Ifix Product Line Instructions For Use - Interventional Systems iFIX Serie Mode D'emploi

Intended Use
The iFIX Product Line is a non-sterile product,
intended for patient stabilization over a short period
of time, during invasive and non-invasive procedures,
by securing the position of the patient's anatomy with
intact skin outside the sterile field.
Description
iFIX is a patient stabilization system, indicated for
medical procedures during which the patient is
required to maintain a specific position over a short
period of time. The stretchy fleece is intended for
single patient use and, as a single use component,
lowers the risk of cross-contamination. It contours to
the patient's anatomy and secures them in the
desired position through its connection to the
reusable iFIX anchor products. Depending on the
table design, an iFIX Patch that adheres to the table
surface, an iFIX Slot Adapter that slides into the
channels or an iFIX Patch Adapter which connects to
standard hook fasteners can be chosen. The micro
anchors of the iFIX Patches and Adapters strongly
secure the iFIX Fleece and iFIX Spider Fleece to
ensure optimal patient stabilization and minimizing
motion artifacts.
Warnings and Precautions
Warning: The system may only be used by medical
professionals.
Warning: iFIX Fleece, iFIX Spider Fleece and iFIX
Head Mask are products for single patient use only.
Do not reuse iFIX Fleece, iFIX Spider Fleece and iFIX
Head Masks.
