P.3. Preparing the patient
Qualitative use and creating qualitative photos with the Neck & Decollete accessory start with preparing the client and with giving clear instructions on how to position for qualitative photos of the neck and decollete.
1. Before your client arrives, make sure that the OBSERV accessories are clean and disinfected. Remove the extended lightshade and spray it with an alcohol-based cleaner and let airdry. Clean the decollete rest with an alcohol pad. 2. Ensure the clients skin is free of residue from skincare and cleansers, this will influence the quality of your photos and mask or reduce the visibility of skin concerns. 3. Ask your client to remove all upper body clothing, jewellery and dermal piercings. 4.Use the provided comfort wrap to keep the client comfortable and conceal bra straps. 5. Attach the decollete rest to the OBSERV explaining to your client how to position themselves when photos are captured. Place the décolleté rest on the sternum, between the plexus and the heart. Instruct the patient to keep their arms hanging naturally by their sides. While you are doing this also adjust the mobile stand according to your client’s height. The OBSERV Mobile stand is mandatory to use with the Neck and Decollete Extension kit. 6. Ask your client to pop back out of the OBSERV while you attach the new lightshade to the OBSERV just like the regular lightshade, the extended lightshade allows for the client to stand inside and blocks out all light, then assist your client to pop inside the lightshade, placing them in the desired position for capture mode. 7. Before you start capturing, select the appropriate capture mode from the "hamburger" menu located next to the camera button on the capture screen. Choose "Neck" to activate neck and profile captures, or "Torso" to activate décolleté and back captures. For frontal neck pictures and to capture the left and right profiles. Instruct the patient to hold their breath for 10 seconds during the capturing process. 8.Proceed to capture your clients’ photos and reposition your client when needed, remove the Décolleté rest to capture the 90° profiles and have the patient stand sideways with their arm against the OBSERV. Instruct the patient to hold the mobile stand for stability. Check the photo's quality and accept or capture again.
P.4. Decollete rest
To take images of the neck and decollete you have a new decollete rest. Attach the decollete rest by simply sliding the rest over the mount inside the OBSERV. Slide the rest until it stops and secure it by tightening the screw. The decollete rest is designed to keep the upper body of the client at the same distance from the camera to ensure a correct focal point for obtaining sharp images. Place the decollete rest in the OBSERV when capturing the Neck, Decollete and back in the 0°-degree angle. Remove the rest when capturing the 90° profiles.
P.5. Client positioning
For safety and to minimize accidents, the operator moves the OBSERV towards and away from the client. Instruct the client to remain still throughout the capture process. Place the décolleté rest on the sternum, between the plexus and the heart. Instruct the client to keep their arms hanging naturally by their sides. Remove the Décolleté rest to capture the profiles and have the client stand sideways with their arm against the OBSERV. Instruct the client to hold the mobile stand for stability.
