operating transfer table for imaging-assisted surgery - CMAX X-RAY
[4]
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Any serious incident that occurs in relation to this medical
device should be reported to STERIS and the competent
authority of the member state in which the user and/or patient
is established.
!
Warning: The modification of the medical device without
manufacturer authorisation is prohibited.
!
Pinch points
! When floating is enabled, moving the floating tabletop can cause pinch points to appear
which can injure the patient or the surgical team. Users must therefore be aware of the
risks and monitor the following areas in particular
Precaution during the movements
! Before any movement activation, be sure that there is no risk of contact or collision with
an object, on equipment or a person.
Floor lock
! Even if the table is not locked to the floor, certain tabletop movements are still possible.
Lock the table to the floor before positioning the patient and starting the surgical
procedure.
! Do not try to move the locked table.
! Once the table is locked to the floor, ensure that it is stable. Move it if necessary to find a
flatter floor surface.
Moving the table with a patient on it
! The table can only be unlocked if the floating tabletop is not activated.
! When moving or adjusting the table with a patient on it, the CMAX™ X-RAY table must be in
the transport position, i.e., the following conditions must be applied:
•
The tabletop must be horizontal and centred on the column
•
Only lateral slide of the tabletop of up to 50 mm is authorised.
•
The tabletop must be lowered to a height of less than 900 mm
•
The patient must be in normal position and the total weight (patient + accessories) must
not exceed 230kg.
! Never attempt to unlock the table and to move it with the patient if it is not in transport
position. The table may tilt.
! It is strongly recommended that you use barriers or another system to hold the patient in
place.
! Ensure that the battery is correctly charged before moving the table.
! Before going anywhere, ensure that there are no obstacles along the way you wish to use.
The table is not intented to cross threshold, to ascend or to descend step. Always move
the table very carefully.
! During motorised transfer with CMAX™ X-RAY, adapt your speed to the environment (i.e.
corridor width, corner angles, doors, wall, etc.).Take care when moving back.
! Do not keep objects on the base as they may fall during motorised manoeuvres and cause
jamming when lowering the column’s sliding covers.
Switching the table on
! Every time you turn the table on, check that the pre-selected patient orientation
corresponds to what you want to do. When you switch o the table, the patient orientation
pre-selection is memorised.
Switching the table o
! The STOP buttons on the main hand control and on the override system allow you to stop
all table movement.
! In wired mode, the table stops automatically at the end of a preprogrammed cycle.
! The table can also be switched o by pressing the joystick and any other key at the same time.
Handling the surgical table
! Avoid handling the surgical table roughly during the operation or transfer. Do not exert
excessive lateral loads on it, do not pull or push the surgical table with the accessories or
with the rails.
! Avoid rough handling of the hand control and the backup system. Do not press the keypad
with too much force or use unsuitable objects to do so.
! Avoid handling the cables roughly when connecting or disconnecting the remote control,
the joystick or the power cord set.
! Do not sit on one of the two ends of the table, especially when the tabletop is not
centered, as this can cause the table to tilt.
! Do not stand on the base of the surgical table because it can damage the covers.
! When power cord is connected to the surgical table, and therefore is lying on the floor,
pay attention to this power cord when moving around the surgical table and remove the
cable before moving the table.
Weight capacity
! Do not exceed a patient+accessory weight of 230 kg for the standard described positions
and respect the indications and warnings signalled.
! The use of certain extensions may decrease this patient+accessories weight. When
extensions are installed on the CMAX™ X-RAY surgical table, you should also consult the
user manuals of these extensions to know the possible weight restrictions related to the
use of these extensions.
! In positions where the tabletop will be significantly slide away from the column, ensure
that there is sucient stability for the type of surgical procedure requirements.
! For all other uses, please contact our network for advice. If you are working intensively on
the patient’s chest, we recommend that you bring the tabletop back to a centred position
on the column.
Positioning the patient
! The positions described in this manual are given purely as examples. The accessories
required are not always shown. Under no circumstance should they replace the
instructions given by the surgical team in charge of the patient.
! Ensure that both the patient and the table are stable when combining tabletop movements
(for example reverse trend + lateral tilt).
! Secure the patient properly (ex. using straps), especially when the table has a strongt tilt
inclination.
! Long surgical procedures can cause compression points on patients and have post
operative consequences. Monitor patient during surgical procedures and use gel cushions
for extented procedures.
Autonomy
! Two 12V sealed lead batteries are integrated into the base and mean that the CMAX™
X-RAY is autonomous.
Before using the table, check that the batteries are suciently charged.
! The joystick operates in standalone mode using the integrated batteries. Before using the
table in Bluetooth (wireless) mode, check that the batteries are suciently charged.
Connections
! The sockets are equipped with locks: do not pull on the hand control or Joystick to
disconnect them.
! The E-Serve connection is only to be used by STERIS service team and with material
approved by STERIS
! Never try to connect equipment to the surgical table that is not supplied by STERIS or not
approved to be used with the CMAX™ X-Ray table.
! Always use the power cord provided by STERIS.
! The operator should never touch the patient when the operator is plugging or unplugging
the remote control or the joystick, or when the operator is handling the connectors of
these devices.
Potential equalisation conductor
! Connect together potential equalisation conductors to overcome the problem of diering
potentials across networks.
! Originally intended for cardiac areas, it protects the patient from electric shock during
procedures where even small potentials may cause harm.
! When a potential equalisation conductor is connected, the table MUST NOT be used with
a defibrillator
! When the use of a potential equalisation socket allows a medical electrical system to be
created, then this system must meet the requirements of IEC 60601-1.
