1. Introduction

Intended Use

The Surgical C-Arm Table 840 is designed for image-guided procedures where stability, access,
and precise, quiet, vibration-free positioning are essential. A cantilevered low attenuation
carbon fiber tabletop, with choice of contoured or rectangular design, accommodates portable
or ceiling-suspended C-Arms. The contoured top provides ample workspace for
anesthesiologists, yet the narrowness required for cervical procedures. The rectangular top
offers additional space to allow for superior image quality for long-leg runoff studies. Select the
top that best suits the requirements to achieve optimum image resolution.

Indications for Use

The extra-large radiolucent area, free-float X-Y tabletop, motorized control of height, lateral
roll, Trendelenburg motions and the catheter tray extension make the Surgical C-Arm Table -
840 ideal for cardiovascular procedures. The radiolucent area is free of cross members,
allowing full fluoroscopic visualization and unobstructed C-Arm positioning. Functional design
provides complete access with reduced radiation exposure to clinicians. Patient comfort and
stability are assured by two-inch thick table padding and three adjustable straps with hook and
loop fastening. The contoured tabletop features a face cutout for prone positioning.

Contraindications

The Catheter Tray Extension is not radiolucent and not suitable for patient support.

Control Made Easy

The portable hand-held and foot operated controllers ensure quick and safe tabletop
positioning, and can be positioned from any point around the table. Both controllers offer the
freedom to adjust height, lateral roll and Trendelenburg motions. The hand-held controller
provides the back to level function. The foot-operated controller also releases the tabletop for
X-Y positioning and is ideal when hands are busy with other functions.

Free-Float Feature

A mushroom top release for the free-float feature is located at the end of a handgrip.
Both AC and battery power are standard. When operating on battery, there are no power cords
to catch on feet or block table wheels. Battery charging can be accomplished during off hours
by plugging in the AC power cord. An optional battery with separate charging unit can provide
continuous cordless operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Remove battery if storing the table for a prolonged time.
