A. GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
The products referred to in these instructions are medical
devices, used for patient positioning and immobilisation in
radiation therapy.
B. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This carbon fibre laminate BASE PLATE, used for the
treatment of both children and adults, is the basic element
of "THE TOTAL AIO SOLUTION® TREATMENT
PACKAGE”. It is used in combination with THE AIO
SOLUTION® CUSHIONS, the RAYCAST® HIGH
PRECISION HEAD SUPPORTS and BLOCKS &
WEDGES, and with the EFFICAST® PRE-CUTS to form a
reproducible patient positioning and immobilisation device.
Information on these other parts can be found in the
respective ‘instructions for use’.
C. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
This is a fragile product, please handle with care. Always
place the base plate on a flat surface.
Always fix the base plate securely to the treatment couch
before positioning a patient. More information on how to fix
this base plate to a couch top can be found on our website
http://www.orfit.com/en/fixation-devices/.
If the base plate is used in overhang over the couch a
Table Fix (art. no. 35744/6) or iBeam couch fixation (art. no.
32813) needs to be used at the caudal end to secure the
base plate to the couch top. This prevents the base plate
from falling off the table when the patient moves.
The CFL base plate is constructed to be light in weight.
When handled roughly, it may get damaged and fibres may
come off. When this happens, stop using the base plate to
prevent fibres from getting in contact with the patient’s or
user’s skin. Contact your distributor.
D. STORAGE
Always store the product in a safe place to prevent it from
getting damaged. Take care not to damage the edges of
the plate when storing it in an upright position. Prevent hard
objects from falling onto the plate.
Store the base plate between +10°C (50°F) and 40°C
(122°F).
E. PROPERTIES
E.1. Physical Properties
Dimensions: L 1350 mm x W 544 mm x H 30 mm
Weight : 3,630 kg
E.2. Mechanical Properties
Bending:
The bending (sag) Δ Lw of the AIO base plate (measured
between the two positioning holes of the head support, at
323 mm from the ‘maximum overhang line) can be
calculated using the next equation:
Δ Lw = 0,07695W + 0,04889, where
Δ Lw is the displacement of the plate (mm)
W is the vertical force (weight), exerted at the measuring
point (kg)
SD: ± 0,017 mm
