If the table top width is not sufficient for an
ergonomic position, the patient may be injured.
The table width extenders (1001.75A0/ 76A0) can
be mounted on the side rails to ensure an
ergonomic patient position.
Only one infusion stand (1009.01C0), one
anaesthesia screen (1002.57A0), one wristlet
(1002.24C0) and one arm protector (1002.25A0)
may be mounted to the table width extenders
(1001.75A0/76A0).
When positioning the patient, be sure to observe
that the patient is lying above the centre of the
column in the lateral direction (see sketch).

It is not permissible to mount another width ex-
tender to a table width extender (1001.75A0 /
76A0).
