5-6Patient Grasp Handles
The Patient Grasp handles may be engaged anywhere along the table top frame.

Instruct patients to use them. They are intended to keep the patient’s hands out of
harm’s way,
but are not intended to hold the weight of the patient.

GRASP HANDLES
5-7Safety Harness
Make certain to have at least a 3 inch (76 mm) overlap of the self–adhering mate-
rial of the safety harness. This amount of overlap is required to support the weight
of a 300 lb (136 kg) patient.
5-8Reciprocating Bucky
Injury could occur from unintended motion. Remove patient from the
table and call Service.
PATIENT MAY FALL OR ROLL OFF TABLE. USE SAFETY HARNESS
WHENEVER POSSIBLE. NEVER LEAVE THE PATIENT UNATTENDED.
THE BUCKY ASSEMBLY IS UNBALANCED WHENEVER THE
CASSETTE TRAY IS REMOVED WHILE THE TABLE IS IN THE
VERTICAL OR TRENDELENBURG POSITION. TO AVOID SUDDEN
MOVEMENT WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY, ONLY REMOVE THE
CASSETTE TRAY WHILE BUCKY ASSEMBLY IS LOCKED AND THE
TABLE IS IN THE HORIZONTAL POSITION.
