Tubehead
The Tubehead contains the X-ray tube, high voltage circuit, and Cone. The
Tubehead is shipped already assembled to the Articulating Arm.
There is a small hole in the plastic handle covering the back of the
Tubehead. Under no circumstances should this hole be blocked as it
provides an air vent to allow the Tubehead oil to expand and
contract as the unit is operated.
Articulating Arm
The Articulating Arm provides the articulation support for the Tubehead and the
reach and coverage of the Tubehead to the patient. The Articulating Arm allows
smooth movement for precise positioning and does not drift or vibrate when left in
position.
Horizontal Arm
The Horizontal Arm helps provide the necessary reach for the VetPro DC. The
Horizontal Arm pivots smoothly around a shaft inserted in the top of the Control
Unit. The Horizontal Arm contains an access cover to connect the cable from the
Horizontal Arm to the Control Unit. The Horizontal Arm is available in four lengths,
providing reaches of 56, 66, 76 or 82 inches [142, 167, 193 or 208 cm].
Modular Beam
Limiting Device
[BLD]
The Cone establishes the distance from the X-ray tube to the patient’s skin. It
provides positioning assistance and collimates the X-ray beam to within a defined
circle at its end. The VetPro DC is shipped with the standard 8 inch [20 cm] Cone
attached to the Tubehead. A 12 inch [30 cm] Cone (30-A2200) can be ordered as
an option.
Remote Control
The remote control switch is used to make exposures in addition to or replacing
the use of the exposure button.
Mobile Unit
Installation and
Service
An optional model, the mobile unit provides room to room mobility for dental
radiography. See Appendix A for the installation instructions for the mobile unit.
The VetPro DC Animal Health Dental X-ray System should only be installed and
serviced by approved Midmark dealer personnel. Contact Midmark Corporation
at 800-MIDMARK if you need assistance locating an approved dealer.
