OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PINCHING HAZARD: Extreme tabletop articulation creates pinch points. Before
operating the table, review illustrations in Figure 5-1, PINCH POINTS.
PINCHING AND TIPPING HAZARD: If user is not completely familiar with the controls
for patient positioning and table operation, patient could sustain injury.
TIPPING HAZARD: The maximum patient weight limit for both normal and reverse
orientation on B2AV800 Series table with floor locks locked is 704lb (320kg) (please
refer to 3.6.5 "Load Capacity"). Do not exceed the limit. For maximum safe patient
weight for any position other than those shown in the B2AV800 catalog, please
contact your local NUVO representative.
TIPPING HAZARD: The nominal patient weight capacity is tested according to the
Standard IEC60601-2-46 Additional sub clause: 21.101. The Standard's weight
distribution calculation model is based on 190 cm stature. Patients weighing over
600 lbs (272 kilos) who are shorter than 6 ft. 2.8" (190 cm) do not fit the criteria for the
Standard's weight distribution calculation model. Read Section 3.6.5 "Load Capacity"
for important information concerning tipping hazards.
PATIENT INJURY HAZARD: A potential hazard exists when the surgical table is used
together with high-frequency surgical equipment such as cardiac defibrillators and
cardiac defibrillator-monitors. In certain conditions the antistatic properties of the
mattress pads could become insufficient to prevent burns to the patient's skin. Care
must be taken to ensure that the insulation between the pad and the patient's skin is
maintained, including monitoring the bed sheet for excessive moisture, which could
compromise this insulation. Carefully read the manufacturers' instructions of these
products relating to patient's safety.
PATIENT INJURY OR FALLING HAZARD: Improper positioning of patient may result
in possible patient injury and table failure. During surgery, health-care professional
present at the time is responsible for the patient's safety.
FALLING HAZARD: Make sure the floor locks are engaged before placing patient on
the table.
FALLING HAZARD: When a patient is on the table, do not release floor locks.
TRIPPING HAZARD: Make sure to route the power cord so that it will not create a
WARNING!
