Application

The Anesthesia Armboard is an attachable accessory for STERIS Surgical Tables (see Before Using Armboard) designed to

support a patient’s arm and maintain the same level with the surgical table top. Manual articulation allows operator to

abduct and adduct the arm as needed. The accessory is intended for mounting on the side rail of a surgical table only.

competent authority in the country where the incident occurred.

Installation

WARNING

PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD:

●Do not use equipment if worn, damaged or cannot be securely tightened. Cracked or

splintered surfaces may cause injury. Inspect armboard prior to use. Damaged

armboard must be replaced. Read and understand all instructions prior to use. If

technical assistance or additional instructions are needed, contact STERIS.

●To prevent armboard or table damage, ensure armboard is not installed or moved

parallel to table side rails. This orientation results in damage to armboard and/or

table during table articulations.

●As with any unfamiliar patient positioning device, always read the operating

instructions and practice on a nurse, physician or other appropriate volunteer prior to

patient use.

●To prevent patient or operator injury, ensure correct attachment to table and verify

clamp locking block is engaged.

●Hyperextending patient’s arm beyond 90° may cause nerve damage. Consult with

anesthesiologist regarding safe positioning for each patient.

Install Anesthesia Armboard to surgical tables as follows:

1. Position armboard locking block against side rail and mount armboard to table by pressing down to actuate lock

(see Figure 1-2).

2. Slightly lift armboard, slide it along side rail to desired position.

3. Carefully position patient’s arm on armboard.

4. Pull trigger at end of armboard (on bottom) and rotate armboard and patient’s arm to desired degree of

abduction or adduction.

5. Use provided arm straps (see Figure 1-1) and secure patient’s arm in place on armboard.
