Operating Instructions Orthophos SL 2D / 3D
5.1.2.5.7
Positioning the patient
The patient is positioned on the unit while standing. Positioning in the seat
is also possible without issue.
This is the case, for example, if the patient is shorter than approx. 93 cm
or taller than 197 cm. In this case, you position the patient on a fixed and
height-adjustable chair with a short backrest.
Tip: Reference values are shown for the height and forehead support
settings, which are saved for further exposures in the additional
information area of the Sidexis software.
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.
CAUTION
The light localizer consists of one Class 1 laser.
Patients and users can be blinded by the laser light localizer.
➢ 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.
IMPORTANT
The image quality of volume exposures is limited by metal or other
radiopaque materials located in the patient’s mouth.
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.
