Always make sure the base plates are firmly attached to the
iBEAM® evo couch before positioning a patient.
The maximum allowed load distributed evenly on both
extensions is 40k g/ 88.18 Ibs.
The CFL base plates are constructed to be light in weight and to
have superb dosimetric properties. When handled roughly, they
may get damaged and fibres may come off. When this happens,
stop using the base plates to prevent fibres from getting into
contact with the patient's or user's skin. Periodic checks of the
products should be done to insure the parts are not worn and
require repair or replacement. Do not attempt to make repairs
yourself, but contact your distributor if there are any questions
or concerns.
D. STORAGE
Always store the products in a safe place to prevent them from
getting damaged or falling onto other objects. Take care not to
damage the edges of the plates when storing them in an upright
position. Prevent hard objects from falling onto the plates.
Store the base plates between +10°C (50°F) and 40°C (122°F).
