6. Use a thin, water-tight and absorbent pad between the ASTOPAD applied part
and the patient.
WARNING
If the OR table top is tilted (adjusted through the longitudinal axis), there
is a danger that the patient will slip off. The patient must be sufficiently
secured against slipping before the OR table top is tilted or otherwise
moved out of the horizontal position!
9.1.2 Using ASTOPAD applied part COV as a over blanket
WARNING
Risk of injury!
When ASTOPAD applied parts COV are used as an over-blanket, please ensure
that they do not obstruct the patient’s field of vision.
Place the ASTOPAD applied part lengthwise over the patient with the cable con-
nection side facing away from the patient. If areas of the patient are to be made
accessible, the direction of the ASTOPAD applied part can be adjusted according
to the operation field.
9.1.3 Use with ASTOPAD applied part SOF, ROE without fixation
cover
WARNING
Risk of injury!
Do not cover the labelled SENSOR ZONE of the ASTOPAD applied part ROE (pa-
tient, their extremities or objects).
The ASTOPAD applied part SOF/ROE comes with Velcro tape, approximately 2 m
long (self-adhesive). The Velcro tape must be cut to fit the OR table and applied
to the underside of the ASTOPAD applied part when it is commissioned/installed
(see example below).
