22. Clean the bellows and sheet metal casing from all sides so
there are no residues.
23. Clean the running gear thoroughly from above so there are
no residues.
24. Visually inspect the surfaces of the entire operating table.
The surfaces must be free of residue and any visible
contamination. Clean any surfaces with contamination still
visible again.
Only when the operating table, all pads and tabletop sections are
completely dry can the disinfection process begin.
5.5 Disinfecting the operating table
1. Prepare a suitable disinfectant and disinfection method.
During disinfection, ensure that all surfaces are adequately
moistened at all times.
2. Prepare an additional resting surface for the pads. Disinfect
the resting surface. Note the disinfectant’s dwell time.
3. The pads and tabletop sections are still on the disinfected
resting surface. Disinfect the uppermost side of the pad and
tabletop sections.
4. Disinfect all hook couplings on the operating table.
Move the adjustable hook couplings all the way up and
disinfect them. Then move the coupling points all the way
down and disinfect them again.
5. Disinfect the coupling points on the tabletop sections.
6. Once the coupling points are dry, attach the tabletop
sections to the operating table.
