How to Attach the Sterile Array
① ② ③
Figure 25
Step
1. Carefully cut the drape to provide access for attaching the sterile reference array ①.
2. Guide the fixation nut of the reference array through the drape ②.
3. A non-sterile assistant should now mount the reference array to the Reference Clamp
Universal and secure it tightly with the handles and fixation nut from underneath the
drape ③.
4. Attach the drape to the reference array (below the fixation nut) using the sterile tape.
NOTE: To remove the sterile array, detach the tape, loosen the handles, open the fixation
nut and lift the array off.
Patient Registration
Warning
Make sure that all screws of the Reference Clamp Universal are tightly closed before
beginning registration.
Warning
Make sure that the Reference Clamp Universal is tightly attached to the Mayfield Modified
Skull Clamp before beginning registration. Any movement of the Reference Clamp
Universal independent from a movement of the patient’s head causes inaccuracy and is a
hazard to the patient.
Warning
Do not unscrew any Reference Clamp Universal screws after registration. Only the fixation
nut can be unscrewed to exchange the Standard Cranial Reference Array.
Only use identical reference arrays in combination with the Reference Clamp Universal.
