5.0 SUPINE POSITIONING FOR ANTERIOR SPINE SURGERY AND PROCEDURES
The Radiolucent Imaging Top may be used for anterior spine procedures according to
the following procedure:
1. Lock the table base in position by engaging the (4) caster locks.
2. Verify that the table controls are locked.
5.1 5890/5891 Modular Table Bases
1. Engage the patient transfer safety locks at both the head and foot end columns (see
section 3.0, Figures 13 and 14).
2. Set the rotational friction controls to maximum friction at both the head and foot end
columns (see section 3.0, Figures 13 and 15).
3. Engage the 25° rotation stop (see section 3.0, Figure 16).
5.2 5892/5803 Advanced Control Bases
1. Confirm the rotation safety lock switch is illuminated (see section 3.0, Figure 24).
2. Confirm rotation lock indicator light is illuminated (see section 3.0, Figure 24).
3. Confirm the tilt drive status indicator is illuminated (see section 3.0, Figure 24).
5.2.1 Attach the Radiolucent Imaging Table Top with table pad or the 5879-2
Anterior Extension Positioner with 5" bladder (see section 3.0: Table Top
Coupling Procedures), depending on which base is used.
NOTE: For anterior cervical surgery where cervical spine extension is required, it is
recommended that the Mizuho OSI P/N 5879-2 Anterior Extension Positioner with 5"
bladder be used instead of the standard imaging top pad assembly (see Figure 29).
5.2.2 Transfer the patient to a supine position on the Radiolucent Imaging Table
Top. Apply the patient safety strap and secure.
5.2.3 The arms may be positioned parallel to the patient, tucked and supported
with padding and a draw sheet.
