Page: 25 / 31

Egg Medical® warrants that the Egg Nest XR™ is free from any defects in manufacture or
workmanship under normal use and service for a period of one year. If a Product fails to meet
warranty, Egg Medical® would either replace the defective Product or refund the purchase price.
Can the Egg Nest XR
™
be moved from table to table?
Yes, the Egg Nest XR™ can be moved on and off the x-ray table. First, remove the shielding
attachments (the hanging Flex Shields, Pillow shield, the Arm Boards, Workbench and the Clear
Spot Shield). Then lift or slide the
Egg Nest XR™ onto a cart with sufficient weight capacity (45
lbs.). It is important to lift the Egg Nest XR™ near the middle. The easiest method is to lift by
both the head end of the rail and the arm supports.
How can I use the STARBoard ™ products with the Egg Nest XR ™ ?
The STARBoard ™ products by Adepto ™ are not designed to function with the Egg Nest XR™ . It is
possible to use them by placing the stabilizing piece (that normally fits under the patient
mattress) under the patient, usually wrapped in a with a sheet for comfort. The STARBoard
™
positioning accessories will sit about 2-4 inches higher with respect to the patient. You should
try the set-up before proceeding to sterile draping.
Can a RadPad ™ be used with the Egg Nest XR ™ ?
Yes, the Egg Nest XR™ is compatible with other shielding materials. However, the RadPad ™ does
not provide additional shielding to the Egg Nest XR™ alone because the Egg Nest XR™ already has
Flip shields that provide four times the shielding present in the RadPad ™ . And, the Egg Nest XR™
is a one-time purchase.
What is the EggNest XR™ Story?
The Egg Nest XR™ was developed by two interventional cardiologists and an engineer. One of the
interventionalists had practiced 30 years and knew several colleagues with hematologic
radiation-related cancers from hospital exposures. The other interventionalist was early in his
career and concerned about how much radiation exposure he was facing. He used extensive
protection but found it cumbersome and difficult to work around. The engineer helped develop a
system that was effective and functional, blending into the workflow and protecting everyone in
the room. They spent four years understanding scatter radiation patterns in the Cath Lab,
developing new materials, and perfecting the design. The result was the most comprehensive,
practical radiation protection system ever developed for x-ray laboratories.
