Patient extending handle
The patient extending handle helps the patient to remain still during exposures in lateral positions.
On one side of the Bucky there is a slot for inserting the patient extending handle, into which the
handle can be inserted at a 0° or 90° angle.
NOTE
When positioning the patient in front of the wall stand column, the operator should
instruct the patient to use the patient extending handle.
WARNING!
If the Bucky is lowered with an inserted patient extending handle at a 90°
angle, it could hit the patient on the head. If the Bucky height is adjusted for
large patients, remove the patient extending handle to avoid collision with
the ceiling. The patient extending handle is only suitable for weightless
patient positioning and not as a handle for load support.
Move the X-ray unit to the required position before positioning the patient.
