Panorama Exposures
(6) Patient Egress and Image Transmission
1. <Patient Egress>
After the exposure, the arm will automatically go to the
patient egress position, 90 degrees.
Open the temple stabilizers all the way up and guide the
patient away from the unit. Then close the stabilizers all the
way.
• Never use excessive force to move the patient away;
this could injure the patient or damage the stabilizers.
• Take care that the stabilizers do not strike the patient
in the eye.
* Take the mouthpiece from the patient and throw it away.
2. Press the Ready key on the arm operation panel or the
patient frame to automatically move the arm to the patient
entry position.
The Ready LEDs on the operation panel and the control box
will light up green to show that the unit is ready to make
another panorama exposure.
• Make sure the patient is clear of the unit before
returning the arm to the patient entry position;
otherwise it could hit the patient.
• In case of an emergency when the arm is returning to
the patient entry position, press the emission button,
the Ready key on the operation panel, or the
emergency switch to stop it.
If the arm return operation is performed without closing
the temple stabilizers or without guiding the patient away
from the unit after the exposure, the arm operation panel
will display “Err. 42.”
If you go ahead and press the Ready key without closing
the temple stabilizers or without guiding the patient away
from the unit, the arm will rotate to its start position. This
can cause the arm to strike the temple stabilizers or the
patient.
