How to Position Your Assistant’s
Instrumentation
The A-dec 500 assistant’s instrumentation is
equipped with either a short or long assistant’s arm
for easy positioning of instrumentation. Both arms
are equipped with a touchpad and holder
assemblies with individual holders for added
positioning.
Short Assistant’s Arm
The short assistant’s arm positions near the
cuspidor or along side the chair back. It adjusts in a
forward, backward, and side-to-side movement for
easy positioning and access to the instrumentation.
A pivot joint located close to the support link,
allows the entire arm to “tip-up,” if forced, to
minimize damage to the equipment if lowered on
to an object.
The arm segment, attached to the touchpad, gives
way downward if forced beyond its normal range
of operation. Simply lift the arm back into place to
reset and continue operation.
Long Assistant’s Arm
The long assistant’s arm has the same features as
the short arm, and can be positioned closer to the
headrest. In addition, this arm accommodates
variable height adjustment for multiple users.
Holder Assembly
The holder assembly rotates completely for
positioning to suit most procedures (see Figure 5).
NOTE:
If you have electric holders, the holder
assembly can be rotated 340 degrees only.
