Liac

LIAC is intended for use in radiation therapy in the operating theatre on a patient from whom the surgeon has just removed a neoplasia. The device may solely be used for oncological radiation therapy. The contraindications are related to use on non-oncological patients. To this end, the mobile structure with its equipment is moved to the patient at the appropriate time and placed in a position such that the applicator can be connected. At this point, the operating theatre is evacuated and the radiation command given from the console outside, after which the mobile structure is removed and surgery completed. The radiation time is normally not more than two minutes and therefore does not significantly affect the surgery time. The machine may only be used by radiation therapy or surgery staff previously trained for its use. In order to reduce the dose to the healthy tissues of the patient during the therapeutic treatment, the specific Abdominal Radiation Protection Screens must be used. The control console normally does not require sterilization but only regular cleaning. LIAC is intended to be used in a public and private health environment. LIAC is intended to be handled by trained personnel (operators)authorised by the user (authority responsible).
