Prior to use, all personnel that may operate this

table must be instructed in the correct opera-

tional procedures. This table is designed for

use by trained and qualified personnel for hu-

man medical purposes only.

Initial use should not begin until after the users

have been instructed by the manufacturer's

representative.

A routine instructional program must be imple-

mented by the facility for proper usage instruc-

tions for all personnel that may operate this

table.

The maximum lifting capacity of the 3501B

EZ Slide table is 700 pounds and the maximum

articulation weight capacity is 600 pounds.

When lifting or articulating large patients, pay

close attention to the patient position as well as

the positioning guidelines and limitations listed

in the operation instructions.

The extreme positioning capabilities of the 3501B

E-Z Slide Table requires special attention for pos-

sible interference points when using multiple func-

tion positioning. As with the operation of any

surgical table, a certain amount of care should be

exercised to position the patient safely. Although

the thick pads and sheets substantially protect the

patient, pinch points, located at the joints of the top

section should always be considered. BE SURE

THAT THE ARMS, HANDS AND FINGERS OF

THE PATIENT AND THOSE OF THE OPERAT-

ING ROOM PERSONNEL ARE CLEAR OF ALL

MOVING PARTS BEFORE MOVING THE TABLE.

Proper restraints should always be used for patient

safety.

Certain accessories such as the Uro-Drain Tray,

Armboards and X-Ray top can be damaged when

changing the position of the table top sections.

Always look first to see if a desired movement is

going to interfere with any accessories in use.

The operator has the ultimate responsibility of

preventing damage to the table and surrounding

equipment or possible injury to the patient or staff.

The operator must ensure proper positioning is

maintained to prevent compromising respiration,

nerve pathways or circulation.

In general, common sense will dictate when there

is a potential hazard.

The following precautions should be reviewed

by all personnel prior to operating the table.

WARNING

Indicates a possibility of personal injury.

CAUTION

Indicates a possibility of damage to

equipment.

NOTE

Indicates important facts or helpful hints.

2-8. Emergency Brake Release.

In case of a power failure or an electrical problem

within the table, the emergency brake release

system can be used to move the table. The control

knob for this function is located on the side of the

table base and is identified by an EMERGENCY

BRAKE RELEASE label. Turn the knob counter-

clockwise to release the brakes. See figure 2-17.

WARNING

•DO NOT unlock brakes when a patient

is on the table. An uneven patient

weight load may cause instability.

•If circumstances demand table brakes

to be unlocked, the patient must be

centered and evenly distributed on the

table top (i.e. supine or prone position)

with the table lowered to its lowest

height position. The maximum patient

weight should not exceed 500 pounds.

Table top slide must be centered (indi-

cated by a green LED light on the

pendant control) prior to unlocking

brakes. Patient's head must be on the

head section. Head section must be

attached in its normal orientation to the

table's back section.

•Prior to unlocking brakes, check for

obstructions on the floor that might

prevent the table from moving smoothly

to new location. Relock the brakes im-

mediately once the final position is

reached and before commencing sur-

gery. Table brakes should remain locked

at all times if patient weight exceeds

500 pounds.

Figure 2-17. Emergency Brake Release
