Adjusting Positioning Lasers
Listed below are instructions on adjusting the positioning lasers on a ProOne.
- To adjust the light beam angle, rotate the lens assembly.
- To adjust the light beam vertical position, first loosen the fastening screw of the light assembly and then turn the assembly.
NOTE: For Layer Light, access to the fastening screw is blocked by the sensor frame. The layer light assembly can be turned without loosening the fastening screw.
- To focus the light beam, adjust the depth of the lens assembly.
Adjusting the Layer Light Position
- Attach the ball phantom.
- On the Patient Support Calibration (T3430) screen, touch the Go button in the field Drive C-arm to Layer 0. This will move the C-arm to the position where the layer light beam has to hit the reference line on the ball phantom support plate (see figure below). The three patient positioning lights will be automatically switched on.
- Carefully adjust the position of the layer light by using a pair of pliers or a similar tool.
Adjusting the Midsagittal Plane Light Position
- If the patient positioning lights are not already on, touch either of the target position arrows on the control panel main display to switch them on. The main display is the display that is shown when the X-ray unit is switched on.
Adjusting the Frankfort Plane Light Position
NOTE: The Frankfort Plane Light is positioned in the moving column.
- Attach the Frankfort Plane alignment tool to the ball phantom as shown below. The Frankfort Plane alignment tool is marked with two horizontal reference lines.
- If the patient positioning lights are not already on, touch either of the target position arrows on the control panel main display screen to switch them on. The main display is the display that is shown when the X-ray unit is switched on.
- To adjust the position of the light beam, first open the column front panel. Then, carefully adjust the position of the light by using a pair of pliers or a similar tool.
Next Steps
After completing the ProOne Positioning Laser adjustments, you'll need to calibrate the ProOne sensor. As these lasers determine the positioning of the x-ray, they will not line up with the old calibration files.
For assistance in calibrating the ProOne sensor, see ProOne Calibration .
