DO NOT use the table to transport
a patient. There is a risk of injury
to the patient and sta if the patient
should fall during transport.

heavy objects. There is a risk of
injury to sta if the object should
fall during transport.
To maximize patient safety, utilize
proper restraint methods during
extreme Trendelenburg positioning.
The table pad set must be in place
and the patient must be positioned
to avoid touching any of the metal
sections of the table to protect
against any possible electrical shock
injury.
Consult with manufacturer's
instructions when using high
frequency surgical equipment,
cardiace debrillator, and cardiac
defibrillator monitors. Improper
operation procedures may cause a
shock hazard or cause an equipment
malfunction.
When an antistatic pathway is
required, the table has to be used
on an antistatic oor.
The antistatic properties of the table
are dependent on the use of the
original pad set which was furnished
with the table or an alternate
approved replacement.
Personal injury to patient or sta
may result from a lack of proper
maintenance of this equipment.
Always follow OSHA/EASHW blood-
borne pathogens standards for
protective clothing, including gloves,
masks, and eye protection when
cleaning the surgical table.
DO NOT disassemble or modify the
table. Unauthorized disassembly may
cause electric shock or malfunction.
Consult with Skytron before reversing
a patient on the table.
