AADCO
AADCO MEDICAL, INC. · Model PBS-004
A device intended to facilitate adequate positioning and immobilization of a patient’s body part during diagnostic imaging procedures, image-guided surgical or interventional procedures, and/or radiation therapy procedures; it is not dedicated to a specific part of the body. The device is in the form of a frame, board, cushion, or preformed pad that may also be used to facilitate reproducible positioning for serial imaging studies or serial radiation therapy treatments.
Key tips
- ·Never bypass a radiation interlock to "just get the image" - this is one of the few true zero-tolerance rules in BMET work.
- ·Trend image-quality phantom results over time - drift shows up before an outright failure does.
- ·Portable/mobile units take real physical abuse from transport - check wheel locks and cable strain reliefs more often than fixed units.
