Coronal isocenter (2): The front edge of the head holder provides a white mark with the indication of the coronal isocenter position of the CT system. The top edge of the low head holder indicates the coronal isocenter position of the CT system. ? 1 2 Head holder – scannable area and isocenter [somatom_on-site_hardware-olt_1_33_icu.wav] Please pay attention to the following instructions when positioning the patient's head on the head holder. The scan target area should be within the scannable range, which is marked with a white line. [3sec. pause] To recognize the sagittal isocenter position and the coronal isocenter position use the following references. The sagittal isocenter position is the middle of the head holder. The front edge of the head holder provides a white mark indicating the coronal isocenter position of the CT system. On the low head holder, the top edge indicates the coronal isocenter position of the CT system. Depending on the patient's load on the head holder, the coronal isocenter indication may deviate from the CT system isocenter. For further information, please refer to the SOMATOM On.site Instructions for Use. ? Parking area Requirements: Minimum parking spot should be: 1.60 m / 2.00 m / 1.00 m (h/w/d) 5.25 ft / 6.56 ft / 3.28 ft (h/w/d) 100/240-VAC power socket for permanent battery charging. Ethernet-LAN socket and/or secure access point for WiFi. ICU variant 1 1 2 2 1 Select step 2 to continue. 3 3 Parking area and service area [somatom_on-site_hardware-olt_1_34_icu01.wav] It is important to ensure that the parking area for standby times meets specific requirements. Please take some time to review these requirements. [somatom_on-site_hardware-olt_1_34_icu02.wav] Specific requirements also apply to facilitate maintenance and servicing of the scanner. Requirements: A minimum service clearance of 700 mm around the CT system. A separate room must be provided for maintenance and servicing. The possibility of triggering radiation and the establishment of a controlled area at this location must be given. A radiation-protected room is preferable. In special service cases, test scans must be performed without the shielding system covers. Without the shielding system covers, the stray radiation is much higher. In this case, special protective measures must be taken into account. It is recommended to use a radiation-protected room (e.g. CT room, AX room). 1 1 2 2 3 Service area ICU variant ? Parking area Requirements: Structure and composition of the floor must be appropriate for the total weight of the system. Protection against collision with other mobile equipment (beds, cots, containers, etc.). Protection against unauthorized access (if possible, away from public traffic areas). ICU variant 2 Select step 3 to continue. Chapter 4 Accessories ? Chapter 4: Accessories [somatom_on-site_hardware-olt_1_35.wav] Welcome to the fourth and final chapter, where we will discuss accessories for the SOMATOM On.site. In this section, we will take a closer look at different positioning aids, such as straps and cushions, and explore their specific applications. Positioning aids There are several positioning aids like straps and cushions available to position the patient safely and comfortably. Select the tab arrows to view available straps and cushions. Chin support strap Forehead support strap Shoulder board strap Flat cushion Pads ? Straps Cushions Positioning aids [somatom_on-site_hardware-olt_1_36.wav] There are several positioning aids like straps and cushions available to position the patient safely and comfortably. Use the chin support strap to position and immobilize the patient's head or jaw more effectively. Use the forehead support straps to immobilize the head in the head holder. They restrain the head in a stable position to avoid motion artifacts. Use one or several shoulder board straps to position and immobilize the patient, depending on the requirement, such as mobility or cooperation. Flat cushions are used for comfortable positioning of the patient's head in a head support. And pads are typically used for lateral immobilization of the patient's head in a head holder. Please note that the images shown here are only examples. The appearance and availability of the components depend on your system configuration.
