Instructions for use
1. Use the buttons on the right of the screen to select the patient entry
position.
•
Select this button to move the C-arm to the back, away from the
patient positioning area. This full view position allows you to monitor
and adjust the patient's position freely from all directions.
•
Select this button to position the C-arm around the patient support
table. This is the traditional closed patient entry position.
NOTE
If needed, the full view position (top button) can be disabled (Settings
> User > 1300 Operational settings > 1330 Patient positioning > Side
entry OFF). This might be necessary if there is no space for the C-arm to
move back.
1. Guide the patient to the X-ray unit.
The patient can sit or stand during the exposure.
