3. Angle
Straighten up. No cone-cuts. No distortion.

Four things to know
The shield is built in
A back-scatter shield with 0.3 mm lead-equivalent protection is part of the unit.
It needs a critical exam

Your RPA sets the rules
Your Radiation Protection Adviser will tell you how to use a handheld unit in your practice. Follow their local rules.

Common questions
Eighteeth Hyperlight M questions answered
How much does the Eighteeth Hyperlight M cost in the UK?
£1,800 + VAT (£2,160 inc. VAT) from 360 Visualise. With a critical examination by our Radiation Protection Adviser it is £2,050 + VAT (£2,460 inc. VAT).
What is a critical exam and why do I need one?
A critical examination is a legal requirement under IRR17 before a new X-ray unit is used on patients. It checks that the equipment and its safety features work as they should. Add ours to your order for £250 + VAT, or use your own Radiation Protection Adviser.
Which sensors does it work with?
The Helios AiM sheath fits standard size 1 and size 2 intraoral sensors. It clips on with magnets and can be wiped clean and used again. Call us on 01943 601222 and we’ll check your sensor before you order.
How does the aiming guide work?
The sheath has small magnetic markers. The Hyperlight M detects them and works out where the sensor is. The screen then guides you: adjust the distance, centre the beam, correct the angle, and expose.
How long does the battery last?
A full charge is rated for more than 300 exposures. The unit charges on its stand, and a full charge takes about two hours.
Can I use it for domiciliary visits?
It is battery powered and portable, so it suits visits away from the practice. Ask your Radiation Protection Adviser first. You must meet IRR17 wherever you use it.
What happens after I order?
Order before 3pm and we send it the next working day. If you chose our critical exam, our Radiation Protection Adviser contacts you after delivery to arrange a visit. You can use the unit on patients once the exam is signed off.
What warranty does it come with?
A 1-year manufacturer’s warranty, with phone support from our UK team.
Eighteeth Hyperlight M. £1,800 + VAT. In stock.
One handheld X-ray for every surgery. Order before 3pm for next working day dispatch.
