Prone/Stereotactic Setup (90-degree)

The 163-DIG is suitable for measuring compression force for a wide range of patient setup

orientations. For prone or stereotactic systems that compress at 90-degrees, the 163-DIG can be

used on its side. Optionally, the Display Panel can be removed. Refer to the Detachable Display

Panel on page 5 for more information.

To collect measurements in 90-degree orientation:

Power up and zero the 163-DIG flat and stable surface.

Rotate the 163-DIG onto its narrow side on a flat and stable surface and zero the scale.

Bring the 163-DIG to the Mammography system and very carefully apply pressure to clamp the

scale between the compression paddle and detector.

WARNING: Only let go after the scale has pressure (~10 lbs). Damage from

dropping the Scale is not covered by warranty.

Perform measurements per local Quality Standard (ACR, EUREF, etc.)

Place hands under 163-DIG at all times when compression force is released.
