WARNING

If the OR table top is tilted (adjusted through the longitudinal axis),
there is a chance 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 COV as a top blanket
WARNING
Risk of injury!
When applied parts of the ASTOPAD COV are used as a top blanket, ensure
that they do not obstruct the patient’s field of vision.
Always place a thin waterproof and absorbent barrier between the ASTOPAD
applied part and the patient.
Place the blanket lengthwise over the patient with the cable connection side
facing away from the patient. If areas of the patient are to be made accessible,
the direction of the blanket can be adjusted according to the operation field.
