NeuroBlate® System Instructions for Use

80469 Rev D – Nov 16, 2018

Attachment Method 1– AtamA Attachment Interface

Ensure AtamA patient board is fully installed and secure on the MRI table.

Slide the arm ends (furthest away from the interface platform) into the IP Arm interface

completely until the “stop rings” touch the IP arm interface. (

Note:

A thumb screw is

provided on each side to lock the arms in place. Do not over tighten these screws as

they may damage the arm.)

Figure 8.41: Interface Platform (IP) to AtamA Connection

WARNING:

Do NOT lower the MRI table after the IP is attached to the AtamA Board. Doing

so may lead to patient injury or equipment damage.
