INTENDED USE
Allen® Advance Table User Guide (D-720722 Ver D) 7
INTENDED USE
The intended users of the Allen® Advance 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
Allen® Advance 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 Allen® Advance
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 Allen® Advance Table pendant permit the adjustment of table height,
angle, tilt, and auxiliary function for the lateral top. The Allen® Advance
Table contains electronic locking casters that permit the Allen® Advance
Table to be moved and locked into position by use of an electronic control
on the Allen® Advance Table pendant.
This manual provides the information required for normal operation of the
Allen® Advance Table. Before you operate the Allen® Advance 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 Allen® Advance 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 Allen®
Advance 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.
