holds output steady through the exposure, so a review radiograph after a surgical removal is comparable with the one that prompted it.

UK supply, commissioning and service through one route

Medigear.uk can arrange listing, supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, staff familiarisation, service cover, planned maintenance and quotations for the SJD-312 across the United Kingdom, including requesting the manufacturer's focus-to-skin, cone, filtration and battery documentation.

Small colour screen

A colour panel distinguishes machine state, selected value and active setting by hue as well as position on a compact reading face.

145 × 145 × 140 mm body

Published dimensions give a near-square body, suited to lockable drawer storage and to packing squarely in a transport case.

Selectable tube voltage at 60 or 70 kV

Two kilovoltage settings support protocols that vary by region, patient build and the greyscale range a view requires.

Selectable tube current across four steps

Tube current is offered at 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 mA, giving a second exposure variable alongside kilovoltage and time.

0.1–2 second exposure timing

A twenty-fold span reaches direct digital sensors at the short end and phosphor storage plate or film technique at the upper limit.

Tube focus at 0.4 mm or 0.8 mm

Focus size is specified at order, one of the figures governing geometric sharpness at the receptor alongside working distance and receptor type.

30 kHz generator

High-frequency drive produces a steady output waveform through the exposure, supporting repeatable receptor density from one radiograph to the next.

130 mm published skin-to-cone distance

The manufacturer publishes a skin-to-cone figure; confirm with the manufacturer whether this is the focus-to-skin distance and which kilovoltage settings the supplied cone supports, and have your RPA review it.

Membrane control keypad

A sealed key array gives positive tactile feedback under glove and presents a flat, wipeable control face for routine decontamination.

Ready and exposure indicators

Illuminated status markers signal machine state through the exposure cycle, giving visual confirmation at each stage.

Side-mounted exposure release

The exposure control sits on the side of the housing, within reach of the carrying hand while the head is held in position.

DC 14.8 V 1600 mAh lithium battery

An integrated lithium pack powers the unit away from a fixed power position, charged from AC 100–240 V with a DC 16.8 V output and a 100–300 VA rating.

Moulded hand strap

An integrated strap across the housing supports single-hand carrying and steadier beam alignment while the exposure is taken.

1.7 kg published weight

The figure that determines whether one clinician can realistically carry the unit through a domiciliary round alongside a kit bag.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

More than people often expect. Retained roots left at extraction are common and frequently asymptomatic until a denture presses on them. Sharp bony spicules, unerupted or buried teeth, and radiolucencies in a healed extraction site all appear on periapical views, and any of them can explain a sore spot or a denture that will not settle. The findings routinely change whether a patient is fitted, referred for surgical removal, or reviewed.

Yes, and it is worth planning for. Standard receptor holders are designed to be stabilised by the patient biting on them, so an edentulous ridge removes the usual anchor. Occlusal views and modified holder technique are the common answers, along with cotton wool rolls to pack the receptor into position. Train operators specifically in edentulous technique rather than assuming dentate technique transfers, and expect to allow more chair time.

For localised questions, yes — the state of a particular site, a suspected retained root, a radiolucency the clinician can feel or see. For a whole-arch view of ridge form, sinus position and the full complement of buried roots, a panoramic radiograph is the appropriate request, and intraoral views supplement it. Each exposure is justified individually under IR(ME)R 2017, so the question being asked should determine the projection selected.

A residual cyst is one left behind after the associated tooth was removed, and it presents as a well-defined radiolucency in an otherwise healed edentulous area. Periapical views show it where it lies within the field, though a lesion of any size usually needs a wider projection to appreciate its full extent, and referral for assessment follows. Radiographs of edentulous areas in denture patients are one of the more common ways these are found at all.

Readability across variable conditions. Colour distinguishes machine state, the selected value and the active setting by hue as well as position, which holds up in a care home bedroom or day room where the lighting is whatever it happens to be. On a unit that travels, that consistency across environments is worth more than it would be in a fixed surgery.

Raise this before ordering. UK dental guidance sets minimum focus-to-skin distances for intraoral equipment, and the required figure steps up for sets operating above 60 kV — commonly expressed as 100 mm at 60 kV and below, and 200 mm above 60 kV. This unit offers a 70 kV setting and publishes a 130 mm skin-to-cone figure. Ask the manufacturer to confirm whether that is the focus-to-skin distance or a cone measurement, whether a longer cone is available, and which kilovoltage settings the supplied cone supports. Have your Radiation Protection Adviser resolve it before the unit goes into service.

The pack is a DC 14.8 V 1600 mAh lithium unit, charged from AC 100–240 V with a DC 16.8 V output, so it runs on UK mains directly. The manufacturer does not publish an exposures-per-charge figure, which matters for a unit intended for domiciliary rounds where a mid-session recharge is impractical. Request it at quotation along with spare pack availability and pricing.

The Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 require employers carrying out dental X-ray work to register with the Health and Safety Executive, appoint a Radiation Protection Adviser, nominate a Radiation Protection Supervisor and complete a radiation risk assessment. The Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations 2017 add the appointment of a Medical Physics Expert, justification and optimisation of each exposure, and documented training for referrers, practitioners and operators. A critical examination is required when the equipment is put into service.

Dental X-ray equipment is subject to routine quality assurance and periodic radiological testing under IRR17, alongside annual electro-mechanical inspection, with a critical examination required at installation. UK service providers commonly apply an annual radiological testing interval to hand-carried units, and your Radiation Protection Adviser sets the schedule. Warranty terms are set and issued by the seller or manufacturer, typically 12–24 months, with battery packs often warranted on a shorter cycle — confirm at quotation.
