If the sensor is infected, it causes the transmission of infection from one patient to another. Disinfecting an RVG sensor (digital dental X-ray sensor) requires proper care and attention to ensure it remains in good working condition. Here are some general steps to follow:

&nbsp;

<ol>
	<li style="list-style-type:decimal; text-align:justify">Unplug the RVG sensor and disconnect it from the computer before cleaning. Cleaning an X-ray sensor when it&#39;s connected to the computer can result in electric shock that can be life-threatening. Before wiping it with an alcohol swab, double-check that the sensor is detached from the computer.</li>
</ol>

&nbsp;

<ol start="2">
	<li style="list-style-type:decimal; text-align:justify">Use a disposable disinfectant wipe or a soft, lint-free cloth with a small amount of disinfectant solution to wipe the sensor&#39;s surface. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive materials that can scratch the sensor. A cleaning paper considered rough to clean the sensor can result in micro-abrasions.</li>
</ol>

&nbsp;

<ol start="3">
	<li style="list-style-type:decimal; text-align:justify">Wipe the sensor gently in a circular motion, covering all surfaces. BE gentle, do not rub with too much pressure.</li>
</ol>

&nbsp;

<ol start="4">
	<li style="list-style-type:decimal; text-align:justify">Allow the disinfectant to sit on the sensor&#39;s surface for the recommended duration specified by the manufacturer. The recommended disinfectant is 70% isopropyl alcohol.</li>
</ol>

&nbsp;

<ol start="5">
	<li style="list-style-type:decimal; text-align:justify">After the recommended time has passed, wipe the sensor with a clean, dry cloth to remove any excess disinfectant solution. Wipe the sensor gently in a circular motion.</li>
</ol>

&nbsp;

<ol start="6">
	<li style="list-style-type:decimal; text-align:justify">Store your RVG sensor in a clean, dry, and protected environment to prevent damage or contamination. The storage environment should be moisture free.</li>
</ol>

&nbsp;

It&#39;s important to follow the manufacturer&#39;s instructions for cleaning and disinfecting the RVG sensor, as different sensors may require different care. Additionally, ensure that the disinfectant solution is compatible with the RVG sensor&#39;s material and does not cause damage or corrosion over time.
