Universal Integrator
The Universal Integrator is provided with CDR Dicom for Windows versions 3.5 through 5.14 at no charge for the customer. Customers who are using the Universal Integrator will need to work with Apteryx, the manufacturer of the bridge, to receive data grabber and data drill updates as there is now an annual fee customers are charged to receive these updates.
The Universal Integrator will launch the Schick CDR Dicom for Windows software from a specific screen within Dentrix, typically the Dentrix Patient Chart. If the patient already exists within CDR Dicom for Windows a window will appear prompting for the end-user to either Create a New Exam or Show History. If the patient doesn't exist within CDR Dicom for Windows, the end-user will be prompted to select a New Exam.
The Schick CDR Dicom for Windows software and Universal Integrator are both supported by the Patterson Technology Center.

For new customers, it is best to use the Universal Integrator. If a customer already has an established database with Dentrix and CDR Dicom for Windows, it is best to use a bridge that is available through Dentrix to avoid duplicate patients being created in CDR Dicom software.

- In Device Manager, locate the device that you want to find the driver version number of.Note: Work through the hardware categories by clicking the > icon. You’ll find the specific hardware device you’re looking for under one of these major hardware categories.
- After finding the hardware device you’re looking for, right click on the device’s name or icon and click on Properties.
- In the Properties window for the device, click the Driver tab.
- On the Driver tab, look for Driver Version among the other statistics about the driver. It will be located above the several buttons.Next to Driver Version you’ll see the version number of the currently installed driver for this device. This is what you’re after.Important: Be sure to take note of the Driver Provider as well.
