Insertion and removal of the face shield

The face shield is used to keep the patient's face or ear lobes out of the X-
ray beam during exposure.
Insertion
Install or remove the face shield with a single horizontal movement along
the grooves (left image below). Accidental pinching of the patient during
the auto release of the compression paddle or some other situation is
prevented as the face shield moves upwards from the face shield holder
and away from the patient (right image below). If the face shield has come
off in such, or some other situation, insert it diagonally back to the holder.
