1. INTRODUCTION
Intended Use
The Echo/Vasc Pro Vascular Ultrasound Table was designed to provide a safe ergonomic
environment for the sonographer and patient. The design features are intended to relieve
musculoskeletal stress on the sonographer while scanning, and to provide the utmost patient
comfort.
Indications For Use
The Echo/Vasc Pro Vascular ultrasound table is typically used in radiology departments,
diagnostic imaging centers and private practice clinics to achieve quality images for a variety of
procedures and patient applications, avoiding physical stress and strain on the sonographer
while scanning.
The table’s design features vertical height adjustment to accommodate sonographers petite and
tall, or the option to frequently change from seated or standing work position. Cutouts on either
side of the table enable full patient access and sonographer ergonomics. The cardiac scanning
cutout provides open access to the patient’s left thorax area for unobstructed apical approach.
Ergonomically designed, the sonographer cutout virtually eliminates repetitive strain injuries.
General Cleaning And Maintenance
1. As required, cleanse all exterior surfaces and tabletop pads with a mild detergent solution,
such as Parker Laboratories Protex Disinfectant or any one-step disinfectant that does not
contain bleach.
2. Keep wheel assemblies free of foreign materials and dirt accumulation.
3. Periodically inspect all welds.
4. Periodically check bolts on table, tighten if necessary.
5. Periodically inspect all strap holders. Any holder that feels loose should be removed and
reattached after adding a spot of Loctite
®
Threadlocker (Blue #242) to the bolt threads. This
should ensure that the bolt will not loosen again in the future.
