IV. Use of the operating table
1.
General
The operating table’s electrical conductivity has
to be checked once a year! This check should
be performed only by trained servicing person-
nel.
Note:
Connect the operating table to the potential equali-
zation system in the OR during the surgical proce-
dure (see DIN VDE 0100 standard, Part 1).
For this purpose, connect the potential equaliza-
tion pin with the cable to a potential equalization
point in the OR, next to the patient.
A potential euqlization cable (5 m) with connectors
at both ends is included in the scope of supply of
the operating table.
2.
Operation on battery power
When operating the table with the integrated batteries
with no connection to the mains supply, the operating
table meets the requirements of the Class AP Test for
Anaesthesiological Operation. It may be used in areas
subject to explosion hazard, zone M.
Battery operation of the table is always preferable to
operation on mains power.
Th capacity of the fully charged batteries allow approx.
one week’s use of the operating table, depending on
how often adjustments are made.
If the charge level of the batteries drops below a mini-
mum permissible value, this is indicated by the red op-
erating table status indicator LED when the operating
table is switched on.
Note:
At less than 10% charge the operating table will
shut down automatically.
Recharge the batteries
Discharged batteries will attain 90% of their charging
capacity after approx. 5 hours (100% after approx. 10
hours).
The batteries are automatically recharged as soon as
the operating table is connected to the mains by means
of the mains cable.
