7.3 EXECUTION OF THE CEPH EXAM
• Once the patient is correctly positioned, press “O position button” exam button.
• The green status indicator will be ON and the U-arm will reach the start position.
• Ask the patient to stay still during the whole exposure.
• Go out from the room to start exam; do not forget to observe the applicable radiation safety procedure.
• Start the CEPH exam by pressing the X-ray emission switch on the X-MIND trium remote control. During this stage, the
device emits X-rays; the X-ray emission LED on the control panel and the X-ray exposure LED on the X-MIND trium remote
control will light up.
A = X-ray emission switch
B = X-ray emission LED
· Keep the switch pressed for the whole duration of the exam until the CEPH detector sliding group stops. If the switch is
released early, the X-ray emission and the carriage movements will be stopped and the exam is irremediably interrupted
(“dead man” exposure mode); in this case, the device must be reset and the patient positioning
redone.
CAUTION :
Monitor the patient throughout the entire exposure. In the event of emergency, release the X-ray exposure switch to stop the CEPH
detector sliding group shift and X-ray emission.
In the event that the sliding group shifts and/or X-ray emission doesn’t stop, press the remote emergency switch.
