Maquet Getinge Group, Adjustable Positioning Elements (1007.28A0) Manufacturer: Maquet GmbH, Germany. Patient positioners. The MAQUET Adjustable Positioning Elements are designed for the placement and positioning of patients in the prone position immediately before, during and after surgical interventions as well as for examination and treatment. With a patient in the prone position, the adjustable positioning elements stabilize the upper body while simultaneously relieving the abdominal region in the vertical position with regard to the spine and the large blood vessels there. This positioning method is thus suitable for interventions on the spine with dorsal access to prevent positioning-specific compression with resulting bleeding tenancies. They are made up of the following components: (2) chest and (2) hip elements with padding which are secured in a fixed arrangement to the frames and can be adjusted in all directions independently of each other.
Two serious thromboembolic events were reported involving the Adjustable Positioning Elements (Part Number 1007.28A0) in conjunction with Universal Frame (Part Number 1007.24F0) for lumbar spine surgery. The hip elements may have a negative effect on patients- venous backflow under certain conditions and may have been a contributing factor to thromboembolic events.

The MAYFIELD Ultra 360 Base Unit for head positioner, one unit per package. Product Usage: This product provides the ability to position and hold a patient head while the patient is in the prone, supine, lateral or park-bench and sitting positions. It is intended to be used during diagnostic examinations or surgical procedures where a rigid support between the surgical table and a headrest or skull clamp is necessary and positional freedom is required.
Through an investigation of complaints, Integra found that there is the possibility for the locking handle mechanism of the Base Units to fail during use.
