Placing the Head Ring Assembly on the Patient
Note
Placing the head ring assembly is easier if multiple people perform the procedure.
1. The first person should hold the head ring in the
desired position over the patient's head.
2. The second person may arrange the ear bars so that
the rounded end of each bar rests comfortably in
the patient's outer ear.
Note
Use the index marks on each ear bar to help
center the assembly.
Note
Fit the head ring to the patient's skull while
the patient is in a sitting position.
3. Finger-tighten nylon thumb screw on each support bracket to secure the ear bars.
Caution: To reduce patient discomfort, do not allow the weight of the head ring
assembly to rest on the ear bars.
Caution: Use of the Velcro strap (GTCSVS) helps position the head ring assembly
and take the weight off the ear bars. For more information on this strap, see
page 15.
