10. Using the Patient Platform Traverse
The patient platform is designed to traverse longitudinally, towards both the head end
and the foot end. The traverse function enables full ‘C’ arm coverage, and improved
surgical access from both the head end and foot end.
Firstly, select the function using the rocker switch; the patient platform can now be
traversed using the left and right buttons on the handset.
The mattress and patient platform are made from x-ray translucent materials. The areas
of ‘C’ arm access are illustrated in fig. 5, with the trolley traversed in both directions.
Observe that when the patient platform is traversed in either direction, the mid-section
static frame arm is revealed. In the neutral position the traversing section of the patient
platform aligns with the static arm. The trolley should be returned to the ‘neutral’
position once the procedure has been completed.
The patient platform should be returned to the neutral position once the
procedure has been completed, see above.
CAUTION: Ensure that there are no obstructions in the way before traversing
the patient platform.
CAUTION: With the articulating leg section articulated downwards, the
patient platform cannot be traversed towards the head end passed the
neutral position.
