THE TABLE MUST BE USED ONLY BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL

XR/A TABLE OPERATIONS.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OPERATOR TO ENSURE THE
SAFETY OF THE PATIENT WHILE THE TABLE IS IN OPERATION BY
VISUAL OBSERVATION, PROPER PATIENT POSITIONING, AND
USE OF THE PROTECTIVE DEVICES PROVIDED.
THOROUGHLY CHECK THAT THERE IS NO INTERFERENCE OR
POSSIBILITY OF COLLISION BETWEEN THE PATIENT AND OTHER
EQUIPMENT.
6-1-2 Patient Positioning Precaution
ALWAYS BE ALERT TO PATIENT SAFETY CONCERNS:
NEVER LEAVE THE PATIENT UNATTENDED. AN UNATTENDED
PATIENT COULD FALL FROM THE TABLE, ACTIVATE A MOTION
CONTROL, OR CAUSE OTHER UNINTENDED PROBLEMS THAT
COULD BE HAZARDOUS.
CAREFULLY MONITOR ALL EQUIPMENT MOTIONS TO PREVENT
COLLISIONS.
ASSIST PATIENT ON AND OFF THE TABLE.
DURING TABLE TOP PROCEDURES ENSURE THAT THE
PATIENT’S HEAD, HANDS AND FEET ARE COMPLETELY WITHIN
THE TABLE TOP AREA. IF ANY PORTION OF THE PATIENT’S BODY
EXTENDS OVER THE EDGE OF THE TABLE TOP AREA SERIOUS
INJURY MAY RESULT.
THE MAXIMUM SUPPORTED WEIGHT WITH THE TABLE TOP
FULLY EXTENDED TOWARD THE HEAD OR FOOT END OF THE
TABLE IS 220 KG (484 LB), PROVIDED THE PATIENT IS FULLY
PROSTRATE. EXCEEDING THIS LIMIT MAY CAUSE EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE OR INJURY TO THE PATIENT.
