CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
When moving the table to point of use, roll it carefully at moderate speed and only over smooth floors. Maximum
floor clearance is 1/4" (6 mm). Avoid door jambs, elevator jambs, and obstructions greater than 1/4" (6 mm). If
necessary, lift uncrated table over obstructions, onto trucks, etc. Lift table evenly and only by the table base. DO
NOT transport articles (including accessories) on top of the table and DO NOT use a forklift to move the uncrated
table.
Route the hand control cord (and optional HERMES
®
-Ready
1
or ACT Enabled™ interface cord and/or optional foot
control cord, if applicable) clear of any pinch points where the cord(s) could be damaged.
The use of incorrect hydraulic oil may severely damage the table and/or cause malfunction. Contact STERIS for
the proper oil to use.
For ORCS equipped tables, use the HERMES
®
-Ready
1
or ACT Enabled™ 3085 SP hand control with the blue strain
relief on the plug. The standard 3085 SP hand control has a red strain relief on the plug.
These two hand controls
are not interchangeable.
Hang the hand control from side rail (or end rail) of the table when not in use, to avoid possible damage to the control.
During some extreme articulations, the tabletop may contact the base and/or column shrouds. Take care to avoid
positioning the table in such a way as to cause damage to the shrouds.
Use caution when raising the seat section or back section while the kidney bridge is elevated. The section may
contact the elevated kidney bridge and damage the bridge and/or section.
When cleaning/disinfecting table, do not use phenolics, which may cause patient skin burns if inadequately rinsed
off, or alcohol, which does not have sufficient cleaning/disinfection properties.
When cleaning/disinfecting table, thoroughly read the cleaning fluid directions for use and follow all directions and
cautions as shown.
Do not spray cleaning fluid into electric receptacles and avoid spraying directly on override switches or into
clearance space above column. Spray or drippage may settle onto electric circuits inside table causing corrosion
and loss of function.
Cleaning procedures requiring articulation of the table should be performed only by persons familiar with table
operation.
After performing cleaning procedures, ensure pads and X-ray tops are completely dry before reinstalling. Moisture
trapped between pads and X-ray tops may contribute to equipment damage, such as X-ray top warpage.
Table may cause dimpling of cushioned vinyl flooring or other soft flooring. When fully loaded to 500 lb (226 kg)
patient load, the floor lock feet exert up to 380 psi (2,619 KPa) pressure on the floor. The pressure may reach
440 psi (3,033 KPa) with a 1,000-lb (452-kg) patient load.
The table has internal switches for setting to various AC-input voltages. Improper setting of switches may damage
table electrical system and/or cause improper operation of the table.
The HERMES
®
-Ready
1
and ACT Enabled hand controls are interchangeable for control of table functions;
however, ORCS voice-activation control will NOT operate properly with improper hand control.
