2. Safety First
This chapter is particularly important for staff who
work with the apparatus or who have to carry out
maintenance or repair work.
2.1 Field of application
The Stratos 300 must only be used for the indications
stipulated in Chapter 3. Further instructions to assure
the proper use of the Stratos 300 articulator are as
follows:
– The instructions, regulations and notes in these
Operating Instructions must be observed.
– The unit must be properly maintained
(see Chapter 7).
3. Product Description
3.1 Functional description
The Stratos 300 is an individually adjustable articulator built according to the Camper's plane (CP).
The device is suitable to simulate different human jaw movements. The protrusion angle and the Bennett angle
can be set individually.
Furthermore, a retrusive movement of 35° as well as an "immediate side shift" are integrated in the Stratos 300.
An activable centric locking system permits the articulator to be set to a precise, reproducible initial set
position and facilitates separation and connection of the upper and lower frames. Even when the centric lock is
open, the upper and lower frames are still connected. Only after removing the centric rubber bands from their
retainers can the two parts be separated.
The locating holes for transferbows, automatic centric return and a non-slip base are all standard equipment.
In addition, the Stratos 300 features a dirt-and-wear-resistant finish.
A wide range of accessories permits the Stratos 300 to meet the specific needs and requirements of every
user.
Therefore, the apparatus can be used in the field of removable as well as fixed denture prosthetics.
3.2 Areas of application and limitation of use
Areas of application
The articulator is suitable for the spatial fixation of models for lab-fabricated reconstructions. The basic
equipment permits simulation of average movement patterns of the human temporomandibular joint.
Limitation of use
No limitation of use is known to date provided that the articulator is used strictly according to the
Operating Instructions.
2.2 Health and safety instructions
If the centric
rubber bands
are removed
from their retainers and
the centric fixation lock
is open, the upper and
lower frames may be
accidentally separated.
Risk of crushing
between centric
locking catch
and incline
support.
