stop using the base plate to prevent fibres from getting in
contact with the patient’s or user’s skin. Contact your
distributor.

damaged or falling onto other objects. 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.
Store the base plate b10°C (50°F) and 40°C (122°F).

F.2. Dosimetric Properties
The general attenuation factor (± 0,15 %) for the Base Plates is as
follows:
6 Mv
1.4 %
15 Mv
1.2 %
Skin build-up

O equiv.
But the Base Plate has some areas where higher density (±1.4
g/mm³) materials have been used to reinforce some parts like
screw inserts, grip pole inserts and the leg separator insert. The
following drawing shows these areas and below the
corresponding attenuation factors at 6MV are listed.
1)
fixation screw inserts Ø 1 cm: 8-10 %
2)
grip pole inserts:
3)
fixation screw inserts (blocks of 30x30x30mm): 8-10 %
4)
table fix tunnel (runs across the base plate): 4-5 %
5)
edge of pelvic slots: 8-10 %
Note:
The picture below shows base plate 32301 instead of
32301/HX and 32301/HX/PED which have a removable bottom
plate.
