4.3. Headrest
Intended Use:
To support a patient’s head during medical examination or procedure. It is adjustable to accommodate different patients’
support needs.
4.3.1. Articulating Headrest
The Multi-Position Adjustable Headrest is positioned by manipulating the pivoting arm assembly mounted on the back of
the chair. The headrest mechanism is restrained by a movable handle which is part of the assembly. To reposition the
headrest, the following procedures apply. Refer to Figure 4-3.
Headrest Positioning
1. Grasp the handle and pull outward and upward (this releases the arm assembly) while steadying the
headrest with the other hand.
2. Move the handle forward or backward to obtain the optimum position for the patient’s head.
3.
Lock the headrest into position by grasping the handle and the adjoining arm between your thumb and
fingers and squeezing tightly. The handle will snap into the restraining position.
