OPERATION TABLE
5.2.5 Changing sections during a procedure
The table sections can be changed during a surgical
procedure but extreme care must be taken to adequately
support the patient throughout such adjustments to the
table configuration. Also note the warning at the beginning
of section 5.2.
When replacing a section during a procedure take extreme
care not to trap any part of the patient, surgical drapes,
surgical equipment, cords or tubing. Also note the warnings
in section 4.1.
It is suggested that the mattress is located onto the section
before fitting the section onto the tabletop when
repositioning it during a procedure (allow for the extra
weight).
5.2.6 Attaching/Removing mattresses
WARNING
Larger mattress sections can be heavier and
more bulky than normally envisaged (see
section 7.0 and the note in section 9.1). Take
care when handling to avoid stain injuries, use
two people if required.
Only use Eschmann mattresses and ensure
they are free of cuts and tears, replacing as
required. Do not use without a mattress fitted
to the table.
Mattresses are attached to the tabletop by two mushroom
shaped pins per section. These pins ensure that the
mattress stays in place on the tabletop in all table
configurations. To ensure that the mattress is correctly
located onto the pins proceed as follows:-
i The larger mattress sections can be bulky to handle
individually if of small stature, use two people to avoid
strain.
ii Ensure the mattress is the correct one for the section
you are fitting it to and orientate it relative to the
tabletop so the mushroom pins are lined up with the
mating recesses in the underside of the mattress.
iii Lower the mattress onto the tabletop and gently ease
one location recess at a time onto and over the
respective mushroom pin. The mattress should lie
flat on the tabletop when this has been achieved
without evidence that the pin is holding the mattress
off the tabletop surface.
To remove mattresses reverse the above procedure gently
easing the mattress off the pins, one pin at a time. Ensure
minimal sideways force is applied to the mattress during
this procedure to prolong mattress life.
Always ensure that mattresses are free from any cuts and
abrasions, such damage can compromise patient safety
by promoting cross contamination. Replace worn
mattresses with new ones as soon as possible.
5.3 Powered and electrical functions.
This section is split into four sections as follows:
5.3.1 Batteries and mains
5.3.2 Powered motions
5.3.3 Using the handset
5.3.4 Using the standby control panel
5.3.5 Changing fuses
Note: Whilst it is safe to use the table when connected to
the mains it is good practice to use the tables batteries to
power the table, rather than connect the table to the mains.
5.3.1 Batteries and mains
5.3.1.1 Battery charging introduction
WARNING
Ensure that the mains supply used is suitable
(i.e. 100-240V, 50-60Hz) before attaching the
table to the mains supply. Only use the mains
cord supplied with the table and charge the
batteries daily.
CAUTION
Continued use of the table batteries when
‘critically low’ can damage the batteries. Charge
batteries regularly to maintain peak performance.
Do not remove the table from charge until both
charging LED’s are ‘green’ to avoid false battery
level indication on the handset.
Batteries within the table base are mains rechargeable and
should power the table continuously for 3 days normal use
(from a full charge). However to maintain peak battery
performance the table batteries should be placed on charge
at the end of each day or shift. Daily charging should be
encouraged as good practice, do not wait for either ‘low’
battery indication before charging. Battery charge level
is indicated by LEDs on the corded handset, see Fig. 5.10.
The table should be placed on charge as detailed in section
5.3.1.2. Also see battery management sheet Appendix 3.
Note: Over the first few charge cycles (from new) battery
capacity increases until they reach a stable maximum level.
Batteries should be checked for adequate charge before
using the table for any surgical procedure. The corded
handset has two battery level indicators, one for the main
battery and one for the standby battery, see Fig. 5.10.
These indicators will only operate when the corded handset
is plugged into the table and the table is switched ‘on’.
Each indicator contains three coloured LEDs, these
indicate the information shown over the page.
