8.10.5 Carrying out the second exposure
Warning
During X-rays emission, protection procedures for the operator and personnel
in the area must comply with local regulations. In all cases, it is recommended
that only the patient and operator are present in the room during the emission
of X-rays. If the operator is not protected by suitable screens, he must stand at
least 2 meters away from the emission of the rays (Figure 1).
Warning
Using the laser centring devices, check that the system is still aligned with the
patient's sagittal medial plane.
1. Ensure that the equipment's indicator light "Ready for X-rays" (4 - Figure 10) comes
on, press the X-ray button for the entire duration of the exposure, checking the
simultaneous working of the "X-rays emission" indicator (both on the equipment
keyboard and GUI) and the acoustic ray signal.
The Digital Acquisition System will, in the meantime, process the image.
At the end of the acquisition, the GUI will be replaced by the acquired image.
Note
X-MIND prime assumes that the digital sensor is ready: if this is not the case,
the blue light indicator of "Computer connection" status (5 - Figure 10) start
blinking slowly.
Note
The rotation of the arm and the emission of the X-rays will start with a delay of
about 3 seconds from when the X-ray button is pressed. As the X-ray button is
a "dead man’s switch", it must be kept pressed down until the end of the
exposure. During the X-ray, the emission of rays in correspondence with the
central part of the dental arch is suspended; the relative signals (acoustic and
visual) are also suspended.
Warning
Since the X-ray button is a "dead man's switch", its release before the end of
the exposure, immediately stops the X-ray emission and the arm rotation.
Error 362 or Error 760 will be displayed
.
Warning
In case of exam interruption, let the patient exit the unit, follow the instruction
on the GUI then press >O< to carry out the axis reset
.
2. Once the exposure is completed, the system will rotate back. When it has completed
this movement, free the patient from the positioning device.
3.
Press the "Patient Entrance" key (6 - Figure 10). The equipment will reposition itself
in the starting position.
Warning
After each exam, clean the TMJ positioner, the handles and the temple clasps
group thoroughly and change the protective sleeve if used.
4.
Follow instruction on paragraph 8.8.5 to perform image processing function.
