How to fix:

  • Make sure there is no blood
  • Make sure there is no saliva
  • Make sure the sleeve is cleaned (free of smudges/oily fingerprints)
  • Make sure there are no obstacles (tongue, mirror, gloves ....)

-> This may occur because of an inadequate scanning technique

How to fix:

  • Start over. A fresh start is often the best way to get data
  • Use the cleaning tools to delete double surfaces, then rescan with the proper scanning technique

Loss of Focus or Slow scanning


For any complaint relative to the loss of Focus or Slow scanning, make sure to perform an Integrity Check by following the steps of the IFU: https://ifu.dentalwings.com/ifu/vivo/STS75-2563%2029-0100%20Dental%20Wings%20IO%20IFU%20(v4.4)%20(ID%2020284).pdf (page 37)

If the Integrity Check fails, please refer to https://dwos.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1082-virtuo-vivo-hardware-software-troubleshooting



If the Integrity Check passes successfully, continue the following recommendation:


-> This may occur when scanning distance is not respected

How to fix:

To improve scan speed, scan close to the target, at no more than 10mm. It makes it easier for the system to quickly capture data required from the start position.


-> This may occur when the external environment is too bright

Chair lights, ceiling lights, and windows next to the chair reflect from the tooth surface, creating interferences that slow down the scanning process or dazzle the camera causing a loss of focus.

How to fix:

  • Direct light such as chair light, head-mounted light, ceiling light, and all external lights above the patient’s head should be avoided and turned off and curtains on windows should be closed.

-> This may occur because the sleeve is dirty

How to fix:

  • Make sure the sleeve has no saliva, no blood, no condensation, free of smudges/oily fingerprints.

-> This may occur because the sleeve is no longer usable

Sleeves are consumables, they are rated to be good for up to 250 uses. After that, older sleeves can have a bad impact on accuracy and quality, therefore they need to be replaced.

We strongly recommend keeping a record of the cycles using our Virtuo Vivo - Tracking Sheet for Sleeve Cycles We are confident that once these elements are controlled, you will have a better experience and results using our product.
