16 User manual for medifa 5000 operating table Version 2.1
Padding
ATTENTION
Do not use if the padding surface is damaged.
Operating the medifa 5000 with non-approved padding is prohibited and will result in loss of CE conformity.
The padding supports are removable to facilitate cleaning and disinfection.
The paddings are adapted by fitting the supports provided on the underside of the padding onto the studs pro-
vided on the upper frame of the table.
The padding prevents pressure necrosis of the patient. Medically trained personnel must eliminate the residual
risk through active decubitus prophylaxis when positioning the patient. The padding is antistatic and, when
fastened properly, complies with the normative regulations.
ATTENTION
Safety Instructions
• Only use the original medifa padding!
• Do not place the patient on the medifa 5000 without a padding.
• When the table components are attached according to instructions, the padding edges of the medifa 5000
are aligned.
• Do not insert any sharp-edged objects into the padding or place them on the padding.

The paddings are available in SF or PUR version. The padding is attached to the padded plate with stud-mount-
ing holes.
9. Padding
9.1 SF padding
The padding is made of 80 mm thick viscoelastic foam with a 3-fold sandwich construction and a non-remova-
ble, electrically conductive upholstery fabric.
The padding is disinfectable and washable as well as radiotransparent. Furthermore, the poster is latex-free,
breathable as well as antistatic. The seams are ultrasonically welded so that - unlike sewn seams or the use of
zippers - penetration of liquids and pathogens is prevented.
This makes the padding support easy to clean.
9.2 PUR padding
The padding supports are made of a special integral foam mixture foamed onto a plastic carrier. They are made
in special colours to meet even the most demanding comfort requirements of the patient.
Ergonomic shapes and rounded edges characterise the design and support the functionality. The paddings are
X-ray transparent, electrically conductive and comply with DIN 53596.
