OVERVIEW
This manual provides information for installing, operating, and maintaining Quantum
Medical Imaging’s Fixed (Model QT-740) and Elevating (Model QT-750) Radiographic
Tables (hereinafter referred to as the radiographic table). It is imperative that all
safety procedures described in this manual be strictly adhered to in order to ensure
the safety of both patient and user.
The key features of the Model QT-740 and QT-750 radiographic tables are as follows:
• Large Tabletop area (85 inches long x 34 inches wide) provides ample
examination platform
• Four-way floating tabletop permits 36 inches of longitudinal travel and 10
inches of lateral travel for full radiographic coverage
• Foot pedal controls for table float-top motions (foot pedal inhibit switch
deactivates foot pedals to prevent inadvertent tabletop motion)
• Push button FLOAT control provided for operator convienence
• Small patient-to-film plane distance provides improved radiography with
minimal magnification
• Accepts all types of image receptors (buckies, grids, and stationary grid
cabinets)
• Patient handgrips are standard accessory
• AC line cord, fitted with hospital-grade plug, plugs into a 115VAC, 50/60 Hz
receptacle (also configurable for 220 VAC, 50/60 Hz power input)
• The Image Receptor Cabinet is equipped with electric locks ensuring precise
film receptor alignment
In addition, the Model QT-750 provides:
• Heavy-duty lift mechanism allows for patient loads of up to 650 lbs. (weight
must be centered over table base)
• Variable height tabletop, lowers to 21 inches and raises to 32.5 inches (11.5
inches total vertical travel)
• Foot pedal controls for table up/down motions
• Collision sensors disable tabletop down motion in the event an obstruction is
detected below tabletop
