SECTION II OPERATION
x
Prior to unlocking brakes, check for ob-
structions on the floor that might pre-
vent the table from moving smoothly to
new location. Relock the brakes imme-
diately once the final position is
reached and before commencing sur-
gery. To move the table safely one staff
member should be positioned at the
head end and one at the foot end. If the
patient weight exceeds 115 kg, four
staff members are required to move the
table and ensure patient safety. If pa-
tient weight exceeds 230 kg, the brakes
should remain locked at all times.
x
Don't move a table with patient carried.
There is a risk that patient may fall and
injure or staff may injure.
x
Don't move a table with heavy object
carried. There is a risk that heavy object
may fall and damage or staff may injure.
