3. Operation Tilting Controls WARNING Ensure that the patient is safely positioned prior to tilting the table. Always secure the patient using the straps provided prior to tilting the table. Under no circumstances should the table be moved with the patent in situ and in tilt mode. In the interest of patient safety, always ensure that a member of staff (or other competent individual) is close at hand when the patient is in tilt. Ensure that all electrical cables are positioned away from the moving parts of the table. Care should be taken when tilting the tilt table into the vertical position. Ensure table is elevated sufficiently prior to tilting vertical as table may lift off wheels. Ensure no object is underneath footboard when tilting as this could cause entrapment. Models 8631 & 8632

3. Operation Fixation Belts and Harnesses WARNING Check condition of straps and harnesses. If worn out or damaged, replace immediately. Always ensure that the straps and harnesses are in the correct position and that the patient is fully secure before operating the tilt facility. Only use Huntleigh Akron straps and harnesses. The Standard Tilt Table is supplied with the following Fixation Harnesses and Belts (TT3)

2 x Narrow Belts (TT1)

1 x Wide Belt (TT2) When the Standard Tilt Table is supplied with Split Leg Facility a Split Leg Harness is also included.

Split Leg Harness (TT4) The Wide Belt is used across the patient’s knees and fastened using the Velcro strips which wrap around the chrome rails. One Narrow Belt is fitted across the chest with the other across the waist. The Split Leg Harness is an optional accessory and can only be used in conjunction with the optional split leg upholstery models (TTSL). This allows each leg to be secured individually by using the special harness.

4. Accessories Emergency quick release mechanism (model 8622) CAUTION The Quick Release Mechanism is for EMERGENCY USE ONLY in the event of a power failure. It must not be used for routine lowering of the tilted section. Always support the upholstery section when changing the tilt angle.

Red Handle (A)

Red Handle and Release Lever together (B)

Plastic Retaining Clips (C)

To lower from tilt position in an emergency situation, grasp and pull Red Handle (A) downwards until table is at approximately 45°. Do not stand on any part of table frame to reach this handle. From this position, quickly transfer grip by grasping Red Handle and Release Lever together (B). Pull down until horizontal to allow removal of the patient from the table. Please note that from 45° angle, weight of patient will be positive and will need support as the table is lowered. Releasing the lever will immediately cause the table to lock into position. After use of ‘Emergency Quick Release’ function, the normal controls cannot be operated by the hand/foot switch until the table is returned to the same tilt angle prior to using the gas strut release lever. Use gas strut release lever grasped to handle to return table to tilt angle prior to emergency use. It can then be operated as normal with the hand/foot switch. The Red Handle, when not in use, can be secured to the frame by ‘twisting’ the Plastic Retaining Clips (C).

WARNING Do not stand on any part of table frame to reach the Red Handle. Do not re-position patient using the Quick Release Mechanism.

5. Cleaning and Decontamination WARNING Do not use Alkalis or other organic solvents for routine cleaning. Replace torn or damaged vinyl immediately. Always cover vinyl with fresh paper or sheet between patients. If contamination is known or suspected always decontaminate table before use.

Frequency of routine table cleaning will depend on exact application. CLEANING / DECONTAMINATION Wear suitable protective clothing. Disconnect mains supply. Locate couch in a suitable cleaning area with castors disengaged or wheels locked. A) B) C)

Using a clean damp cloth, warm water and soap carefully wipe table from top to bottom, taking care around electrical components. Wipe table carefully from top to bottom using a damp cloth and clean water. Wipe table carefully dry with clean paper towels from top to bottom.

If DECONTAMINATING then repeat steps a) to c) using a dilute Hypochlorite / warm water mixture (10,000ppm) instead of warm water and soap. Safely discard cleaning / decontaminating materials. Wash hands thoroughly. Put table back into service.

5. Cleaning and Decontamination Decontamination of Straps It is not recommended that the straps are laundered on a regular or routine basis as this will eventually compromise the integrity of the material and associated Tac-Flex. However, under certain conditions, ie when the straps become heavily soiled or when they are suspected or known to have been in contact with an infectious organism, they can be laundered or decontaminated using one of the following methods.

General Wash The straps should be washed separately, as the Tac-Flex will attract debris from other material which will ultimately reduce its effectiveness. The Tac-Flex should be joined prior to washing. The straps may then be laundered in the normal fashion, at a temperature of approximately 71°C and allowed to dry in ambient conditions. After such wash, the straps should be thoroughly inspected prior to patient use. If deterioration is present or the Tac-Flex fails to maintain integrity, the straps must be replaced.

Decontamination Eye protection and suitable clothing should be worn. Where contamination is known or suspected, the surface of the straps should be sprayed liberally using a hypochlorite solution of 1,000 ppm or a 1,000 ppm solution of sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC), after removing excessive organic material. The straps should then be air dried at ambient temperature and inspected (as above) prior to patient use.

6. Troubleshooting – Electric Actuator Symptom Actuator will not work

7. Maintenance Check table visually before use. Carry out routine servicing every six months or more frequently if in heavy use. Routine servicing or repair must only be performed by suitably qualified person.

WARNING Before commencing any maintenance activity, disconnect the table from the electrical supply. Plug acts as disconnect device. Examine the table for any signs of damage. Make sure that all nuts, bolts and other fasteners are tight. Do not over tighten as this may cause binding. Upholstery fasteners should be checked, tightened or replaced if necessary. Check section hinge pins to ensure that no pin protrudes. Check gas strut controls, throughout the full range of movement for locking and assistance. Check hydraulic tables for smooth operation and signs of leakage.

WARNING All electrical checks should be performed by a suitably qualified and licensed electrician. Neither BLUE or BROWN wires are to be connected to the earth terminal of a three pin plug. Examine the flexible cables for cuts, abrasions, kinking or other deterioration and replace if necessary. Ensure that the power supply connector plug is securely attached. Check mains plug connections are tight and fuse is correctly rated (5A).
