Safety Notes
Installation of the device changes the height of the treatment table, similar to standard
clinical set ups when immobilizing the patient by using a vacuum cushion, a breast board
or an Anti-Skid Mat or when applying other positioning devices. Therefore it is not
recommended to set up patient treatment using solely the displayed value for the vertical
couch position, but verify the correct position using e.g. the room lasers or X-Ray imaging.
For certain tilt angles, it may be necessary to overwrite details of the vertical treatment
table position in your Record & Verify system. In such cases, the tolerance tables must be
adapted accordingly.
Installation, service and maintenance shall only be performed by Brainlab service staff
and/or authorized service partners.
Emergency OFF
The device is integrated into the Emergency-Off (EMO) system of the Vero linac via the patient
positioning system ExacTrac Vero.
On activation of the Emergency-Off (EMO) of the Vero, Robotics Vero shuts down its movement
immediately.
The Emergency-Off system is not part of Robotics Vero but must be provided by the facility
operator.
The device is connected to the Emergency Off system of the linac. In case of emergency,
activate the Emergency Off switch(es) of the linac to STOP Robotics Vero movement.
