What to do if Medical Equipment by Gamma indicates no stylus-flag contact after mounting?
- D
  Darrell PachecoAug 15, 2025
  If the Medical Equipment by Gamma indicates no stylus-flag contact after mounting, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure both styli and flags are securely plugged into the CADIAX device. Verify that the right and left measuring sensors are not interchanged and are correctly inserted. Remount the face bow, ensuring styli remain on the flag's black measuring surface during movements. If the flag is soiled, clean it according to the instructions to ensure electrical contact. If the issue persists, a stylus, flag, or the CADIAX device itself may be defective, requiring service.

  If the Medical Equipment by Gamma device is not detected by the recording software and the green LED is unlit, first, ensure the device is properly connected to your computer using a USB port. If the connection is defective, try using another USB port or a different USB cable. If the problem persists, the CADIAX device may be defective and require service.

Why does Medical Equipment by Gamma show strong artifacts in recorded curves?
- M
  michaelhobbsAug 22, 2025
  If the Medical Equipment by Gamma's recorded curves show strong artifacts, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure the measuring flag is clean, as soiling can disrupt electrical contact. Also, verify that the stylus is correctly positioned on the flag's measuring area by remounting the face bow. The issue might also be caused by the "sliding chair effect"; applying a minimal amount of medical petroleum jelly can help, but remember to clean the flag afterward. If these steps don't resolve the problem, the stylus, flag, or CADIAX device may be defective.

What to do if Medical Equipment by Gamma is not detected but LED is lit?

  If the Medical Equipment by Gamma device is not detected by the recording software, but the green LED is lit, try using another USB port or cable to rule out a defective connection. If that doesn't work, the driver software may not be installed correctly. Disconnect the CADIAX device, start the software setup routine, and perform a repair. Restart your computer, reconnect the device, and allow the operating system to finish the configuration before starting the recording software. Alternatively, if your computer is connected to the internet, you can allow Windows Update to install the drivers automatically. If the issue persists, it could be due to a software-related issue or a defective CADIAX device.

How to adjust Medical Equipment by Gamma styli within measuring surface?
- J
  Jason SextonAug 28, 2025
  If, after mounting the Medical Equipment by Gamma, the styli are outside the black measuring surface areas, repeat the writing bow adjustment procedure. Ensure the patient's lower jaw is in the reference position and closed in a centric position. Also, check that the writing bow's holding clamps are firmly tightened on both the clutch shaft and side arms to prevent displacement. Finally, make sure the writing bow is adjusted without tension, especially when removing the axis locators.

How to correct backwards curves on Medical Equipment by Gamma?
- C
  Christian SchneiderSep 4, 2025
  If the recorded curves of the Medical Equipment by Gamma go "backwards" instead of protrusive, it means that the right and left measuring sensors are erroneously interchanged. To fix this, insert the plugs correctly.

Why are Medical Equipment by Gamma recorded curves too short?
- J
  jenkinsloganSep 7, 2025
  If the recorded curves of the Medical Equipment by Gamma are too short on one side, it could be due to a soiled measuring flag; clean it to ensure continuous electrical contact. Alternatively, the stylus may be outside the measuring area, requiring you to remount the face bow. Also, verify that the right or left measuring sensors are correctly connected to the device. If the problem persists, the stylus, flag, or CADIAX device might be defective.

How to fix Medical Equipment by Gamma curves not starting at origin?
- L
  Lori ChoiSep 12, 2025
  If the recorded curves from the Medical Equipment by Gamma do not begin in the coordinate origin, it's likely that the stylus position has changed between setting the reference position and starting the recording. Repeat setting the reference position, and if necessary, repeat this procedure before each recording.
