3.6.5
Loading Capacity
The nominal patient weight capacity is tested according to the Standard IEC60601-2-46
Additional sub clause: 21.101. The Standard's weight distribution calculation model is based on
person with 190 cm stature. The B2AV1000 Series tables could hold patient weighting up to
1000lbs (455kg) in normal orientation and reverse orientation with table sliding out
(B2AV1000S/SK/SKP models) not exceeding 6.3in (16cm). When the table (reverse orientation)
slides all the way out (head end) the capacity drops to 600lb (273kg). A graphic representation
of such drop in loading capacity with relation to slide distance is in Figure 3-5.

However, patients over 600lbs and shorter than 190cm do not fit the above model, which means
a person shorter than 190cm and over 600lbs could face table tipping hazard. A good practice
to minimize such hazard would be to slide out only the distance needed for a task, and not to
slide all the way out every time regardless of patient's stature. When in doubt concerning the
maximum safe patient weight for any position, please contact your local NUVO representative.
