Aligning the patient - with head fixation device
Aligning the patient
● Using the "up" and "down" keys on the control panel, move the X-ray
unit until the centers of the ear plugs are located at the same height
as the patient's outer auditory canals.
The motor movement is accompanied by an acoustic signal.
● Open the headband (C) of the head fixation device until the ear plugs
contact the patient's outer auditory canals.
● Close the swivel arm (H) until it snaps in place.
● The patient should grasp the handles (I) relaxed but securely.
IMPORTANT
For an optimal exposure, the patient should stand up straight and let his
shoulders droop loosely.
● Align the occlusal plane (S) of the patient's head parallel to the
marking line (R) via fine adjustment of the "up" and "down" keys.
IMPORTANT
The height of the X-ray unit must be set so that the occlusal plane is
perfectly horizontal following alignment.
● The correct position for the indication can be set by laterally fixing the
position with the volume control and using the vertical and horizontal
adjustment options.
The inner side (T) of the volume control should be regarded as the
T
volume boundary.
