Zephyr® HDR
Patient Positioning and Transfer System for Image Guided Brachytherapy
With image-Guided Brachytherapy (IGBT), allowing clinicians to modify dose distributions based on a patient’s individual anatomy and tumor response, typically using CT, PET/CT, and/or MRI, becoming the standard of care, the question arises as to how can you image with the various modalities while ensuring applicator/needle displacement does not occur while moving the patient to the brachytherapy suite.
The Zephyr HDR utilizes patented hover technology for the patient transfer which effectively reduces the displacement of the applicator/needles between imaging and treatment in a safe, accurate, and stable manner.

Zephyr® HDRBenefits
Improve treatment accuracy
• Minimize risk of applicator/needle movement during transfer utilizing hover technology
• Stirrups mounted directly to Zephyr side rails enable the patient to remain in the same position throughout imaging and treatment, reducing procedure start to finish time
• Easily adjust and remove applicators/needles without repositioning the patient
• Enhanced access to implant area
Facilitate treatment
• Allows GYN and prostate HDR procecudres
• Footrest permits supine positioning
• Fits small bore CT and MR systems
• Effortless lateral (side to side) and longitudinal (head to foot) transfer without lifting the patient
Prevent injuries and reduce staff requirements
• Meets no-lift policy standards
• Less burden and physical strain on staff during lateral and longitudinal patient transfer
• Two people can safely and easilty transfer a patient between implant procedure, imaging and treatment
• Increase patient comfort and safety by hovering rather than lifting
Incorporate IGBT Treatment Planning
• Deliver a higher dose to the target volume
• Deliver a reduced dose to the surrounding tissue and organs-at-risk
• Reduce the occurrence of side-effects

Zephyr® HDR Highlights
Zephyr® is also available for Image-Guided Radiotherapy
Implementing image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and adaptive radiotherapy techniques are becoming the standards of practice to improve treatment precision and accuracy. The Zephyr XL series incorporates indexed couchtops that accept immobilization devices for maintaining the positioning of the patients throughout the transfer processes, permitting the flexible use of different imaging modalities CT, PET/CT, and/or MR to achieve IGRT today.
Zephyr® XL
Benefits of the Zephyr® XL Series
• Enabling adaptive radiotherapy techniques
• Increase patient throughput without sacrificing treatment accuracy
• Immobilization devices can be indexed to Zephyr hoverboard
• Reduce staff requirements and injuries
• A variety of Zephyr systems are available which are uniquely tailored to meet the requirements in the radiation therapy environment

Zephyr® for Orfit HP PRO Solution for proton therapy
Zephyr® HDR Highlights
Handle/Accessory Rail
In addition to providing a handle for easily maneuvering the hoverboard, the Handle/Accessory Rail allows:
• Attachment of patient arm boards when needed for anesthesia cases.
• Attachment of standard patient safety straps to secure the patient to the Zephyr HDR hoverboard.
Universal Clamp Bracket
• Provides longitudinal and lateral positioning of either Varian’s or Elekta’s Universal Clamp directly to the hoverboard for improved ease of use.
• Ability to mount stepper for prostate procedures (DUAL mount only).
• Universal clamp bracket available for a variety of afterloading clamps.
Zephyr® Stretchers
• Narrow footprint to maneuver easily around corners and in mazes.
• The Zephyr stretcher design allows the Zephyr HDR to be positioned at the far end of the stretcher for easy access to area of interest.
