- Foot
Pedals.
The control pedals are used to raise and lower the table top and to
free the table top for longitudinal and transverse positioning.
- Bucky
Assembly.
The Bucky assembly is mounted on a carriage beneath the table top.
It contains a Manual Cassette Tray which accepts all standard sizes
of cassette ranging from130 x 180 mm to 350 x 430 mm (5 x 7”to 14 x
17”).
An ionization chamber can be located beneath the Bucky grid to
implement automatic exposure control. This is a optional component.
- Telescopic
Covers.
These covers are assembled in two levels. Their purpose is to cover
the table power supply, and the electronic and mechanical
components located in the table base. This is essential when the table
top is raised or lowered.
- Hand
Grips.
Two hand grips are included with the Proteus XR/a. These serve to
maintain the patients’ hands away from the table top edges and to
give patients a feeling of security. The grips are not intended to
support the weight of patients. For safety reasons the patient
handgrips must be used during all examinations. The grips slide onto
the side rails of the table top. They can be locked in place in any
position along the side rails with the thumbscrews.
- Lock
Buttons.
Two lock buttons are located on both front and back table base. They
are used to inhibit the table up-down and table top movement.
- Emergency
Buttons.
Two emergency buttons are located on both left and right side of the
table. These buttons are used to remove power from the table in an
emergency.
