9. Optical pinch sensor
area
The sensors detect a hand or other body part below the surface of the
table and lock the table movement to prevent injury. The system will sound
an audible tone when the finger pinch lock is activated.
Refer to
Digital Cassette Imaging in Extended Table Detector Tray(p. 8-56)
for more information.
10. Hand Grips
Two hand grips are optional with the system. These serve to keep the
patients' hands away from the tabletop edges and to give patients a
feeling of security. The grips are not intended to support the weight of
patients.
For increased patient safety, the patient hand grips can be used during all
examinations. The grips slide onto the side rails of the tabletop. They can
be locked in place in any position along the side rails with the
thumbscrews. Refer to
Table Hand Grips and Compression Band
for more information.
11. Abdominal
Compression Band
(clamp only shown)
The Abdominal compression band option is a fabric band, secured at the
table edge, by the clamp shown. The compression band allows the user to
place the band over the patient to provide IVP compression as requested
by the Radiologist. Patients should be monitored at all times and not be
left unattended.

Table Hand Grips and Compression Band (Option)(p. 8-71)
