With two people holding the second top,
1. Attach the head end H-frame as described above to the table top at the desired
mounting hole.
2. Position the second table top and attach the head end H-frame to the head end
crossbar.
3. Attach the foot end H-frame to the foot end crossbar surrounding the table top
coupling device.
4. Connect the table top coupling device to the foot end H-frame at the desired
mounting hole. Verify that the table top is coupled at the desired height at the head
end.
4.8 Patient Rotation
The MTS provides the capability of rotating a patient 180° to transfer the patient from
the supine to the prone position or vise-versa. This is a manually activated function. The
rotation is performed and controlled by the operating room personnel. Refer to the
Jackson Spinal Surgery and Imaging Table Owners Manual, Section 7.0 Rotation
Procedures for detailed instruction for a patient rotation.
NOTE: At least two people are required to hold and control the rotating motion of the
table tops. One additional person should be assigned to monitor the patient's head
during the rotation.
4.9 Rotation Lock System
The 5803 Advanced Control Base is designed to engage the rotation safety lock
automatically whenever the on/off power switch is turned "OFF". Automatic rotation
safety lock engagement ensures that the table top cannot unintentionally rotate laterally
without power.
4.10 Rotation Procedure
With an attendant at the head end of the table:
1. Patient is securely strapped to table system.
2. Release the 180° rotation lock by rotating the lever counterclockwise until the 180°
rotation lock indicator light goes out.
3. Advise the attendants holding the tabletops that the rotation safety lock is about to
be released.
4. Release the rotation safety lock by pressing the rocker switch to the off position.
Observe that the indicator light goes out.
5. Rotate the tabletops.
NOTE: The attendant performing the rotation must rotate the tabletops 180° toward
himself or herself without stopping until the complete 180° rotation is achieved.
After the rotation:
1. Immediately engage the rotation safety lock by pressing the rocker switch to the on
position and observe that the indicator light is illuminated.
2. Lock the 180° rotation lock by rotating the lever clockwise until the 180° rotation lock
indicator light is illuminated.
NOTE: The attendant performing the rotation may now release the table tops.
