Thorax X-Ray Imaging; Thorax Drainages - Getinge Arjohuntleigh RotoRest System Operating Instructions Manual

Thorax X-ray Imaging

1. Move the bed into one of the two maximum lockable lateral positions and lock in
place. Use one hand to compress the spring-loaded detents on the thorax access
hatch. The hatch will open. With your other hand, allow the access hatch to slide
down until it is resting on the frame rail. Remove the clearance cushion and place it
on the bed frame.
2. Insert the cassette into the gap previously occupied by the clearance cushion. A
standard 35 cm x 43 cm X-ray cassette fits into the access hatch.
3. Close and lock the access hatch by pushing together the spring-loaded detents
and then releasing them again once the access hatch has closed. The bed can now
be moved into the horizontal position for X-ray imaging. To remove the cassette,
proceed as described above in reverse order.

Thorax Drainages

The bed is fitted with special openings for thorax drainages at the corners of the arm access
hatches. To prevent fluid reflux, the drainages should be guided through the bed platform
from above.
The respiratory tube holder is intended for fastening sensitive devices such as
intracranial catheters.
An accessory of the traction bracket assembly is the intercranial tube holder.
The intercranial tube holder or any accessory of the traction bracket assembly is
not intended to be used as a handle to steer or move the bed, this would not be
considered normal use.
To guide the drainage tube through the opening, lower the arm access hatch and guide the
thorax drainage system through the opening from above. Make sure that the tube is correctly
positioned in the recess on the arm access hatch. Now carefully close the access hatch.
Once the drainage tubes have been guided through the openings in the arm access hatches,
they can be routed along the frame beneath the hatches up to the head end of the bed, where
the thorax drainage system can be positioned.
