2.6 Malfunction caused by other devices
The medical or non-medical devices from other manufacturers
may use the same frequency range as the operating table and
infra-red remote control. If pieces of equipment with the same
frequency range or a multiple of the frequency range is used in the
same room, they can influence each other. This may therefore
cause malfunctions of the operating table.
Examples of potential sources of interference:
– Electronic control gear (ECG) for fluorescent lamps
– HF surgical devices
– Wireless remote control for other devices (e.g. monitors)
– Very bright indoor lighting
2.7 What to do in the event of a malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, the operating table has the following
functions available, depending on the problem that has occurred:
– Emergency mode
– Emergency unlocking of the parking brake
– Reset
Regardless of this, if the electrical function on the operating table
fails, the operating table should be disconnected from the power
supply and Technical Customer Service notified.
2.7.1 Emergency mode
If there is a defect in the central operating table control system,
emergency operation makes it possible to complete the ongoing
surgery and remove the patient.
Restriction:
In emergency mode, the operating table can only be used with
limited functions:
– The operating table can only be controlled via the column
keypad.
– Functions move at a lower speed and a continuous warning
tone sounds.
– Leveling is restricted. With the Level position function, only the
column functions are zeroed. The tabletop must be manually
set to the level position via the individual functions.
– The running gear is not supported in emergency mode.
The emergency mode must only be activated in case of a serious
malfunction of the operating table. Please contact Baxter
Technical Customer Services for the necessary repairs. The
defective operating table must be barred from further use.
