The Gantry has several important elements that will be explored throughout the training. Further optional hardware components are the integrated injector arm: It is used to mount a dedicated injector in the examination room and to place the injector in a position that is convenient for you. the X-ray foot switch: with which you can trigger scanning as an alternative to using the Start key. and several accessories, which assist you during myNeedle Guide interventions in the examination room: the i-Joystick, which you can mount on the side rail of the patient table to control the horizontal table movements the tablet dock, which you can use to mount the tablet on the table for in-room control of the intervention workflow and an in‐room monitor which enables you to view and verify the acquired images, including measurements, in the examination room. ? Patient Table This chapter gives you an overview of the characteristics and operating elements of the patient table. Available table versions 227 kg / 500 lbs patient table 307 kg / 676 lbs patient table Multi-purpose table The patient table top is impervious to water. The table, mattress, and accessories are shaped such that they cause, if at all, only minimal artifacts. The markings on the positioning mat indicate the metal-free area of the patient table. ? Patient Table Audio Filename: somatom_x-ceed_hardware-olt_patient-table_introduction.mp3 Audio Script: This chapter gives you an overview of the characteristics and operating elements of the patient table. There are three table versions available, the 227 kg / 500 lbs patient table, the 307 kg / 676 lbs patient table and the multi-purpose table In general, the patient table top is impervious to water. The table, mattress, and accessories are shaped such that they cause, if at all, only minimal artifacts. The markings on the positioning mat indicate the metal-free area of the patient table. Learn more about the features and details of the patient tables on the following pages. ? Overview 227 kg / 500 lbs patient table Combined horizontal and vertical movement Min. height of 53.9 cm / 21.2” Max. load of 227 kg / 500 lbs 307 kg / 676 lbs patient table Combined horizontal and vertical movement Min. height of 56.8 cm / 22.4” Max. load of 307 kg / 676 lbs Multi-purpose table Independent horizontal and vertical movement Min. height of 43.2 cm / 17” Max. load of 307 kg / 676 lbs Interface for i-Joystick and tablet dock Overview Audio Filename: somatom_x-ceed_hardware-olt_patient-table_overview.mp3 Audio Script: All tables can be moved horizontally and vertically. To do this, they use different height adjustment mechanisms. The 227 kg and the 307 kg patient table work on the cobra principle: On raising, the table top and the patient move toward the gantry. On lowering, the table top and the patient move away from the gantry. On the multi-purpose table, the horizontal table movement is independent of the vertical table movement. You can activate the Move Table Top Only mode to increase the space between the table base and the gantry, for example, to position a C-arm device. This also increases the possible tilt range of the gantry to 30°. If the Move Table Top Only mode is activated, you can move the table top into and out of the gantry while the table top support is fully retracted. The multi-purpose table can be lowered to a minimum table height of 43.2 cm (17”), which is more than 10 cm, or 4”, lower than the other tables. The tables differ in their maximum load in the center, which is 227 kg (500 lbs) for the 227 kg patient table and 307kg (676 lbs) for the 307 kg patient table and for the multi-purpose table. The multi-purpose table has an interface for the i-Joystick and the tablet dock on both sides of the table. ? Storage Box and Side Rail The storage box and the side rail are optional. The side rail also has two options: A long rail and a short rail. You can choose to attach these optional parts along one side or both sides of the patient table.
