Description of the operating table
10
Service manual
All operating table models are equipped with
mechanically operated hydraulic pumps. The operating
tables of the model series 200 have got two hydraulic
adjustment functions: Height adjustment Raise/Lower and
Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg adjustment. The
operating tables of the model series 300 and RC have got
an additional lateral adjustment function. The tables of
the RC40 model series feature a fourth hydraulic
adjustment function, which is additional hydraulic
adjustment of the back section.
Operating tables with an “E” in their type designation are
equipped in addition with an electrically-driven hydraulic
pump. These operating tables are also equipped with a
hand-held control unit to operate the electro-hydraulic
pump.The different table functions to be carried out by
the hydraulic system are preselected by means of the
selector lever.
The RC operating table models, same as the E-type
models, are driven electrically, however, the table
functions to be carried out by the hydraulic system are
operated directly by means of the hand-held control unit.
By means of the hand-held control unit, it is also possible
to operate a 0 position function, which makes the table
return into horizontal and lowest position. Moreover, the
assignation of the functions on the hand-held control unit
can be reversed by means the “Reverse” function, in
order to enable a correct operation when the patient is
positioned in reverse orientation on the operating table.
All operating table models with electric operation are
equipped with rechargeable batteries inside the floor
pan.
The operating tables with an “L” in their type designation
are equipped with a table-top with longitudinal
displacement function. By means of this feature, such
parts of the patient’s body can be screened which are
otherwise inaccessible to the C-arm equipment.
The operating tables with a “G” in their type designation
are equipped with an integrated kidney bridge. The
integrated kidney bridge is adjusted in height
hydraulically by means of the foot pump of the table.
All operating tables can be optimally adapted to various
applications by means of accessories. All operating tables
can be equipped with X-ray cassettes, which can be
inserted below the table-top either from the head end or
from the foot end.
According to the regulations of the European Standard
60601-2-46 the operating tables are designed to carry a
maximum patient weight of 135kg. In case a higher
charge is intended, please observe the instructions given
below.
h
A patient weight of max. 135 kg allows all
surgical interventions to be carried out in either
orientation of the patient (patient’s head lying
at head or foot end of the table), provided the
castors of the operating table are blocked.
h
In the case of normal patient orientation and
table-top in mid-position (for operating tables
with longitudinal displacement function) the
operating table may be charged with a patient
weight of max. 185 kg. When transferring a
patient, or when letting a patient mount the
operating table, make sure that the table is
charged principally on the table column.
Familiarize yourself with the reactions of the
operating table under this kind of charge
before starting a surgical intervention.
Pads
The operating tables are normally equipped with black
antistatic pads. Coloured pads, which, however, are not
electrically conductive, are available upon special
request. The antistatic black version fulfils the limits of
resistance according to ISO 2882. Coloured pads are not
electrically conductive, which means that in this case the
operating table is not explosion-proof.
