3. Confirm rotational friction controls are in the maximum friction position. Standing at
one side of the table, firmly grasp both sides of the table to prevent undesired
rotation due to asymmetric patient loading.
4. Disengage the patient transfer safety locks at the head and foot end. (It may be
necessary to slightly release the rotational friction controls at both the head and foot
end to disengage the patient transfer safety locks).
5. Release the rotational friction controls at the head and foot end until the table can be
moved. Rotate the table top until the desired X-ray view is attained.
6. Tighten the rotational friction controls at both the head end, and foot end.
8.3 5892/5803 Advanced Control Bases
1. Confirm that the (4) caster locks on the modular base are engaged.
2. Confirm the rotation safety lock switch is illuminated.
3. Confirm the 180 degree rotation lock lever is in the locked position.
4. An attendant at the head of the bed should press the appropriate right or left tilt
button on the hand control pendant to laterally rotate the table top until the desired x-
ray view is attained.
NOTE: The tilt drive indicator on the 5892/5803 base will not be illuminated once the
table is laterally rotated away from its neutral position.
Failure to follow the prescribed procedures regarding the use of controls, locks
and patient safety straps may result in the patient being dropped.
8.4 180-Degree Patient Rotation
The 180-degree patient rotation sequence is designed to allow a patient to be rotated
completely from the supine to the prone position or visa versa. This may only be
accomplished after the positioning sequence described in section 5.0: Supine
Positioning for Anterior Spine Surgery and Procedures is completed. In most instances,
the patient will be repositioned for posterior spine surgery after the anterior spine
surgery has been completed (i.e. rotated from a supine position to a prone position).
The following 180-degree patient rotation repositioning process assumes the patient is
initially positioned supine on the radiolucent imaging top. This rotation procedure will
result in the patient positioned prone on the Jackson Spinal Surgery Top.
