Indication for Use/Intended Purpose
The MAYFIELD® Spine Table Adaptor is intended to be used to support a patient during diagnostic
examination and/or surgical procedures where a rigid support between the carbon composite parallel
rails style of surgery table and the skull clamp or headrest is necessary and positional freedom is
required. (Item number A2600R is indicated for use when X-ray imaging modalities are required)
Failure to read and follow instructions furnished in this product insert may result in
skull pin slippage and serious patient injury, such as scalp lacerations, skull fracture,
or even death.
Do not steam sterilize; components may be damaged by high heat leading to device
damage and reduced performance.
When using a skull clamp or headrest with this device, be certain to securely fasten it.
Before fully tightening, always be certain that the starburst teeth of the components
are the same size and mesh properly. Failure to do so may result in serious patient
injury. Failure to properly position patient and to fully tighten and secure all adjustable
portions of this or any similar device may result in skull pin slippage and serious
patient injury, such as scalp laceration, skull fracture, or even death.
The user must make sure that any threaded connections are secure and starbursts
have meshed (where applicable) after adjustments are complete. Failure to do so
may result in serious patient injury.
Do NOT alter the construction of this device as it may result in serious patient injury.
Always make sure the Spine Table Adaptor is properly secured to the operating
table. Use only MAYFIELD brand cranial stabilization components with this device.
In instances where a horseshoe headrest may be used with this product, use the
traction system supplied by the bed manufacturer and not the pulley rod.
The Spine Table Adaptor must not be used if the device appears to be damaged or
not functioning correctly.
Over-tightening the mechanisms adjustment screws may result in damage to the
Adaptor.
Over extending or overloading the Spine Table Adaptor may result in unintended
movement, shortened product life and/or damage to the Adaptor.
The MAYFIELD Base Handle must never be in the locked position without a
transitional member (or link arm) in its receptacle. Failure to do so may result in
damage to the handle receptacle.
