Patient Transfer Solution
Seamless Patient Transferring with Zephyr
The Zephyr Patient Transfer System redefines accuracy and ease in radiation therapy workflows. Designed to maintain precise patient positioning from imaging through treatment, Zephyr ensures consistency, enhances safety, and improves overall treatment outcomes.
Zephyr makes it easy to transfer a patient from a treatment room to an MR imaging suite and back again, while keeping the patient in the position required for treatment. With the patented Zephyr hover technology, a single nurse can easily float a patient between a stretcher and an imaging or treatment table. All while minimizing the risks of patient movement and discomfort. Moving even your largest patients couldn’t be easier or more efficient.
Solving Patient Transfer Challenges
Zephyr Hoverboards were developed to overcome the challenges of transferring a patient prepared for a medical procedure from one location to another location:
- Inability to maintain sub-millimeter immobilization of patients
- Physical stress and possible risk of injury to medical staff trying to move patients
- Physical stress on patients and management of the associated clinical devices
- Additional medical personnel to transfer patients
A Zephyr system consists of a hoverboard, blower, and stretcher, which together allow the patient to be transferred onto and off an MR couch top.
Key
Benefits
- Ability to integrate CT, MRI, or other imaging modalities into the patient workflow
- Maintain sub-millimeter immobilization of the patient through the transfer process
- Implement safe patient transfer procedures while reducing staff injuries and lost productivity
- Safely move a patient weighing up to 204 kg (450 lbs)
- Improved patient care by implementing a safe, easy, and gentle transfer
MR-Guided Brachytherapy with Zephyr HDR
The Zephyr HDR system utilizes patented hover technology to allow patient transfer from imaging to treatment while maintaining patient positioning and minimizing the risk of needle/applicator displacement. Integrating the Zephyr HDR for your brachytherapy procedures allows the incorporation of valuable 3D dosimetric data from CT/MR imaging, providing more accuracy in today’s brachytherapy procedures.
- Improve accuracy of HDR treatment;
- Reduce staff requirements & injuries;
- Increase patient comfort and safety;
- Can be utilized in CT or MR
Other systems make much more of a jerking motion, which can cause a lot of back strain for therapists and irritation for patients. With the Zephyr equipment, we can transfer patients more easily and safely, while ensuring they are as comfortable as possible.
Zephyr XL – Zephyr HP – Zephyr HP PRO
Maximizing machine treatment time is essential to increase patient throughput. Complex patient set-up and immobilization consume this valuable time. Utilizing patented hover technology, the Zephyr XL allows patients to be set up and immobilized in a separate staging area. Initial studies have shown a 30% increase in patient throughput without sacrificing treatment accuracy.
- Enables transferring an immobilized patient from imaging to treatment with accuracy
- Improve patient workflow;
- Increases patient comfort and staff safety
