the table covers at any time (danger of accessible mains
voltage), this should only be carried out during maintenance
procedures. Ensure that the operation table is regularly
serviced and checked for safety at least every six months.
1.2 About this manual
1.2.1 Within the text of these ‘Instructions for use’ the
following terminology is used:
i)
Left and right
. The terms ‘left’ and ‘right’ refer to
the side of the table when viewed from the long trunk
end (i.e. the head end with the table in its normal
configuration, head section fitted to the long trunk
as shown in Fig. 2.1). This is also the patient’s ‘left’
and ‘right’ when lying on the tabletop in a supine
position, with their head on the head section and
with the table in its normal configuration.
ii)
Auto-level
. The term ‘auto-level’ is used to describe
the automatic sequence of movements to return the
table to a preprogrammed position by pressing and
holding a single handset button. This does not affect
the head or leg sections, or any other manually
operated, or powered accessory, fitted to the table.
iii)
LEDs.
This abbreviation is used when referring to
the various indicator lights on the table or handset
which are light emitting diodes (LEDs).
iv)
Cranially and Caudally.
The term ‘cranially’ (head
section moves away from column) and ‘caudally’ (leg
section moves away from column) are used to
describe tabletop movement (table in the normal
orientation). Normal table orientation is with the head
section in the long trunk, normal patient orientation is
with the patient’s head on the head section.
1.2.2 These ‘Instructions for use’ have been split into
specific sections for ease of finding information (see the
main headings in ‘Contents’). Where applicable and within
each section, adequate cross references to other sections
are made to eliminate the need to duplicate information.
1.2.3 Section 5 (Operation) details how to use the T20
Series of tables and operate their controls correctly. It is
strongly recommended that the user has read and is
familiar with sections 1, 2 and 4 before passing onto
section 5 and starting to use this operation table.
1.2.4 Within this manual the sections in bold type
headed ‘WARNING’ give guidance on possible actions that
could lead to injury of the patient, or theatre staff, and
potential damage to the operation table. Sections headed
‘CAUTION’ give guidance on possible actions that could
lead to damage of this operation table which could then
lead to injury of the patient, or theatre staff.
