8.7 Rotation Procedure For The 5890/5891 Modular Table Bases
With an attendant at both ends of the table:
1. Release the rotational friction controls.
2. Disengage the patient transfer safety locks at both the head and foot end columns.
3. Disengage the 25-degree rotation stop at the head end column.
4. Rotate the patient.
NOTE: The attendant performing the rotation must rotate the table tops and patient 180
degrees toward himself or herself without stopping until the complete 180 degree
rotation is achieved.
Warning:
Once the rotation has started, do not stop until the patient has been rotated to the
full 180 degrees.
After the rotation:
1. Immediately engage the patient transfer safety locks.
2. Engage the 25-degree rotation stop.
3. Tighten the rotational friction controls to maximum friction.
NOTE: The attendant performing the rotation may now release the table tops. The
patient is now repositioned on the spinal surgery top in the prone position (see Figure
50).
