The entire surgical ward staff should be familiar with the correct use of the PROMERIX operating table as well as all warnings and observations concerning it. Warnings and observations found in this instruction manual are indicated as follows: WARNING! Please observe to ensure patient safety.
Page 6
When using high frequency surgical equipment take care to prevent the patient coming into contact with metal parts of the operating table or accessories. Do not place the patient on wet or damp surfaces or electri- cally conductive pads. Hazard of burn injuries! Combustible anaesthetic gases must not be used with the Promerix operating table.
Page 7
Promerix operating table has been tested to EN 60601-1-2 to ensure proper electromagnetic compatibility. Other products used in the vicinity of Promerix operating table should also comply with this standard. If they do not comply, interference between products in unintended responses may occur. Please contact the appropriate manufacturer if any problems arise.
Page 8
WARNINGS, NOTES AND INSTRUCTIONS CAUTIONS! If the operating table has been in the cold, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least 6 hours before recharging the battery or switching on, to allow any condensation formed to evaporate. Recharge the battery prior to use.

Velcro tapes on table top plates can be cleaned with pressurized air. Velcro tape can also be replaced; spare parts and instructions available from Merivaara service dpt. Floor lock can be deactivated with a release knob placed at the table base if normal deactivating with hand control unit or override panel can’t be done.
EN 60601-2-46, EN 60601-1-2 ( EMC ) and EN 60601-1. The table complies with directive 93/42/EEC ( MDD ) product class I, and bears a CE marking based on this classification. 2.1 Intended use Promerix Operating Table is intended for general surgical use. It is also well suited for: • Day surgery • ENT surgery •...
540 mm, ( 21 1/4 inch ) without rails and length 2100 mm ( 82 inch ). Table top plates are x-ray translu- cent material. Promerix can be adjusted with cable connected hand control unit, IR-hand control unit or foot switch. Operat- ing table can also be adjusted with override panel in case of electronical malfunction ( hand control unit or table microprocessor defective ).
Do not pull or push the shields of back- and leg section joints. Check during adjustment that there is no for- eign obstacles between the shields. Surface of the Promerix mattresses is electrically conductive. Cleaning of the mattresses should be done with neutral detergent( pH 7-8 ) and warm water applied with a single use wipe.
• Check the mains cord condition. • Promerix operating table must be cleaned carefully after each surgical procedure! 4.1.2 Monthly service • Clean and lubricate guide pins, latches, spring-loaded pins and pivoting points with light machine oil or spray vaceline.
• Check hand control unit and foot switch cables, connector and plug. 4.1.3 Annual service • Perform all daily and monthly service actions. • Check the functioning of table section's latches. • Check all cables and connectors, regarding injuries (kinks, cracks, wear) •...

8. HYDRAULICS 8.1 Safety information Before disconnecting any of the hydraulic lines, fittings, joints, hoses etc. be sure the attached table sections are removed and the floor lock is OFF position. Failure of these precautions may cause an uncontrolled oil spray and damage to the table or personal injury.
Use new sealing washers, if you open a hydraulic connection. After you have replaced any parts, do a functional test with PromeriX service software without a patient on the table or manually run with hand control all the movements to their min. and max. positions ( min. 5 times).
8.2.1 Removing the hydraulic unit • Remove casing screws, look at the page 23, lift out the casing brackets. • Disconnect main cord plug from the MPC. • Disconnect cables, and banjo fittings (2) 2 pcs. • Remove screws (3) 2 pcs from the fixing plate (4) and lift out the hydraulic unit (1) sideways. 8.2.2 Hydraulic oil When checking oil level, first adjust table top to the horizontal and uppermost position.

7. Unscrew the banjo bolts (hexagon 14 mm) at each hydraulic connection. 8. Unplug the electric connectors at the solenoids. 9. Unscrew the two M5 screws of the base block with an Allen wrench (4 mm). 10. Assemble the new manifold and tighten the two hexagon socket screws with a torque of 5,5±0,6Nm. 11.
18. Move all articulation at least 5 times to bleed the system (retract and extend the cylinders completely). 19. Check, if there is external leakage at the hose connections or at the flange connections of the valves. 20. Check the oil level at the tank of the power unit and fill it with filtrated hydraulic fluid Aral Vitam DE 32, if required.

6. Fix the lower TLC3 valve with a belt to the base block (4). 7. Remove the plastic caps and loosen the three M5 nuts (3). 8. Unscrew the three tensioning bolts. 9. Pull out the faulty valve. 10. Assemble the new valve at the same position. Check the three o-rings at the flange connection of all valves.
8.3.4 Changing of solenoid coil at SP1 and TLC3 (valve system) The resistance of the coil is 66.4 ± 10%. If there is a short-circuit or a break you can exchange only the Ω coil of the solenoid (without opening the hydraulic system). The change can be done at an assembled valve block.

Joint locking screws and accessory rail fixing screws are M8 HEX screws. Use 5 mm Allen key. Fix the new plates in correct order! Ensure that there is no load or table sections attached, when perform this operation. If any hesitation, contact Merivaara service department.
9.3 Oil Hydraulic oil used in Promerix: ARAL Vitam DE 32 or BP Energol HLP-HM 32. Hydraulic oil should be dis- posed of according to local waste regulations. •...
9.4 Electronic waste and batteries Electronic components and devices should be disposed of according to local waste regulations. Symbol informs that the product contains electronic devices and cannot be disposed with general waste. If so, the product must be recycled separa- tely and cannot be disposed of along with general waste.
