ACCLIMATIZATION
The next stage of the examination is a six-minute acclimatization,
i.e. regulation and stabilization of breast skin temperature. To do
this, ask the patient to undress from the waist up. Acclimatization
is key if you want to obtain good quality thermographic images
during the examination. Only with a properly conducted
acclimatization can you be sure that the results will be reliable.
To complete the acclimatization process, follow the instructions
displayed on subsequent mobile app screens.
For Braster Pro version Basic you must enter the examination ID (it
can be, e.g. a unique number assigned to the patient) and the
patient's date of birth.
During the acclimatization the patient must answer several
questions. Remember to make sure that the patient answers
truthfully because her answers affect the reliability of the result.

MATRIX SELECTION
At this stage, you need to select the matrix for the examination.
Your Braster device was provided with a set of three matrices. Each
of them works in a different range of temperatures. In order to
produce a high resolution thermographic image that will show the
distribution of temperatures across the patient’s breasts, you will
need to select a matrix before each examination.
To select a matrix, make one application of the Braster device to
the central area of each breast. The mobile app will guide you step
by step through this process.
First place matrix no. 2 in the device (the number of the matrix is
stated on the plastic frame). Follow the instructions displayed on
subsequent screens.
START THE MATRIX SELECTION WITH THE RIGHT BREAST.
