6.3 ATTACHING THE ADAPTER DRAPE
NOTE:
It is recommended to have spare adapter drapes ready at the start of a case.
1.
Once patient prep is complete, and prior to draping the patient, it is time to connect the adapter drape to
the
ALLY UPS.
2.
The sterile personnel should connect the adapter drape. Align the pinch clips as shown and press them
onto the end of the flexible arm. Make sure the drape snaps fully into place. Slide the attached drape
around the elbow of the ALLY UPS until you get to the main unit.

drape has not been breached. Verify the expiration date.

CAUTION:
Operating room personnel should take care not to contaminate the draped ALLY UPS
flexible arm during the remaining patient preparation steps.
