OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
As a valued customer and user of STERIS’s unique Mammography/Biopsy
Chair (MBC), this Operation Manual is to ensure proper use is understood and
followed to obtain maximum safety and function of your STERIS MBC.
The MBC’s unequalled versatility in moving from a chair position to a fully
reclined position is designed to permit convenient patient positioning and
treatment. It has a maximum weight capacity of 325 lbs. The MBC is not
intended to replace a stretcher or gurney, of which STERIS offers a complete
product line for your specialty needs.
STERIS’s MBC has a Warning Label located at the head and foot ends of the
chair’s frame, stating:
Do not sit on end: Tipping may occur.
Patient entry, egress, and transfer from the MBC should always be from the
center side rail locations by lowering the side rail as shown in diagrams A and
B. At no time should the patient be permitted to enter or exit from the ends of
the MBC as shown on diagrams 1, 2 and 3, except in a full chair position.
NOTE: When not in use, do not leave the MBC in a fully reclined position.
NOTE: Patient should be secured with restraint straps when left unattended in
a fully reclined position.
These Operating Instructions are to ensure patient safety and permit you
to use your STERIS MBC to treat, transport and transfer your patient with
unmatched versatility and safety.
If you have any questions, please contact STERIS’s customer service
