4.22 Sidearms
Sidearms provide patient security and comfort.
Note:
Each sidearm adjusts independently.
●
To rotate a sidearm:
Press the red button in the center
of the sidearm mount casting (Figure 24) and rotate
the sidearm to a new position. Locking positions are at
approximately 45° intervals.
●
To swing the sidearms outward:
Slide the lever away
from the mount casting to unlock the sidearm and
swing it away from the patient surface (Figure 25).
This position is useful for a large patient or to position
the patient's arm at a convenient angle for starting
intravenous (IV) lines.
●
To swing the sidearms inward:
Push the sidearm toward
the center of the iN∫X to lock the sidearm in the in-line
position.
●
To store the sidearm:
Rotate the sidearm toward the
loading end of the iN∫X, aligned with the backrest.
