4.3.5 Shock position
Risk of injury due to patient slipping off the couch.
This function is intended for medical emergencies only and not for daily use.
The patient position known as the shock position (Trendelenburg position), is also referred to by
others as the low head position.
Pressing the button (14) for shock position or the foot switch, if present, requires maximum atten-
tion from the user, as different actuators are activated simultaneously. All lying surfaces (backrest,
seat surface and leg section) move simultaneously, at maximum speed, in shock position.
The backrest lowers to the head-down position.
The seat surface and the leg section are swivelled all the way up.
When pressing the button or the foot switch (Trendelenburg position), if present, make sure that
the patient does not slip off the couch (see 4.6 Foot switch).
Do not leave patients unattended while in the shock position (Trendelenburg position). The patient
may lose consciousness.
Careless handling can endanger the patient and third parties or lead to damage to objects or the
couch.
The seat height (not 4223000/4223100) and the electric adjustment drive of the footrest
(only 4225000/4225100), if present, remain in the existing position.
