This document describes the BTL-5000 Cart for Devices, specifically the BTL-5000 Series, and provides assembly instructions. It is designed to hold and support BTL-5000 series medical devices, offering mobility and a structured platform for their operation.
Function Description
The BTL-5000 cart serves as a mobile and stable platform for BTL-5000 series medical devices. Its primary function is to facilitate the organized placement, secure attachment, and easy movement of these devices within a clinical or medical environment. The cart is designed to accommodate one or two BTL-5000 devices, along with a BTL vac device, and includes a drawer for storing accessories or other necessary items. The attachment mechanisms allow for flexible positioning of the devices, enabling users to adjust the angle for optimal usability. The inclusion of castors ensures mobility, while locking mechanisms on the castors provide stability when the cart is stationary.
Important Technical Specifications
The manual details various components and parts required for assembly, indicating quantities for each. Key components include:
- Wheels/Castors: 2x (suggesting a set of two castors, likely with locking mechanisms for stability).
- Mounting Plates/Supports: Various quantities (e.g., 2x, 4x, 1x) for different sections of the cart, including those for device attachment and structural support.
- Drawer Components: Includes the drawer itself (1x), drawer slides (1x each for left and right), and a drawer front panel (1x).
- Fasteners:
- DIN 912 (Socket Head Cap Screws): 4x for general assembly.
- DIN 7991 (Countersunk Head Screws): 8x for general assembly.
- V3x16 Screws: 4x for mounting the drawer.
- M4x16 Bolts: Used for fixing BTL-5000 devices to the attachment.
- M5x16 Locking Bolts: Used for fixing the attachment with the device(s) in the required angle and for locking the attachment to the cart.
- Attachments for BTL-5000 Devices:
- Attachment for one BTL-5000 Device: 1x, supplied with M4x16 bolts and pegs for device fixing, and an M5x16 manual locking bolt for angle adjustment.
- Attachment for two BTL-5000 Devices: 1x, supplied with 2x M4x16 manual bolts and 2x pegs for device fixing, and an M5x16 manual locking bolt for angle adjustment.
- BTL Vac Device Placement: The cart includes a "wooden box" designed to house the BTL vac device.
The cart's structure appears to be modular, allowing for different configurations depending on the number of devices to be mounted. The use of specific DIN standard screws indicates adherence to recognized engineering standards for fasteners.
Usage Features
- Mobility and Stability: Equipped with castors, the cart can be easily moved. The castors feature locking mechanisms to prevent unintended movement, ensuring stability during device operation.
- Device Attachment: The cart provides dedicated attachments for BTL-5000 devices. These attachments allow for secure mounting and angular adjustment of the devices. For single device attachment, one M4x16 bolt and a peg are used, along with an M5x16 locking bolt for angle. For two devices, two M4x16 bolts and two pegs are used, with an M5x16 locking bolt for angle.
- Drawer for Storage: A built-in drawer offers convenient storage for accessories, cables, or other small items, contributing to an organized workspace.
- BTL Vac Device Integration: A specific "wooden box" is integrated into the cart's design for the BTL vac device, ensuring its secure and proper placement.
- Adjustable Device Angle: The manual locking bolt (M5x16) on the attachment allows users to set the required angle of the BTL-5000 device(s), enhancing ergonomic use.
- Cable Management: The manual advises looping cables of BTL vac electrodes around the blue columns on the plexiglass, suggesting a built-in feature for cable organization.
Maintenance Features
- Low Maintenance Design: The manufacturer states that all movable parts are designed and finished in a way that, under standard use, no maintenance (greasing) is required throughout the cart's lifetime. This implies a focus on durable, self-lubricating, or low-friction materials.
- Cleaning Principles:
- General Cleaning: Foreign substances like paint can be removed from surfaces using a cloth and tepid water.
- Oil/Grease Stains: These can be removed with denatured alcohol.
- Prohibited Cleaning Agents: Users are explicitly warned not to use:
- Steel wool, metallic sponges, knives, or scouring washcloths, as these can damage surfaces.
- Strong solvents such as acetone, paint thinners, benzine, ammonia, or chloride agents, or abrasive polish, as these can damage the finishing or plexiglass components.
- Safe Handling Guidelines (Related to Maintenance and Longevity):
- Cable Management: Ensure all device conductors are securely attached and not dragged on the ground when moving the cart. Specifically, BTL vac electrode cables should be looped around the blue columns on the plexiglass. This prevents damage to cables and connectors.
- Castor Usage: Unlock castors before moving the cart and lock them once the cart is in its final position to prevent spontaneous movement. This protects the castors from undue stress and ensures stability.
- Attachment Security: Always carefully tighten the rotary handle of the attachment when setting the device angle to prevent spontaneous movement of the BTL-5000 device. After positioning the attachment with the device(s), lock it with the M5x16 locking bolt located on the rear side. These steps ensure the longevity of the attachment mechanism and the safety of the devices.
- Refer to Device Manuals: For specific instructions on use, secure handling, maintenance, and cleaning of the BTL devices themselves, users are directed to consult the User's Manuals supplied with those devices.
The BTL-5000 cart is designed for practical use in a medical setting, emphasizing ease of assembly, secure device integration, mobility, and straightforward cleaning procedures, all while requiring minimal ongoing maintenance.
