Description
The
Kodak X-Omatic IDENTIFICATION CAMERA, MODELS 4, 4L, and 4SL (hereafter referred to as the ID
CAMERA), records patient identification data onto x-ray film in lighttight cassettes.
The camera provides:
• Dual lenses for use with C-1 and C-1N windows for MODELS 4 and 4L
• Excellent image quality with high-quality lenses
• Operation in normal room illumination
• The exact time and date of the exposure recorded on the film with a variety of customized date and time formats
available
• The serial number of the camera is recorded on the film for all models and lens positions except the C-1N lens
position in the MODEL 4L.
• Choice of both anterior-posterior and posterior-anterior imaging
• MODEL 4 records patient data on the upper corner of the film
• MODELS 4L and 4SL record patient data on the lower corner of the film
When you insert a CASSETTE correctly into the SLOT above the BASE, and a patient ID CARD is in either the P-
A or A-P SLOT, the camera automatically:
[1] Actuates a mechanical ARM to open a WINDOW in the CASSETTE.
[2] Illuminates the LAMP to record the identification data, time, and date on the film.
[3] Closes the WINDOW in the CASSETTE.
This entire operation takes approximately 2 seconds.
