OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PINCHING HAZARD: Extreme tabletop articulation creates pinch points. Before
operating the table, review illustrations in Figures 5-1, PINCH POINTS.
PINCHING AND TIPPING HAZARD: If user is not completely familiar with the controls
for patient positioning and table operation, patient could sustain injury.
TIPPING HAZARD: The maximum patient weight limit for normal orientation and
reverse orientation with sliding toward head not over 6.3in (16cm) is 1000lb (455kg).
The limit drops to 600lb (273kg) when the table (reverse orientation) is slid out to its
extreme (head end).
TIPPING HAZARD: 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 190cm stature. Patients over 600lbs and
shorter than 190cm do not quit fit the Standard's model of weight distribution. Read
Section 3.6.5 Loading Capacity for important information concerning tipping hazard.
PATIENT INJURY HAZARD: A potential hazard exists when the surgical table is used
together with high-frequency surgical equipment such as cardiac defibrillators and
cardiac defibrillator-monitors. In certain conditions the antistatic properties of the
mattress pads could become insufficient to prevent burns to the patient's skin. Care
must be taken to ensure that the insulation between the pad and the patient's skin is
maintained, including monitoring the bed sheet for excessive moisture, which could
compromise this insulation. Carefully read the manufacturers' instructions of these
products relating to patient's safety.
PATIENT INJURY OR FALLING HAZARD: Improper positioning of patient may result
in possible patient injury and table failure. During surgery, health-care professional
present at the time is responsible for the patient's safety.
FALLING HAZARD: Make sure the floor locks are engaged before placing patient on
the table.
FALLING HAZARD: When a patient is on the table, do not release floor locks.
TRIPPING HAZARD: Make sure to route the power cord so that it will not create a
tripping hazard.
