5.1.2.4.5 Positioning the patient
The patient is positioned on the unit while standing. Positioning in the
seat is also possible without issue.
CAUTION
The height adjustment motor starts slowly and then increases its
speed.
A patient positioned in the unit may be injured by moving parts.
➢ Monitor the patient and the movement of the unit during height
adjustment. To make minor corrections, press and immediately
release the keys. Release the button immediately in the event of
involuntary contact between patient and device.
CAUTION
Hazard due to laser light.
Patients and users can be blinded by the laser light localizer.
➢ Prior to activating the laser light localizers, the patient must be
asked to shut their eyes.
➢ Do not stare directly into the laser beam. Make sure that the laser
beam does not meet the eyes of the patient.
➢ A distance of at least 10 cm must be maintained between the eye
and the laser.
CAUTION
Reduced image quality
The image quality is limited by metal or other radiopaque materials
located in the patient's mouth and in its vicinity.
➢ Ask the patient to take off all metallic objects such as glasses and
jewelry in the head and neck area as well as all removable dental
prostheses. The tray in front of the control mirror is used for
depositing jewelry.
Tip: As long as a height adjustment key is pressed, the digital display
shows a reference value for the height setting which is saved in the
additional information area of the Sidexis software.
