X-ray cassette tray
The X-ray cassette tray allows thoracic X-ray photography with
the backrest at any angle and without the patient moving from
the bed.
WARNING
Position the mattress platform at an ergonomic height to allow easy
loading and removal of X-ray cassettes.
Return the X-ray cassette tray to its closed position below the
backrest before raising or lowering the backrest.
Do not sit or place heavy objects on the X-ray cassette tray.
Ensure the X-ray cassette tray is held securely in place by the catch at
all times.

as far as will go.

ray cassette (4) on the tray with its bottom edge against the lip at the foot end of
