Clipping the STARSupport onto the STARBoard

The STARSupport clips onto the STARBoard, offering quick and secure mounting and removal.

 

The STARSupport should be clipped close to the pivot point, near the daggerboard so that the blue cup is positioned on the patients upper arm (above the elbow).

Setting Up the STARBoard for the STARSupport

Once the STARSupport has been clipped onto the STARBoard, move the armrest in towards the patient and tighten the pivot screw. This will ensure that the STARSupport will not swing out away from the patient during the procedure.

STARSupport Placement Orientation

The STARSupport has a diagram on the soft blue cup to indicate the correct orientation it should be positioned in relation to the patient.  When placing the STARSupport, rotate the blue cup so the diagram follows the direction of the supine patient.
