WARNING – INFECTION HAZARD:
Repairs and adjustments to this equipment must be made only by STERIS or STERIS-trained service
personnel. Maintenance performed by unqualified personnel or installation of unauthorized parts could
cause personal injury, result in improper equipment performance, invalidate the warranty, or result in
costly damage. Contact STERIS regarding service options.
Regularly scheduled preventive maintenance is required for safe and reliable operation of this
equipment. Contact STERIS to schedule preventive maintenance.
Table is factory set to operate at a certain voltage. Use of any other power supply could result in serious
personal injury or table damage.
Use of this table in the presence of flammable anesthetics could result in serious personal injury or table
damage.
Placing a patient whose weight exceeds maximum patient weight limit (patient in normal orientation) of
1100 lb (499 kg) without patient posturing or tabletop slide (except raise/lower), 1000 lb (454 kg) with
patient posturing (except tabletop slide), or 600 lb (272 kg) with full patient posturing (including
tabletop slide) could result in injury to the patient and the operating room staff, and serious equipment
damage.
Failure to perform periodic inspections of the table could result in serious personal injury or equipment
damage.
The Auto Limit Sensors (ALS) System suggested alternative tabletop movement does not take into
account the type of surgery that may be in process or the environment (e.g., other equipment close by)
and might not be compatible with the surgical procedure. To avoid an action that could result in death or
serious injury to the patient and the operating room staff, and/or serious equipment damage, completely
evaluate the feasibility of the suggestion.
ALS System is not active during Backup Control. Ensure proper tabletop movements to prevent patient/
staff injury and/or equipment damage.
During Backup Control, tabletop functions are available even if table floor locks are NOT engaged.
LOCK table before moving tabletop or transferring patient.
Use of accessories, transducers or cables with this table, other than those specified, may result in
increased emissions or decreased immunity of the table.
Do not store items on table base. Doing so may result in equipment damage or inadvertent tabletop
movement placing the patient and/or user at risk of injury.
Failure to keep all personnel and equipment clear of the table before actuating any inertia-driven or
power-driven movement could result in table damage and/or personal injury.
To protect against aerosols being reflected from potentially contaminated surfaces, wear rubber or
plastic gloves, masks and eye protection, and follow OSHA blood-borne pathogens standards when
cleaning.
When cleaning/disinfecting table, do not use alcohol as it does not have sufficient cleaning/disinfection
properties.
