User manual for medifa 5000 operating table Version 2.1
The complete table top is moved up or down with the height adjustment.
The height is adjusted by means of foot hydraulics, triggered by pumping movements. The table top is moved
upwards by operating the foot lever [1]. The table top is lowered by pushing up the foot lever [1]. For each
patient ascent and descent, the medifa 5000 is moved to the lowest position; in the case of patient ascent, the
medifa 5000 is then moved to the working height with the patient lying on it.
Adjustment range: 750 mm to 1000 mm
CAUTION
Patient hazard!
• The ascending or descending may only be carried out in the area of the lifting column via the seat plate!
• Do not step over the plate segments when on or off the medifa 5000!
CAUTION
Patient hazard!
When the table top is lowered, it may collide with the bogie, the floor or other objects which are located under
the table top and which are possibly covered by cloths or documents. Pay particular attention to the plate seg-
ments that are shifted downwards! Clear the area under table top or adjust the corresponding plate segments
(leg/back plate joints) further up. Then move the table top down
