CAUTION: Covering the animal during
surgery will cause heat generated
from the top to be trapped, resulting
in an excessive rise in temperature.
This may cause the animal to be
burned. All patients on the heated
top tables should be monitored
continuously to prevent any possible
over-heating.
Rails & Cleats:
Tie-down rails are mounted to the table
edges for easy access – quick-release
restraint cleats are always at the same
height as your patient’s body. Cleats may
be moved to any position along the length
of the table by loosening the knob that
clamps the cleat to the rail.
Quick-release restraint cleats allow one
hand operation. Tie-down straps slip
easily into the cleats to hold the patient
securely in place. To release, simply
pull the tie-down strap in a downward,
outward motion.
Heated Top Option:
The optional heated top provides thermal
support to help prevent hypothermia
during surgery. The heated top should be
between 15° and 25° above ambient room
temperature; however, all patients should
be monitored continuously to prevent
any possible over-heating.
Heat control operating instructions:
1. Activate heat control by pushing the
button to turn green light off.
2. Adjust table top heat to desired
temperature by moving switch slider –
right to increase and left to decrease.
Allow 15 minutes for uniform table
top temperature.
3. Deactivate heat by pushing the
button to turn green light on.
4. The green light is a visual indication
that heat is OFF.
