The Visionstar SJD-C15 is a battery-powered hand-held dental X-ray generator built for intraoral radiography at the point of care. The tube head runs a high-frequency inverter at 200 kHz, driving a fixed 60 kV tube voltage and a fixed 2 mA tube current. High-frequency operation produces a steadier kilovoltage waveform across the exposure, which supports consistent film or sensor density from one shot to the next and keeps the dose contribution from low-energy photons proportionally smaller.

A 0.4 × 0.4 mm focal spot defines the geometric sharpness of the beam. Combined with the manufacturer-stated 140 mm focus-to-skin distance and standard paralleling technique, that focal spot supports the fine trabecular and periapical detail that caries diagnosis, endodontic working-length confirmation and periodontal bone-level assessment depend on.

Exposure control runs through a backlit LCD panel and a tact-switch keypad. Exposure time is adjustable across 0.2 to 3.2 seconds, giving the operator scope to set anterior, premolar, molar and bitewing values by tooth region and by receptor type. The memory function retains the last programmed exposure parameters, so a practice that has optimised its settings with its Medical Physics Expert keeps those values without re-entering them at each session.

Power comes from a 14.8 V 6600 mAh lithium-ion pack, recharged from any AC 100–240 V 50/60 Hz supply, which makes the unit usable across UK mains and on travel adaptors for overseas clinics. Measured leakage radiation is stated by the manufacturer at ≤ 0.002 mGy/h beyond one metre from the tube head.

The unit is designed to feed an intraoral digital imaging system, and works equally with phosphor storage plates and standard intraoral film. Medigear.uk can arrange supply, delivery, staff familiarisation and service cover for the SJD-C15 across the United Kingdom.

Intraoral radiography sits at the centre of routine UK dental diagnosis, and the SJD-C15 is configured for that work. In general dental practice, it supports bitewing caries detection, periapical assessment of apical pathology, endodontic working-length and obturation checks, periodontal bone-level review, and pre-extraction root morphology assessment. Fixed 60 kV / 2 mA operation with variable exposure time maps cleanly onto region-by-region exposure protocols agreed with a Medical Physics Expert.

Community dental services and special care dentistry teams operating under NHS commissioning make heavy use of carried equipment. Patients with advanced dementia, profound learning disability, motor disorders or end-of-life care needs are frequently unable to transfer to a fixed dental chair, and radiographic assessment at the bedside or in a care home lounge is often the only route to a diagnosis. The 5 kg carried weight and battery operation suit that pattern of work, provided the radiation protection arrangements for off-site exposure have been agreed with the practice's Radiation Protection Adviser in advance.

Oral surgery and implant referral clinics use intraoral views for post-operative healing checks and abutment-level verification alongside their sectional imaging. Orthodontic practices use periapicals for root resorption monitoring during active treatment. Paediatric dentistry benefits from short exposure values and from an approach that lets the operator settle the child before positioning the beam.

Dental education and outreach programmes, prison dental services, military and expedition dentistry, and humanitarian dental missions all depend on equipment that runs from a battery and travels in a small case.

In every setting, UK duties under IRR17 and IR(ME)R 2017 govern registration with the HSE, the appointment of an RPA and MPE, operator training records, and the justification and optimisation of each exposure. Guidance from the College of General Dentistry and UKHSA Dental X-ray Protection Services is the reference point that UK practices work to.

Radiography delivered at the chairside

The tube head is carried to the patient and positioned by hand, so imaging happens where treatment is already taking place. For a practice running a full list, that removes a movement step from the appointment and keeps the patient seated and settled through the exposure.

Two fewer variables to get wrong

Tube voltage and tube current are fixed at 60 kV and 2 mA. Operators set exposure time only. Under a busy list, a single adjustable parameter reduces the scope for setting error and shortens the training curve for newly qualified operators and returning staff.

Optimised settings that stay put

The memory function retains programmed exposure parameters. Once your practice has agreed region-by-region values with its Medical Physics Expert and recorded them in local diagnostic reference levels, those values remain available without re-entry at every session.

High-frequency beam consistency

A 200 kHz inverter holds tube voltage steady across the exposure. Consistent output translates into consistent receptor density, which reduces retakes driven by under- or over-exposure and keeps cumulative patient dose lower across a course of treatment.

Battery independence across the working day

The 14.8 V 6600 mAh lithium pack runs the unit away from a fixed power position, and recharges from any AC 100–240 V 50/60 Hz outlet. A single overnight charge covers a typical general practice day of intraoral radiography.

Ready for a digital imaging workflow

The unit is intended to drive an intraoral digital imaging system, with an exposure range that reaches the short values direct sensors need. Practices already running sensors or phosphor plates can bring the unit into an existing image-management workflow.

Small storage and transport footprint

At 280 × 270 × 250 mm packed and 5.0 kg gross, the unit stores in a cupboard and travels in a car boot. Practices with constrained surgery space and community teams working from a vehicle both benefit from that.

Quick staff familiarisation

An LCD panel and tact-switch keypad present a short, legible control set. Familiarisation concentrates on positioning technique and radiation protection procedure. Medigear.uk can arrange staff familiarisation sessions at installation.

UK supply, delivery and service through one route

Medigear.uk can arrange listing, supply, delivery, commissioning, staff familiarisation, service cover and quotations for the SJD-C15 across the United Kingdom, with site survey support where a practice wants the radiation protection conversation scoped before order.

Fixed 60 kV tube voltage

The generator operates at a fixed 60 kV, a kilovoltage in the established range for intraoral dental radiography and one that supports adequate contrast for caries and periapical assessment.

Fixed 2 mA tube current

Tube current is fixed at 2 mA. Holding mA constant means the exposure product is controlled entirely through time, which simplifies protocol design and audit.

0.4 × 0.4 mm focal spot

A small square focal spot limits geometric unsharpness at the receptor. This is the specification that underpins fine trabecular pattern and lamina dura visibility on periapical views.

200 kHz high-frequency generator

High-frequency inverter operation produces a near-constant potential waveform. The practical effect is steadier output per exposure and a beam with proportionally fewer low-energy photons.

0.2–3.2 second exposure range

A sixteen-fold span of exposure time covers direct digital sensors at the short end and phosphor plate or film technique at the long end, across anterior through molar regions.

Backlit LCD control panel

The display presents the active exposure value and unit status in a single legible view, so the operator confirms the setting before triggering.

Exposure parameter memory

Programmed values are retained by the unit, giving a practice a stable, repeatable starting point for each patient category.

Tact-switch keypad

Membrane tact switches give positive tactile feedback under gloves and are wipeable as part of routine surgery decontamination.

14.8 V 6600 mAh lithium-ion battery

A single high-capacity pack powers the unit. Lithium chemistry holds voltage well through the discharge curve, which supports consistent output across a session.

Universal AC 100–240 V charging

The charger accepts 100–240 V at 50/60 Hz, so the unit runs on UK mains directly and on international supply with a plug adaptor.

Leakage radiation ≤ 0.002 mGy/h at one metre

Manufacturer-stated housing leakage beyond one metre from the tube head. This figure supports the RPA's controlled area and operator position assessment.

Ready-and-exposure status indicators

The panel signals ready and exposure states, giving the operator a clear visual confirmation of machine state at each stage of the cycle.

White moulded housing

A smooth, light-coloured polymer shell presents cleanable surfaces with few crevices, suiting between-patient wipe-down protocols.

Integrated hand strap

A padded strap across the rear of the housing supports single-hand carrying and steadier beam alignment during exposure.

Intraoral digital imaging compatibility

The unit is specified for use with intraoral cavity digital imaging systems, and also works with phosphor storage plates and standard intraoral film.

5.0 kg gross shipping weight

Low carried mass keeps single-operator handling practical across a full list and makes the unit realistic for domiciliary rounds.

280 × 270 × 250 mm packed dimensions

A compact packed envelope keeps delivery straightforward and allows the unit to be stored securely between sessions, which also supports the physical security duties that apply to X-ray equipment.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The unit is an intraoral dental X-ray generator, which is the equipment class that UK general dental practices, community dental services and specialist referral clinics use for periapical and bitewing radiography. Whether it is suitable for your specific setting is a decision for your Radiation Protection Adviser, who will assess it against the Guidance Notes for Dental Practitioners on the Safe Use of X-Ray Equipment and your local radiation risk assessment. Medigear.uk can arrange for the manufacturer's technical documentation to be supplied with your quotation so your RPA has what they need to make that assessment.

Under the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017, employers carrying out dental X-ray work must 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 duties around justification, optimisation, the appointment of a Medical Physics Expert and the training of referrers, practitioners and operators. A critical examination is also required when new X-ray equipment is put into service. These are practice-level legal duties and sit with the employer, not with the equipment supplier.

Yes. The SJD-C15 is intended for use with intraoral digital imaging systems, and the 0.2–3.2 s exposure range covers the shorter exposure times that direct digital sensors typically require as well as the longer values used with phosphor plates and film. Sensor selection, sizing and software integration are separate purchases. Confirm the specific sensor and software pairing at order so the exposure protocol can be set correctly at commissioning.

Tube voltage and tube current are fixed by design at 60 kV and 2 mA. The variable the operator sets is exposure time, adjustable between 0.2 and 3.2 seconds through the LCD panel and keypad. Fixed kV and mA reduce the number of parameters an operator can get wrong under time pressure, and the memory function preserves the values your practice has optimised.

The manufacturer states leakage radiation of ≤ 0.002 mGy/h measured beyond one metre from the tube head. This is a leakage figure for the housing and is distinct from operator scatter dose during exposure, which depends on technique, receptor type, backscatter shielding and where the operator stands. Your RPA will measure and advise on the doses that actually apply in your surgery.

UK radiation protection guidance on hand-held dental X-ray equipment addresses operator position and backscatter protection directly, and many UK Radiation Protection Advisers require a backscatter shield as a condition of use. Treat shielding as part of the core specification conversation. Medigear.uk can arrange for shielding accessories to be quoted alongside the unit where your RPA specifies them.

The 14.8 V 6600 mAh lithium-ion pack charges from a universal AC 100–240 V 50/60 Hz supply, so it works on UK mains without a converter. Exposure counts per charge depend on the exposure times used and on standby duty cycle. Plan charging around session structure — an overnight charge covers a normal working day of intraoral radiography in most general practice patterns.

Dental X-ray equipment is subject to routine quality assurance and periodic radiological testing under IRR17. UK service providers commonly apply an annual radiological testing interval to hand-held units, alongside annual electro-mechanical inspection. A critical examination is required at installation. Your RPA sets the schedule that applies to your registration. Medigear.uk can arrange service cover and inspection scheduling as part of the supply package.

Geometric sharpness is governed by the 0.4 × 0.4 mm focal spot, and beam consistency by the 200 kHz high-frequency generator. In practice, a correctly positioned exposure at the appropriate time setting produces the periapical detail needed for caries diagnosis, apical pathology assessment and endodontic length verification. Image quality also depends heavily on receptor choice, holder use and processing, so audit your first batch of radiographs against your practice's image quality criteria.

Exposure time is adjustable down to 0.2 seconds, which gives scope to set reduced values for smaller patients as part of your optimisation protocol. Paediatric exposure factors should be agreed with your Medical Physics Expert and recorded in your local diagnostic reference levels. The hand-carried format allows the operator to bring the tube head to a child who is settled in position, which can reduce repeat exposures caused by movement.

Battery operation and a 5 kg carried weight make the unit workable for community dental services, care home rounds and bedside review where the patient cannot transfer to a fixed chair. Domiciliary radiography carries its own radiation protection requirements — controlled area definition away from the practice, operator distance and shielding all need explicit RPA sign-off before the first visit. Confirm the arrangements before scheduling mobile sessions.

Warranty terms are set and issued by the seller or manufacturer, and typically run 12–24 months on this equipment class. Confirm the exact terms, the parts covered and the battery warranty position at quotation, as battery packs are often warranted on a shorter cycle than the tube head. Medigear.uk can arrange extended service cover, planned maintenance visits and consumable supply for UK customers.
