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.

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.
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.
According to the regulations of European Standard 60601-2-46, the operating tables are designed to carry a maximum patient weight of 135kg. In case a higher charge is intended, please observe the instructions given below.
