of the ORFIT HP PRO SOLUTION. It is used in
combination with special 3 and 5 point HP PRO

immobilisation device. Information on these other
parts and instructions on how to make the masks
can be found in the respective ‘instructions for use’

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
This is a fragile product, please handle with
care. Always place the base plate on a flat
surface. Clear the treatment table of any
debris before positioning the base plate.
Always fix the base plate securely to the
treatment couch before positioning a patient.
More information on how to fix this base plate
to the couch top can be found on our website:
www.orfit.com/en/fixation-devices
When a robotic arm is used to transfer the
table onto a stretcher with the base plate
attached to it, the base plate should be fully
supported at all times. For safety reasons the
base plate cannot hang over the table past the
‘maximum overhang line’ at the level of the
shoulders. Always verify that the base plate is
attached safely to the table before performing
the transfer.
The base plate contains a cut-out which limits
the use of the hand holds. Positions A0 until
A26 are not available.
The carbon fibre base plate is constructed to
be light in weight. When handled roughly, it
may get damaged and fibres may come off.
When this happens, stop using the base plate
to prevent fibres from getting in contact with
the patient’s or user’s skin. Contact your
distributor.
The article number and lot number can be
found on the back of the base plate. They are
mentioned on the bottom side of the plate in
between 2 indexing holes at the edge.
The maximum patient weight is 180 kg / 397
Ibs.
Make sure the patient is never mounting on
the base plate by sitting on his or her knees.
This might damage the base plate.
D.
STORAGE
Always store the product in a safe place to prevent
it from getting damaged. Take care not to damage
the edges of the plate when storing it in an upright
position. Prevent hard objects from falling onto the
plate.
