iFIX Product Line Instructions for Use
Intended Use
The iFIX Product Line is a non-sterile product,
intended for patient stabilization over a short
period of time, during invasive and non-
invasive procedures, by securing the position
of
the patient’s anatomy with intact skin outside
the sterile field.
Description
iFIX is a patient stabilization system, indicated
for medical procedures during which the
patient is required to maintain a specific
position over a short period of time. The
stretchy fleece is intended for single patient
use and, as a single use component, lowers
the risk of cross-contamination. It contours to
the patient’s anatomy and secures them in the
desired position through its connection to the
reusable iFIX anchor products. Depending on
the table design, an iFIX Patch that adheres to
the table surface, an iFIX Slot Adapter that
slides into the channels, or an iFIX Patch
Adapter which connects to standard hook
fasteners can be chosen. The micro anchors of
the iFIX Patches and Adapters strongly secure
the iFIX Fleece to ensure optimal patient
stabilization and minimizing motion artifacts.
Warnings and Precautions
Warning:
The system may only be used by
medical professionals.
Warning:
iFIX Fleece and iFIX Head Mask
are products for single patient use only. Do
not reuse iFIX Fleece and iFIX Head Masks.
