SPECIAL USER ATTENTION
The extreme positioning capabilities of the 6500
Series Table requires special attention for possible
interference points when using multiple function
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 OPERATING
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.
In general, common sense will dictate when there
is a potential hazard.
WARNING
DO NOT unlock brakes when a patient
is on the table. An uneven patient
weight load may cause instability.
NOTE
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
lever for this function is located on the
side of the table base and is identified
by an EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASE
label. Turn the lever counterclockwise
to release the brakes.
WARNING
•The Emergency Brake Release Valve
must be closed and tightened (clockwise) before activating any hydraulic
function.
•If the Emergency Brake Release Valve
has been operated, the UNLOCK button on the pendant control will have to
be pressed before brakes will lock again.
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.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock. Make sure
power cord is disconnected prior to
accessing fuses.
NOTE
Activating any function button will activate the brake system. Using the TABLE
UP function to set the brakes provides
a visual assurance that the brakes are
locked. As the brake cylinders are
extending, the entire table will move
slightly. When the table top begins to
elevate, the brakes are fully locked.
NOTE
•If brakes fail to set, make sure the
Emergency Brake Release Lever is tight
(clockwise).
•If the Emergency Brake Release Valve
has been operated, the UNLOCK button on the pendant control will have to
be pressed before brakes will lock again.
NOTE
•Turning the Main Power Switch ON will
change the table operation to 120 VAC
power regardless of the position of the
BATT button.
•If Battery operation is activated while
Main Power Switch is ON there will be
approximately a 4 second delay before
Battery operation activates.
NOTE
The table will operate correctly on battery power with the power cord connected to a wall outlet or disconnected.

WARNING
To maximize patient safety, utilize
proper restraint methods during extreme
trendelenburg positioning.
WARNING
To maximize patient safety, utilize
proper restraint methods during extreme
lateral tilt positioning.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the kidney lift, a
safety interlock prevents the back section from going above horizontal if the
kidney lift is not all the way down.
WARNING
The leg section may hit the table base
or the floor if both the leg and elevation
systems are placed in their full down
position.
NOTE
When REFLEX button is activated, if
Kidney Bridge is up, the back section
will not go above horizontal.
NOTE
To prevent damage to the kidney lift, a
safety interlock prevents the kidney lift
from going up if the back section is
raised above horizontal.
NOTE
Elevation, kidney lift, and brake system
functions are not affected by the return
to level function.
WARNING
If the patient position is reversed on the
table (patient's back on the leg section),
the patient weight limit is 250 lbs.
•If the Emergency Brake Release Valve
has been operated, the UNLOCK button on the pendant control will have to
be pressed before brakes will lock again.

SPECIAL USER ATTENTION
NOTE
Normal table top position is with the
head (and back) section over the power
cord end of the base.
WARNING
Always lock the table top in position
after rotation. DO NOT rotate the top
with an unevenly distributed patient
weight load as instability may result.
WARNING
•Make sure the TOP ROTATION LOCK
HANDLE is tightened and the brakes
are set before transferring the patient.
•Exercise caution with the table top
rotated 90° to the base since an improperly distributed patient load may cause
the table to be tipped over. A table
support rod is required for 90° positioning. See Specialty Positioning.
NOTE
Always follow current AORN Journal
Guidelines to ensure proper cleaning
and disinfection procedure.
CAUTION
Caution should be taken when cleaning
the table to prevent excessive fluid entry into electrical connectors.

SECTION IV MAINTENANCE
4-1. Preventive Maintenance
The following preventive maintenance checks and
services are recommended to ensure the serviceability and proper operation of your SKYTRON
Surgical Table, and should only be performed by
qualified SKYTRON trained personel.
a. During normal cleaning, a general visual
examination should be made checking for leaks,
loose bolts or parts, and cracked, chipped, or
missing paint. Any necessary repairs should be
made. Refer to the 6500 Maintenance Manual.
b. Semi-annually the following checks and services should be performed:
1. Check all hydraulic fittings, mini-valves and
slave cylinders for proper operation and
any signs of leaks.
2. Check the hydraulic speed controls and
adjust if necessary.
3. Pressure check (with a gauge) the pressure relief valve.
4. Check all mechanical adjustments and adjust as necessary.
5. Check hydraulic fluid level.
6. Lubricate the slider assembly.
The following procedures should be followed when
cleaning the surgical table between cases.
Place table top in level position prior to starting
cleaning procedure.
WARNING
Always follow OSHA blood-borne pathogens standards for protective clothing,
including gloves, masks and eye protection when cleaning the surgical table.
Remove major contaminants from the table with
disposable materials following appropriate biohazard waste disposal procedures.
Remove all table pads and place them on a flat
surface for cleaning.
CAUTION
Thoroughly read and follow the
manufacturer's directions for all cleaning fluids. DO NOT use cleaners containing phenolics.
Apply cleaning fluid liberally to top and sides of
each pad and wipe with a clean lint-free cloth.
Using a clean, damp, lint-free cloth, wipe the pads
to remove the cleaning fluid.
Using a clean, dry, lint-free cloth, wipe the pads to
remove all moisture.
7. Check function of foot leg release levers,
(release knob early models). Lubricate as
necessary.
4-2. Cleaning Recommendations
NOTE
Always follow current AORN Journal
Guidelines to ensure proper cleaning
and disinfection procedure.
CAUTION
Caution should be taken when cleaning
the table to prevent excessive fluid entry into electrical connectors.
16
Repeat the steps to clean the bottom of the each
pad.
CAUTION
When using spray cleaners DO NOT
spray fluids directly into electrical receptacles or micro switches.
Repeat cleaning procedure for all table surfaces
including the top, sides, elevation column, base
and all accessories.
CAUTION
Before replacing pads on the table, make
sure the pads and all mating surfaces
are completely dry. Moisture trapped
between the pads and mating surfaces
may cause distortion of table tops.
When the cleaning procedure is complete, replace
all pads and accessories as applicable.
Remove pendant control from table side rail and
apply cleaning solution to the pendant control and
cord.
Use a clean cloth dampened with water to remove
cleaning solution.
Use another clean damp cloth to remove any
remaining residue.
Install pendant control on side rail for storage when
cleaning procedure is complete.
