Safety Guidelines:
1.
Secure restraining straps immediately after placing the patient on the
table. The restraining straps prevent the patient from rolling off the side of the
table.
NOTE:
The restraining straps are not intended to restrain an uncontrolled
patient.
2. Always lock the casters before moving a patient onto or off the table.
3. This table is rated to support patients weighing up to a maximum of 500
pounds.

Maintenance and Cleaning
The Biodex Urology & Brachytherapy C-Arm Tables are virtually maintenance free. By following
the instructions below at suggested time intervals, or as often as necessary, the table(s) will
remain in “like new” condition.
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
NOTE:
When cleaning the pads, do not pull them off the c-arm table forcefully. The industrial
strength Velcro will hold the pads in place, causing them to rip. Instead, reach underneath the
pads and gently pull the Velcro apart.
CAUTION:
Disconnect power from source before removing panel or covers. Reliable
grounding achieved only by connecting this unit to an equivalent marked hospital
only or hospital grade receptacle.
