Disassembly of the Pelvic C-Clamp
The lower arms can be raised by pressing the side buttons (1). To
remove the lower arms completely, keep pushing the buttons
and slide the arms out.
The upper arms can be removed from the upper rails by pressing
the top buttons (2) whilst simultaneously pulling on the arms. Be
sure to hold the rails during this procedure to prevent the rails
from falling.
The outer rails can be separated from the inner rail by pressing
the buttons on the outer rails and pulling the two rails apart.
The threaded tubes can be unscrewed.

Cleaning
For cleaning, the Pelvic C-Clamp should be taken apart as
described above.
Clean the rails, arms and threaded tubes manually, e.g. by using
a brush. The springs in the upper arm should be cleaned through
the little hole. If necessary, broken or damaged parts should be
exchanged.
After cleaning, oil the thread of the threaded tube (Oil Dispenser
with Synthes special oil, Art.No. 519.970) and reassemble the
device.
The Pelvic C-Clamp should be checked after every use/ cleaning/
sterilization to confirm correct function.
The complete sterile Pelvic C-Clamp should be kept ready for use
in the resuscitation room.
