Trophy ETX Periapical X-ray Unit Analysis Report

Overview and Product Description

The product shown in the images is a wall-mounted periapical X-ray unit used in dentistry. The unit consists of a control panel, an articulated arm connected to this panel, and an X-ray tube head located at the end of the arm. The primary function of the product is to take intraoral (inside the mouth) X-ray films for detailed imaging of teeth and jawbone. There is a total of 1 X-ray unit in the images. No additional accessories, boxes, or documents are present.

Brand and Model Identification

Based on the logo and text on the control panel, the brand of the unit has been clearly identified as Trophy. The model is understood to be ETX (Electronic X-Ray Timer) as indicated on the panel. The overall design and label details of the product suggest that it is an original device.

Physical Condition and Deformation Assessment

The overall condition of the unit is assessed as used. It shows significant signs of wear due to age and use.

• Casing and Plastic Components: There is significant yellowing on the unit’s white plastic casing, especially around the control panel and tube head. Scratches, scuff marks, and minor paint chipping are observed on various parts of the casing.
• Dirt and Dust: There are accumulations of dust and dirt on the product in general, and particularly in recessed areas.
• Arm and Joints: The unit’s articulated arm mechanism appears structurally sound. However, there is a red sticker with the number “2” on the arm. This may indicate that the unit was one of the numbered pieces of equipment in a clinic.

Mechanical Components and Control Panel

Upon visual inspection of the unit’s mechanical and control components, no broken or missing parts have been identified.

• Tube Head: The X-ray tube head is in place and the collimator (beam limiting cone) at its end is present. The rotary knob with an analog dial on the side, which adjusts the angle of the head, appears to be intact.
• Control Panel: The main rotary dial for setting the exposure time, the power button, and the indicator lights on the panel are all in place. The panel also features a 3-pin socket input, likely used for a remote exposure control. No remote control or accessory to be plugged into this input is present in the images.

Labels and Technical Information

Some of the unit’s technical specifications are indicated on the labels on the control panel. However, information such as the serial number or year of manufacture has not been found.

• Brand: Trophy
• Model: ETX Electronic X-Ray Timer
• Technical Specifications: 70 kV, 8 mA
• Fuse Information: FUSE TIMED 1.6A, FUSE FEM 6.3A
• Warning: ATTENTION RAYONS X (Attention X-Rays)
• Exposure Times: The control dial has exposure time options ranging from 0.05 to 3.20 seconds.

Potential Malfunction Risks and Conclusion

No obvious malfunction (broken part, error message, etc.) is observed on the unit in the images. The mechanical components of the unit appear to be functional. However, considering the age of the product and its significant cosmetic wear, some potential risks can be anticipated. The yellowing of the plastic components and general wear indicate that the unit has been in use for a long time. This situation may lead to a risk of performance degradation in the electronic components over time. There is also a possibility that the cables inside the articulated arm may have worn out due to years of movement. These stated potential risks are only a prediction based on an external visual inspection and do not mean that the unit is definitively faulty or will fail.
