Patient Positioning Warnings

CAUTION
To avoid patient injury, always assist the patient on or off the table at
the beginning or end of an exam.
CAUTION
Make sure that patient connected lines, tubes, etc. are long enough to
allow full travel of the system and will not become pinched or pulled.
WARNING
During patient procedures, ensure the patient's head, hands and feet
are completely within the tabletop area. If any portion of the patient's
body extends over the edge of the tabletop, serious injury may result.
CAUTION
The technologist must remain close to the patient when the remote con-
trol is in use.
WARNING
The digital table maximum supported weight, with full tabletop func-
tionality is 320 kg (705lbs.).
Exceeding the limit may cause equipment damage or injury to the
patient.
WARNING
The standard table shall have a maximum evenly distributed load capa-
bility of 250kg (552lbs).
Exceeding the limit may cause equipment damage or injury to the
patient.
CAUTION
The table is designed to remain stable under normal conditions, but
when necessary for special patient loads and positioning, it will move
when sufficient force is applied. If no longitudinal movement or if abnor-
mal patient loading is required, modifications must be made to ensure
the tabletop is locked longitudinally into position.
