The Visionstar SJD-311 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.

Published dimensions are 145 × 145 × 140 mm at 1.7 kg — a body almost square in every direction. That shape has a practical consequence a specification sheet rarely spells out. X-ray equipment carries physical security duties under IRR17, because unauthorised use is a foreseeable risk, and a unit that drops into a standard lockable surgery drawer or a small cabinet makes that duty easy to discharge.

The same shape helps with transport. A near-cubic body packs squarely into a case alongside receptors, holders and a charger, which matters for community services and outreach teams loading a vehicle.

The control face carries a monochromatic screen. High-contrast character rendering against a plain background holds legibility under the direct beam of an operating lamp and at the oblique angles an operator reads from while the head is held in position, so the active setting is confirmed without shading the panel.

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-311 across the United Kingdom.

Intraoral radiography carries the diagnostic load in UK general dentistry, and the SJD-311 is configured for that daily volume. It supports bitewing caries detection, periapical assessment of pathology, endodontic working-length and obturation verification, alveolar bone-level review, and root morphology assessment ahead of extraction.

Fracture assessment is a demanding application and worth approaching with clear eyes. Horizontal root fractures, crown-root fractures and cracked cusps are all investigated with periapical views, but a fracture line only registers when the beam runs close to parallel with it. Additional views at differing horizontal angulations raise the chance of detection, and vertical root fractures in particular remain difficult to see on intraoral films, with sectional imaging often the deciding investigation. A periapical showing no fracture line does not exclude one, and case notes should record that distinction.

Resorption monitoring is a more comfortable fit. External cervical resorption, internal resorption, orthodontic root resorption and replacement resorption after trauma are all followed on serial periapicals. The method depends on comparability, so consistent exposure and reproducible geometry carry the diagnostic weight. Telling internal from external resorption usually needs a second view at a shifted horizontal angulation.

Storage and transport considerations run through every setting. A 145 × 145 × 140 mm body stows in a lockable drawer, which discharges the physical security duty IRR17 places on the employer, and packs squarely into a case for community dental services, domiciliary rounds and outreach programmes — where off-site radiation protection arrangements need agreement with the Radiation Protection Adviser in advance.

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.

A body that locks away easily

At 145 × 145 × 140 mm, the unit fits a standard lockable surgery drawer or small cabinet, which turns the IRR17 physical security duty into a simple key-control arrangement written into local rules.

Packs squarely for travel

A near-cubic body sits cleanly in a transport case alongside receptors, holders and a charger, which matters where a vehicle is loaded for community rounds and outreach sessions.

A readout confirmed without repositioning

High-contrast monochrome character rendering holds legibility under an operating lamp and at oblique angles, so the setting is checked before triggering with the unit already positioned and one hand occupied.

Focus chosen for fine detail.

Tube focus at 0.4 mm or 0.8 mm is specified at order. A hairline fracture line or an early resorptive defect is the sort of finding geometric sharpness helps resolve, so the choice is worth making deliberately with your Medical Physics Expert.

Consistency for serial comparison

Resorption monitoring is a comparison exercise, and a 30 kHz inverter holding output steady through the exposure keeps successive images comparable. Reproducible geometry from holders carries the rest.

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.

Carried by one clinician

At 1.7 kg, the unit sits comfortably within single-person handling for a full list or a community round, alongside whatever else has to travel.

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-311 across the United Kingdom, including requesting the manufacturer's focus-to-skin, cone, filtration and battery documentation.

145 × 145 × 140 mm body

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

Monochromatic screen

A high-contrast character display presents the active exposure settings and machine state on a plain background.

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 full list or a community round.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Two things. First, storage: IRR17 places physical security duties on the employer, since unauthorised use of X-ray equipment is a foreseeable risk, and a body measuring 145 × 145 × 140 mm fits a standard lockable drawer or cabinet, so key control becomes a simple arrangement to write into your local rules. Second, transport: a square body packs cleanly into a case with receptors, holders and a charger for community or outreach work.

High-contrast character rendering against a plain background, which holds legibility under an operating lamp and at the oblique viewing angles an operator reads from while the unit is held in position. The active setting is confirmed before the exposure without shading the panel by hand. On a machine where kilovoltage, current and time are each operator-selected, reading all three at a glance is worth having.

Sometimes, and it is important to understand the limits. A fracture line becomes visible on a periapical radiograph only when the beam runs close to parallel with it, so a single view can miss a fracture entirely. Taking additional views at differing horizontal angulations improves the chance of catching one. Vertical root fractures in particular are recognised as difficult to detect on intraoral radiographs, and small-volume sectional imaging is frequently what settles the question. Treat a negative periapical as inconclusive rather than as exclusion.

Periapical views are the standard means of following external cervical resorption, internal resorption and the root resorption that can accompany orthodontic treatment or follow dental trauma. Serial comparison is the method, so reproducible geometry and consistent exposure matter more than any single image. Distinguishing internal from external resorption often needs a second view at a shifted horizontal angulation, and sometimes sectional imaging, since the two can look similar on one projection.

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.

Focus is specified at order as 0.4 mm or 0.8 mm. Focus size governs geometric unsharpness at the receptor, and a hairline fracture or an early resorptive defect is exactly the sort of finding that geometric sharpness helps resolve. Discuss the choice with your Medical Physics Expert alongside your working distance and receptor type, and confirm it in writing on the order.

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 is worth asking about where multiple angulations per tooth are expected. 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.
