2 Introduction
2.1 General Description
The ProAxis® Spinal Surgery Table (Figure 1) is designed to support and position a patient undergoing
surgical procedures while allowing for the articulation of the patient’s spine intra-operatively through
flexion and extension movements. These intra-operative movements allow the natural movement of the
spine to be replicated during the surgical procedure. The table provides prone, supine, and lateral
positioning capabilities, with enhanced user and patient benefits through key proprietary features. The
table’s radiolucent hinge, spars, and two-piece supine top also allow for excellent intraoperative imaging
using either a C-arm or O-arm®.
The ProAxis® table has electrically powered positioning and operating functions, which are controlled by
means of the IntelliPendant®. The IntelliPendant® provides a visual status display for the Floor Locks,
Hinge Mode, Advanced Control Pad System™ (ACP), Battery Status, Height Status,
Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg Angle, Hinge Angle, and Lateral Tilt Angle. The table provides a
further feature in providing the user with the option of selecting between two Hinge Mode settings – Fixed
Surgical Site (FSS) or Fixed End (FE) mode.
The table includes Mizuho OSI Tempur-Pedic® medical pad technology. The material used in the
manufacture of the Mizuho OSI pads has viscoelastic properties and is temperature sensitive, becoming
softer where the patient’s body makes the most contact with the surface and remaining firm in the areas
where less body contact is being made. Pressure is distributed evenly over the entire surface area. The
pads are radiolucent and made without natural rubber latex. The benefits of using Mizuho OSI TempurPedic® Medical Pads are improved pressure management, reduced shear forces, and enhanced patient
comfort when used in ambient temperatures. In accordance with AORN recommendations, it is important
to limit skin exposures to lower ambient temperatures, protect the patient by initiating passive warming
interventions (e.g. applied forced-air warming systems, blankets, drapes and reflective composites), and
to maintain an ambient room temperature of 20° to 25°C.
The Advanced Control Pad System™ is utilized when the patient is positioned prone. The pad control
system, which is built into the table, is electronically controlled and pneumatically actuated, providing
massage action and periodic pressure point stimulation through the Contoured ACP Hip Pads.

external ground stud should be connected to a protective earth ground (Figure 4, page 13).
WARNING: This symbol indicates an external ground stud that is required for use when
the AC power cable is not connected to a protective earth ground hospital grade AC outlet in your
operating room or facility or when the table is in use under battery power. Failure to ensure ground
may cause harm to the patient, healthcare professionals, or the device.
NOTE: If the integrity of the AC power source is in doubt, the equipment shall be operated from its
internal electrical power source (battery).
Should the table be operated on battery power:
1. Ensure that the battery has been properly charged as outlined in Section 12.3. Depress
the Power Switch and observe that the switch illuminates with a green ring indicating that
power is applied to the table. The battery LED at the base of the Head-End column will not
be illuminated, indicating that the table is being used on battery power (Figure 4, page 13).
2. The battery status symbol on the screen of the IntelliPendant® indicates the level of
charge in the batteries. If the battery status symbol with one green bar appears , the
battery is not charged and the table should only be used with AC power.
WARNING: Failure to ensure the table is properly charged when used on battery power may
cause the table to malfunction and may harm the patient, healthcare professional and the table.
3. To protect the patient, hospital staff, and the table from possible electrical hazards, an
external ground cable connection is required between the external ground studand
protective earth ground when the table is in use under battery power (Figure 4, page 13).
The expected working life of a fully charged battery is approximately eight (8) hours with two procedures
averaging a total of six (6) minutes of motion time. While in storage, it is recommended that the table be
plugged in to charge the battery. A fully depleted battery will take 24 hours to fully charge. This can be
accomplished when using the table under AC power.
If during use, the battery symbol on the IntelliPendant® appears , the table should be connected
to AC power, and it can continue to be utilized while the battery is charging.

4.7.3 Return to Level
The IntelliPendant® is equipped with a Return to Level button that allows the table to be returned to a
neutral position from any current state. When the Return to Level function is activated, the Lateral Tilt
Angle returns to 0 degrees, Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg Angle returns to 0 degrees, and the
Hinge Angle returns to 0 degrees. Following a one (1) second pause, if the button continues to be

4.8Independent Monitoring System (IMS)
The ProAxis® Spinal Surgery Table includes an Independent Monitoring System that monitors the load on
the table and notifies the user in the event the table is overloaded. The system works by monitoring the
load on the Head-End plate to which the spars are attached. If the load exceeds the allowable amount for
the maximum-weight patient, the system will notify the user through the use of an error message and table
motion will be interrupted.
The table can be overloaded for three (3) reasons, any of which will be detected by the IMS and prevent
motion of the table. No other conditions are monitored that will trigger the alarm system.
1. A patient whose weight is over the maximum weight limit is placed on the table.
2. Extreme external forces.
3. A loss of coordination between the Head-End and Foot-End, which can place additional
load or tension on the table.
Page 52
ProAxis® Spinal Surgery Table Owner’s Manual
48
Mizuho OSI 2016
NW0725 Rev K
Should the table be overloaded due to any of these three conditions, the overload notification of the IMS will
be triggered and the user will be notified via the Overload screen (Figure 57). In this state, the user has the
opportunity to reverse the table’s overloaded state by removing the load.
Figure 57: IntelliPendant® Display when the Overload Notification of the IMS is Triggered
If the load on the table increases beyond the overload notification level, the IMS will trigger an overload
alarm to notify the user and prevent any further motion of the table (Figure 58).
Figure 58: IntelliPendant® Display when the IMS Overload Alarm is Triggered
For the user, there is no detectable delay from the time the alarm system detects the table is overloaded to
when a warning is displayed on the IntelliPendant®.
The specific load on the table that triggers the alarm system is preset at the factory and is not adjustable.
The functionality of the alarm system should be verified as part of the periodic maintenance of the table.

16. Trial position the imaging equipment if it will be used. If necessary, re-locate the ProAxis®
Spinal Surgery Table in the room. Unlock the Floor Locks by using the IntelliPendant® and
with the assistance of a second person move the ProAxis® Spinal Surgery Table. When
the table is located where it will be used, lock the Floor Locks.
CAUTION: The ProAxis® Surgery Table is not for patient transport. The location of the table
relative to any imaging equipment that may be used needs to be confirmed prior to the patient being
transferred to the table.
17. Refer to the specific manufacturer’s instructions for use regarding the Skull Clamp being
attached to the Cervical Management Base Unit. The surgeon determines the best
approach to secure the patient to the Skull Clamp.
18. Confirm the Black Knobs of the Cervical Management Base Unit are loosened so that the
Transitional Arms and Adaptor can be readily positioned when connecting the Skull Clamp.
19. Position the patient bed or stretcher so the patient’s anatomical landmarks are aligned with
the support pads on the hinged frame of the ProAxis® Spinal Surgery Table. It may be
necessary to re-position the Chest Pad. The top edge of the Chest Pad should align with
the patient’s anatomical landmark, the bottom of supra-sternal notch, and the top third of
the Contoured ACP Hip Pad should align with the patient’s anatomical landmark, the iliac
crest.
20. The height of the patient’s bed or stretcher should be level with the top of the Contoured
ACP Hip Pad. To assist the patient transfer process, you may choose to use the
IntelliPendant® and laterally tilt the table toward the patient bed or stretcher.
21. Lock the patient stretcher or bed. Confirm by observing the IntelliPendant® display that the
table Floor Locks are locked. The Floor Locks Locked symbol should be visible (Figure 22,
page 25).
22. The surgeon supports the patient’s head in the Skull Clamp while others assist to log-roll
the patient onto the ProAxis® Spinal Surgery Table. The surgeon continues to support the
patient’s head and Skull Clamp until final positioning is achieved with the Cervical
Management Base Unit.
WARNING: After log-rolling the patient to a prone position, confirm that the endotracheal tube
is not kinked. Failure to confirm may cause harm to the patient.
23. Continue to support the patient on the table until the safety straps are in place. DO NOT
leave the patient unattended on the table.
WARNING: Patient must be restrained at all times by a safety strap(s) when positioned on the
table.
24. Remove the patient bed or stretcher while supporting the patient on the table.

25. Visually confirm the placement of the Contoured ACP Hip Pads. The pad should be
mounted abutting the Pad Stop (Figure 73, page 68). When positioned correctly, the
patient’s anatomical landmark, the iliac crest, should rest in the top one-third of the pad.
The Patient Kit Hip Pad Cover should be smooth against the patient’s skin. Ensure that the
patient’s skin is smooth and flat against the Patient Kit Hip Pad Cover. To re-position the
patient on the Pad, the patient should be lifted and moved such that the iliac crest contacts
the top third of the pad. Ensure the Hip Pad Cover is smoothed and lower the patient back
onto the Pad. Confirm correct placement of the Pads such that each of the patient’s iliac
crests rest in the top one-third of each respective Hip Pad (Figure 81, page 74).
CAUTION: Failure to ensure that the patient is positioned correctly on the Contoured ACP Hip
Pad may result in harm to the patient or the device.
26. Visually confirm the placement of the Chest Pad. When positioned correctly, the edge of
the Pad should rest at the patient’s anatomical landmark, the supra-sternal notch (Figure
82, page 74). Breasts should be down and lying flat, with the nipples oriented towards the
Foot-End of the table. The Patient Kit Chest Pad Cover should be smooth against the
patient’s skin.Ensure that the patient’s skin is smooth and positioned flat against the
cover. If necessary, re-position the Chest Tray. While lifting and supporting the patient,
move the Chest Tray to the desired location and smooth the Chest Pad Cover. The patient
should then be lowered back onto the Chest Pad.
NOTE: With ideal positioning, the Chest Pad should contact the patient such that the load is borne
predominantly by the sternum.
WARNING: Positioning the Chest Pad superior to the supra-sternal notch may apply pressure
to the throat and patient’s airway. Failure to ensure the patient is positioned correctly on the Chest
Pad may result in harm to the patient or the device.
27. Visually confirm that the Leg Sling or Leg Boards provide support to the patient’s knees,
and the legs are supported on the pillows. If the Leg Sling is being used, the patient’s
knees should be flexed and legs supported on the pillows. Re-position the legs and add
pillows as required under the patient’s tibias to ensure that the ankles are not hyper-
extended and there is no pressure on the patient’s feet (Figure 81, page 74).
CAUTION: Failure to ensure that the patient is positioned correctly with the Leg Sling or Leg
Boards may result in harm to the patient or the device.
28. Position the patient’s arms back to his/her sides and secure. The disposable Positioning
Straps may be used to assist in final positioning. The Arm Cradles may be used to provide
padding.
29. Place the Buttocks Strap across the lower gluteal area of the patient. A blanket may be
used under the Buttocks Strap to protect the patient from direct contact with the strap. The
strap can be fed through the buckle on the sides of the Contoured ACP Hip Pads and then
back on itself, securing the Velcro®. Confirm that the Buttocks Strap is positioned low on
the gluteal area, and that it surrounds both Contoured ACP Hip Pads, and is secured
snugly around the buttocks. Ensure that the patient does not directly contact the frame of
the table. Use foam or gel padding as needed to pad the area between the patient and the
rails of the frame.
30. Apply a Safety Strap over the patient’s lower legs. Secure the Safety Strap in place with
use of the buckle.

Figure 96: Final Prone Positioning with Cervical Management Base Unit
NOTE: The placement and location of the Straps are at the discretion of the surgeon and vary by
procedure.
31. Due to the open nature of the ProAxis® frame and the long duration of many spinal
procedures, the use of forced air warmers, fluid warmers, and blankets should be
considered to help prevent hypothermia. Blankets may be placed over the feet up to the
gluteal area and across the shoulders and arms out of the surgical field to aid in
maintaining the patient’s body temperature. These devices should be used according to
the manufacturer’s directions and at the discretion of the surgeon.
WARNING: Proper pre-operative and intra-operative procedures must be followed to prevent
venous stasis and pooling, pressure sore development, neuropathy, improper electrosurgical tissue
grounding, hypertension/hypotension, and hypothermia.
WARNING: Use care and monitor the patient when changing the position of the ProAxis®
Surgery Table (Height Up/Down, Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg, and Lateral Roll) to ensure
that the patient or table does not interfere with other equipment, and the components and
accessories have proper clearance in relation to the surrounding areas. Failure to do so may cause
harm to the patient or device.
32. Confirm that the patient is in their final position. If a Retractor Adaptor is required to mount
auxiliary equipment, mount it on the rail frame. Open the Adaptor by turning the black knob
and releasing the bottom of the Adaptor. Place the Adaptor around the frame, align the
black knob, turn to tighten and secure the Adaptor in place. Ensure that the patient does
not directly contact the Retractor Adaptor. Use foam or gel padding as needed to pad the
area between the patient and the Adaptor.
33. Refer to Section 4, Basic Operation, for instructions on how to utilize the IntelliPendant®
and operate the table.
CAUTION: The linkage arms of the columns raise, lower, and rotate when the table is in use.
Ensure no items are in the path of the moving arms and healthcare professionals position
themselves away from the linkage arms when the table is in motion. Failure to do so may cause
injury to the healthcare professional or possible damage to the table.
