  25. Processors-Manual • Manual Tank • Requires 3 separate tanks for developer, water rinse and fixer. • Developer is always on the left, water in the center and fixer is always on the right.

  26. Processing Solutions • Developing solution • Fixer solution • Different products for automatic processors and manual processing.

  27. Processing Materials • Different types of thermometers to check solution temperature.

  28. Film Holders • Rinn Kit • Snap-A-Ray

  29. Dental Film • Different sizes to accommodate different areas of the mouth. • Size 0- pedo or child size film • Size 1- anterior teeth • Size 2- posterior teeth • Size 4- occlusal film

  30. Sterilization Room • The sterilization room (or central processing area) should be divided into sections for: • Receiving, cleaning and decontamination; • Preparation and packaging; • Sterilization; and • Storage.
