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).
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.
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 Indication and contraindication
Indication
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.
Contraindication
No contraindications are known to date provided that
the articulator is used strictly according to the
Operating Instructions.

4.2 Assembly and initial set-up
Incline support holder
The incline support holder enables ergonomic handling of the
articulator. If mounted, it maintains the articulator at approx. a
45° angle. This position permits a superb overview of the model
mounted in the articulator.
Insert the incline support holder (7.2) into the holding device (7.1)
for the incline support holder. If necessary, the incline support
holder can be removed from the apparatus.
Secure the base block (33) to the articulator by means of the GI
knurled screw (2.1).
5.1 Centric position
The Stratos 300 features a precise centric locking system that can
be activated in the following positions:
5.1.1 Centric fixation (4.1) open
This position permits the simulation of jaw movements.
If the rubber bands (4.2) are removed, the two frames can be
separated.
