NOTES:

Allen® Advance Table User Manual (D-720686-A6) 1
INTENDED USE
The intended users of the Allen® Advance Table (Table) are healthcare
employees who have been trained to use the product, and who have the
physical strength and cognitive skills to operate and control the product.
Follow facility safety protocols if an intended user does not have the
physical strength or cognitive skills to operate and control the product
safely. The Table is intended to be used in an operating room environment
to support and position patients during surgical procedures. Several types
of specialty tops can be attached to the Table to permit surgical access
and 360° radiolucency for various types of surgical operations. The patient
can be secured into various operable positions from the supine, prone, or
lateral position. Electronic controls on the Table pendant permit the
adjustment of table height, angle, tilt, and auxiliary function for the lateral
top. The Table contains electronic locking casters that permit the Table to
be moved and locked into position by use of an electronic control on the
Table pendant.
This manual provides the information required for normal operation of the
Table. Before you operate the Table, be sure that you have read and
understood in detail the contents of this manual. It is important that you
read and strictly obey the aspects of safety contained in this manual. Any
reference to a side of the Table is from the patient’s view lying on an
installed patient support top on his or her back.
NOTE:
When we discuss the installation of the Prone Support Set, any position
reference is with the patient lying face down on the patient support top.
This manual includes the different features and options for the Table,
some of which may not apply to your unit. To identify the model that you
have, look at the model number label that is on the inside of the head-end
base, near the power outlet.

product manufacturer’s instructions to make sure the equipment will
operate as intended.
• Incorrect use or handling of the power cord may cause damage to the
power cord. If damage has occurred to the power cord or any of its
components, immediately remove the Table from service, and contact
the applicable maintenance persons.
• Do not expose the unit to excessive moisture.
• Fluid spills on to the electronics can cause a hazard. If such a spill
