This manual covers the instructions for the installation, operation, and normal care of the 417 Podiatry Examination Chair. For the purpose of this manual, the word TABLE is synonymous with the word CHAIR. This table has been designed to help reduce effort and work fatigue involved in the examination and treatment of an ever-increasing number of patients during the doctor’s normal working day. The angle of the table top, (TILT), and the upper section of the table, (BACK), are adjusted by the use of an electromechanical power unit. The seat height of this table is fixed at 22-1/2". The angle of the table top, (TILT), may be varied from the horizontal to 30 degrees. The upper portion of the table, (BACK), can be adjusted from horizontal to a full chair sitting position, and the foot section may be manually extended - 8-7/8". The combination of these three motions provide a table which can not only be tailored to meet the individual doctor’s requirements, but will meet the requirements of most examinations and treatments being performed in the doctor’s office today. The FOOT CONTROL, accessory p/n 9A97002 (optional) and the HAND CONTROL, accessory p/n 9A93001, (standard) both can be used to control manual table adjustments and to enter and use preset programmed positions. They also contain an “auto return” feature which automatically sends the table to a preset, home, sitting position with the single touch of a button.

DANGER Do not lift at point “B”, fig. 1. This is not a supported area. Lifting at this point could cause personal injury or damage to the table.

ELECTRICAL The electrical rating of the Model 417 is 115 V.A.C., 60 Hertz, 12 Amperes. The three pronged grounding plug on the table power cord must be inserted into a matching three-pronged, grounded, non-isolated, correctlypolarized 115-volt receptacle. The power cord provides power to all of the table’s electromechanical actuators and to both of the duplex receptacles located on lower sides of the seat (A, Fig. 2).

NOTE DANGER Use 115 volt - 60 hertz alternating current only. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

This equipment is not designed for continuous operation. If the unit is operated continually, a thermal overload switch will shut off the actuator motor. If normal operation ceases, immediately remove your foot or hand from the control switch. The overload switch will automatically reset after the motor cools (minimum 15 minutes). The 417 table actuators are fused to protect the operator as well as the table. Should the unit fail to start after a cool down period, contact an authorized service center to investigate the cause of the failure.

Operation of Table Power Features For optimal performance, allow the table to reach room temperature before operating. Plug table power cord into proper receptacle as described above under ELECTRICAL.

To insert plug, align plug tab with notch in the receptacles. Push inward until tab clicks into the locked position. To remove plug, depress tab while pulling on the plug.

NOTE DISABLE SWITCH: A disable switch which interrupts power to all table actuator motors is located beneath the duplex receptacle on the left-hand side of the table (B, Fig. 2). When the switch is positioned toward the foot end of the table, all controls are disabled. Changing the position of the switch toward the head end of the table allows power to be supplied for table positioning. A

CAUTION Always disable the controls to the table when it is required to remain in a fixed position during cauterization or when the table is left unattended.

CAUTION

NOTE Turn the disable switch toward the head end to power up the table, (B, Fig. 2). Then press the green switch or button marked AUTO RETURN. The table’s actuator motors will run then shut down automatically. You may now begin to position the table.

The foot control switches require just 5 lbs. of pressure for activation. Do not apply excessive force to either the foot control switches or the hand control panel, which requires minimal finger pressure.

CAUTION DANGER If the table malfunctions, immediately remove your foot or hands from the control switch, unplug the power cord from the wall receptacle, and assist the patient from the table.

DANGER Keep your arms and legs and your patient’s arms and legs clear of all moving parts when changing table position. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

Do not continue to hold the control switches down after the table reaches either of the extreme positions. Extended operation of the motor at either of these positions will overheat the actuator motor.

ADJUSTMENT OF TABLE BACK SECTION To raise the upper portion of the table top from horizontal, depress the arrow-switch or button marked BACK UP and hold down until the desired position is obtained or until the table reaches its maximum amount of movement. To bring the table top, BACK, down toward horizontal, depress the arrow-switch or button marked BACK DOWN and hold down until the desired position is obtained or the horizontal position is achieved.

DANGER Keep all foreign objects away from the hand control or foot switch so that the switches are not accidentally activated. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

CAUTION Do not continue to hold the control switches down after the table reaches either of the extreme positions. Extended operation of the motor at either of these positions will overheat the actuator motor.

Patient Positioning (Manual) The table is now ready for operation. If the table does not respond to attempts to move the table using the hand control or foot control, refer to reinitialization steps on page 8. Your Model 417 can actuate 3 power motions, TABLE, BACK and TILT. ADJUSTMENT OF TABLE HEIGHT To raise the table seat height with either the FOOT CONTROL OR HAND CONTROL, depress the arrowswitch or button marked TABLE UP and hold down until the desired position is obtained or until the maximum height is reached. To lower the table seat height, depress the arrowswitch or button marked TABLE DOWN and hold down until the desired position is obtained or the minimum seat height is reached.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE TABLE TOP ANGLE To tilt the table top, depress the arrow-switch or button marked TILT UP and hold down until the desired degree of tilt is obtained or until the table reaches the horizontal position.

CAUTION Do not continue to hold the control switches down after the table reaches either of the extreme positions. Extended operation of the motor at either of these positions will overheat the actuator motor.

Patient Positioning (Programmable) The table is now ready for operation. If the table does not respond to attempts to move the table using the hand control or foot control, refer to reinitialization steps on page 8. The model 417 table can be programmed to keep up to four doctor specified positions in its computer memory. Once the position is placed in memory, only one switch or button must be activated to simultaneously operate all three power motions of the table. This allows quick positioning for frequently performed procedures. PROGRAMMING THE TABLE To store a table position in the computer memory, the following steps must be taken:

DANGER Be sure all persons and equipment are clear of the table before activating the auto return. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

AUTO RETURN The auto return will lower any amount of table height or tilt and raise the back, moving simultaneously until the table reaches a sitting, patient entry or exit, position. To actuate the auto return, depress the green switch or button marked AUTO RETURN just once.

NOTE If for any reason the AUTO RETURN must be stopped, press the red switch or button marked STOP or any other switches or buttons in an emergency.

REINITIALIZATION Depress the PROGRAM, POSITION 1, and POSITION 2 switches simultaneously for a minimum of five seconds. Release these switches and depress the AUTO RETURN switch for seven seconds or until the table begins to move. Release the AUTO RETURN switch. The motors will continue to run for approximately eighteen seconds. The table is now ready for normal operation. If table malfunction persists, then contact your dealer or Midmark’s service department at 1-800-MIDMARK.

Care of Table CARE OF UPHOLSTERY The upholstery material used to cover the top of the table is resistant to most medicinal-type stains, but may be damaged by solvents and dyes. Regular care should be maintained by daily wiping with a damp cloth or sponge and a periodic cleaning with a mild soap and water solution. Any fluid spilled on the upholstery should be removed as quickly as possible. In the case of stain, attempt to remove it with soap and water. CARE OF PAINTED METAL SURFACES All painted metal surfaces should be wiped clean with a clean, soft cloth weekly, and a periodic application of paste wax to smooth paints will preserve the finish luster. CARE OF PLASTIC COMPONENTS All the plastic table parts should be cleaned with a clean damp cloth weekly. Any soiled areas may be cleaned with soap and water or other household cleaners. CARE OF MOVING PARTS All moving parts, such as the foot section slides, back hinges, and debris tray assembly should be lubricated occasionally with a light machine oil to help insure quiet, dependable operation.

10

Maintenance Little routine maintenance is required other than a periodic inspection of the electrical cords to make sure they are free of cuts or damage and clear of moving parts. Due to the mechanical, electrical nature of this equipment, periodic inspections at six (6) month intervals by your dealer are recommended.

DANGER Failure to perform a periodic inspection of your equipment could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
