Cephalo Exposures
(4) Patient Positioning
1. Use the Up or Down key to raise or lower the craniostat
match the patient’s height. Release the key to stop the
craniostat moving.
Usage Note
♦ The craniostat Up and Down keys will not work if the unit
is not set for cephalo and the Ready key has not been
pressed to turn the X-ray head in the cephalo direction.
♦ The over current protection circuit could be activated after
3 seconds for reasons such as an excessive load or the
failure to insert the cassette. The craniostat will stop and
an audible warning signal will sound. The unit will stop
working and one of the following messages will appear in
the display on the frame:
LIFT OVERLOAD! PROTECTOR ACTIVE
LIFT OVERTIME! PROTECTOR ACTIVE
To restore normal working order, press any one of the
occlusal type keys underneath the display on the patient
frame.
♦ Always use the Up and Down Keys to move the craniostat.
Never try to force it; this would damage it.
Keep your fingers away from moving parts, gaps
between the cassette and its holder and craniostat
components, and holes in the support column.
2. Grip the base of the ear rod plates and rotate the craniostat
to its Lateral position.
The nasion plate must be at the front; a proper exposure
cannot be made if it is reversed.
Usage Note
♦ Rotate the craniostat with the nasion plate is down and
inside.
Turning the craniostat roughly could cause it to hit the
cassette holder and damage it.
♦ To move the nasion plate, grip the base of its arm.
Otherwise this could be damaged.
