Accuray's RoboCouch^® System is an advanced Patient Positioning System supporting the sub-millimeter accuracy requirements of full-body radiosurgery. Combined with the increased robotic mobility of the CyberKnife^® System, the RoboCouch System offers accessibility to tumors anywhere in the body compared to Accuray's prior patient positioning systems.

Highlights:

• Reduced patient setup time compared to Accuray's prior patient positioning systems.
• High accuracy positioning
• Patient positioning in six degrees of freedom, anterior/posterior, superior/inferior, left/right, roll, pitch and yaw
• Low patient loading height
• Automatic patient alignment from the control console
• Supports patients up to 500 pounds (227 kilograms)
• Ergonomic hand controller allows for single-handed operation and 3-way speed control

Advanced patient positioning
Fully integrated with the CyberKnife treatment delivery system, the RoboCouch System intelligently positions the patient to the planned treatment position with increased accuracy–providing not only greater setup precision, but significantly streamlining the patient setup process compared to Accuray's prior patient positioning systems. The versatility of the system allows for automated patient positioning for treatments anywhere in the body including the head, spine, lung, pancreas, liver and prostate.

Intelligent 6D correction in real-time
The RoboCouch System includes our new ability to automatically position or re-position the patient from the control room–eliminating the need for staff to interrupt treatments for time-consuming manual patient repositioning. And with a full six degrees of freedom, the RoboCouch System has the automated ability to control pitch, roll and yaw corrections–corrections required for the sub-millimeter demands of radiosurgical procedures.

Superior ergonomics and usability
The RoboCouch System includes low loading capabilities, making accessibility for mobility-limited patients simple and comfortable. And for greater patient flexibility, the RoboCouch System accommodates a weight capacity of up to 500 pounds (227 kilograms). The rigid robotic design of the RoboCouch System provides for uncompromised stability and swift maneuverability.

The RoboCouch System is capable of automatically positioning the patient in six degrees of freedom from bedside or planning station.
