Danger! Patients run the risk of getting hurt if the longitudinal shift function is released with the table positioned in Trendelenburg or Reverse Trendelenburg angle of more than 5°. Reduce the inclination angle of the table-top before activating the longitudinal shift function.

Danger! If the operating table OPX mobilis is used in the presence of flammable anaesthetic mixtures, the floor must be electrically conductive.

g h

Caution! The operating table is only stable on a level floor. Choose a horizontal and safe site of installation for the operating table.

Danger! For tables with longitudinal shift feature, the position of the table-top will bear influence on the stability of the operating table. Always shift the table-top into such a position, within the limits of the specific application, as to improve the stability of the table.

If there is an extension device attached to the table or if the patient is positioned in kneeelbow position, the stability of the table will be diminished. Improve the stability of the table by moving the table into such a position as to make the double castors at the foot end of the table point to the foot end.

Caution! In case the table-top is adjusted into extreme positions, there is danger of jamming one’s finger in certain points. Do not grab below the operating table or behind the frames of the table-top elements.

Caution! In order to ensure a gentle patient positioning when using the add-on kidney bridge, use an additional pad on top of the break. (This pad comes together with the add-on kidney bridge.)

Caution! If the operating table is positioned on a moist or freshly cleaned floor, please keep in mind that the frictional forces will be diminished. The operating table may therefore be moved by external force even if the double castors are blocked. Make sure before starting an intervention that the operating table is in a sufficiently stable position.

Introduction

h h h

An unfavourable position of the double castors may diminish the stability of the table. It may help to move the operating table in such a way as to raise the stability. Please see the examples given in the illustration.

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.

In the case of normal patient orientation and table-top in mid-position (for operating tables with longitudinal shift function) the operating table may be charged with a patient weight of max. 185 kg. Upon patient transfer, or when letting the patient mount the operating table, make sure that the table-top is loaded mainly above the table column. Familiarize yourself with the reactions of the operating table under this kind of charge before starting a surgical intervention.

Description of the operating table

The operating tables OPX mobilis can be equipped differently, depending on the model. All operating tables are mobile. They are equipped with four electrically conductive swivel-type double castors with central brake. The operating table models with a “C” in their type designation have got an additional directional castor. All operating tables are equipped with mechanically operated hydraulic pumps. The operating table of the 200 model series have got two hydraulic adjustment functions: Height adjustment Raise/Lower and Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg. The tables of the 300 model series have got an additional lateral adjustment function. Operating tables with an “E” in their type designation are equipped with an additional electrically-driven hydraulic pump. In this case the operating table is equipped with a hand-held remote control unit as well, and with rechargeable batteries installed inside the floor pan. Operating tables with an “L” in their type designation are equipped with a table-top with longitudinal shift function. By means of this feature, such parts of the patient’s body can be screened which under normal circumstances are inaccessible to the C-arm equipment. Operating tables with a “G” in their type designation are equipped with an integrated kidney bridge. The integrated kidney bridge is adjusted hydraulically by means of the foot pump.

h h

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.

Safety devices 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. All operating tables can be adapted optimally to various applications by means of accessories.

All operating tables are equipped with electrically conductive swivel-type double castors, with (normally) electrically conductive pads, and with a potential equalization socket.
