Devices
This chapter contains some general information on the movement of the different
Patient Positioning Devices in the treatment room:
 Patient Positioning Devices
 Solving Collisions
 Managing Proximity
Use the hand-pendant described in Chapter 9 or the remote positioning controls
described in Chapter 11 to move the gantry, snout, PBS Dedicated snout, the PPS or
the imaging devices.
CAUTION Improper patient restraint on the Patient Positioning System (PPS) can
cause the patient to fall from the PPS when in motion. Furthermore,
releasing the pressure sensitive button on the back of the hand pendant
stops the PPS abruptly and can cause the patient to fall off if not
suitably restrained.
Only press the Motion Enable Button when the patient is safely
restrained on the couch or outside the moving equipment operating
range.
