Operating Instructions Orthophos SL 2D / 3D
5.1.2.4.7.3
Positioning with blue bite block or the universal bite block.
For maxillary exposures with the full volume, the patient should be
positioned lower with the blue bite block or universal bite block in the
position marked blue; this also applies to exposures taken in the
temporomandibular, sinus and orbital regions. The proportional volume in
the sinus region is thus greater.
More secure positioning is possible with the universal bite block due to
the wider bite area. The bite block foam is equally suitable for patients
without anterior teeth.
✔
The blue bite block or the universal bite block and the
temporomandibular joint supports with contact pads are inserted into
the unit.
✔
The relevant hygienic protective sleeves are pulled over the
accessories.
1. Guide the patient in front of the control mirror.
2. Set the unit height using the up A and down B keys.
CAUTION! The height adjustment motor starts slowly and then
increases its speed.
Press and hold down the button until the desired height is reached.
The unit movement is accompanied by a beep.
Release the height-adjustment buttons once the bite block is at the
same height as that of the patient's anterior teeth.
3. Instruct the patient to hold the handles with both hands and bite into
the bite block.
ª
The patient's anterior teeth are positioned in the indentation in the
bite block. If necessary, push the lower anterior teeth forwards
until they reach a stop.
4. Swivel the control mirror outwards. Press the left recess on the
touchbar D.
ª
You can see the patient in the control mirror.
5. Switch on the light localizer F.
CAUTION! Risk of dazzle
ª
Depending on a preselected program and collimation, the laser
lines show the upper and lower edges of the volume on the
patient's head. The desired exposure area must be located
between the two horizontal laser lines.
To switch off the light localizer, press the key again. It switches
off automatically after approx. 100 seconds.
