A.GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
This product is a medical device used for patient positioning and immobilization of several anatomical regions in radiation therapy. This low-density plate can be used during both the simulation and the treatment stage.
This product may only be used in combination with Orfti type immobilization masks.
B. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This carbon fiber laminate BASE PLATE is the basic element of “THE TOTAL AIO SOLUTION TREATMENT PACKAGE”. It is used in combination with THE AIO SOLUTION CUSHIONS, the HIGH PRECISION HEAD SUPPORTS and BLOCKS & WEDGES, and with the Radiotherapy Masks to form a reproducible patient positioning and immobilization device in the field of Radiotherapy.
C. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
This is a fragile product, please handle with care. Always place the base plate on a flat surface. Clear the treatment table of any debris before positioning the base plate. Always fix the base plate securely to the treatment couch before positioning a patient. The CFL base plate is constructed to be light in weight and to have superb dosimetry properties. When handled roughly, it may get damaged and fibers may come off. When this happens, stop using the base plate to prevent fibers 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 or falling onto other objects. 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
X-Ray transmittance: >98.2 (6mv x-ray)
Dosimetric Properties
The general attenuation factor (± 0.15 %) for the Base Plate is as follows:
| 6 Mv | 1.8 % |
| 15 Mv | 1.4 % |
| Skin build-up | 4 mm H2O equiv. |
The Base Plate has areas where higher density (±1.4 g/mm³) materials have been used to reinforce parts like screw inserts, grip pole inserts and the leg separator insert. The drawing on the right of this page shows these areas and below the corresponding attenuation factors at 6MV are listed.
1) fixation screw inserts Ø 1 cm: 8-10 %
2) grip pole inserts:
3) fixation screw inserts (blocks of 30x30x30mm): 8-10 %
4) leg separator insert:
5) table fix tunnel (runs across the base plate): 4-5 %
6) edge of pelvic slots: 8-10 %
