Micro-Touch® Stabilizer
3. Check to see all FAM controls are set near midpoints of their range of travel.
I. Knob X - Centers probe along midline axis of the prostate and centers the transverse image on grid
II. Knob YR - Rotates probe to parallel with prostate centerline
III. Knob ZR - Levels prostate horizontally on transverse image
IV. Stepper Quick Connect Knob - Secures stepper to FAM
V. Stabilizer interface plate
VI. Knob XR - Tilts probe parallel to the posterior surface of the prostate in the sagittal plane
VII. Knob Z - Used to "zero" the stepping unit at the bladder neck to set the base plane for implantation
VIII. Knob Y - Adjusts image height on grid to define posterior row for seed placement (Located on the outboard end of the rail clamp.)
NOTE: Due to low clearance of sliding tabletop in relation to fixed components in some tables, a foam mattress pad may be required to allow complete
freedom of table movement when the single-sided table mount is in operating position with ultrasound transducer in rectum.
