1. INTRODUCTION
Intended Use
The Econo Echocardiography Table is designed to provide a safe ergonomic environment for the
sonographer and patient. The design features are intended to relieve musculoskeletal stress on
the sonographer while scanning, and to provide the utmost patient comfort.
Indications For Use
The Econo Echocardiography Table is typically used in radiology departments, cardiovascular
facilities, diagnostic imaging centers and private practice clinics to achieve quality images for a
variety of procedures and patient applications.
General Cleaning and Maintenance
1. As required, cleanse all exterior surfaces and tabletop pads with a mild detergent solution
such as Parker Laboratories Protex Disinfectant or any one-step disinfectant that does not
contain bleach.
2. Keep wheel assemblies free of foreign materials and dirt accumulation.
3. Periodically inspect all welds.
4. Periodically check bolts on table, tighten if necessary.
5. Periodically inspect all strap holders. Any holder that feels loose should be removed and
reattached after adding a spot of Loctite®Threadlocker (Blue #242) to the bolt threads. This
should ensure that the bolt will not loosen again in the future.

2. ASSEMBLY AND TABLE OPERATION
Relocating The Table
CAUTION: Before moving the table with a patient, make sure side rails are in the up
position and restraining straps are in place to secure the patient.
ATTENTION: Avant de déplacer la table avec un patient, assurez-vous que les rails
latéraux sont dans les courroies hautes de position et de corps en place pour fixer le
patient
This table can be easily moved across smooth surfaces.
To move the table, release each of the four individual wheel lock levers by lifting up on the end of
each lever with your foot.
Once positioned, depress the end of each individual wheel lock lever to lock the table in
position, ensuring stability.
Height Adjustment
Table height is conveniently adjusted with the hand-held controller. D-ring holders are provided
on the end of the straps at each side of the table frame to hold the hand-held
controller when it is not in use. The hand-held controller can be moved to either
side of the table. A power light on the controller indicates that power from the
control box is on.
•To raise the table: press and hold down the table UP button.
•To lower the table: press and hold down the table DOWN button.
NOTE: The control box, located underneath the tabletop, is labeled with controller
specific information.
Fowler Back Adjustment
The motorized Fowler back is infinitely adjustable to 80° via the hand-held
controller.
Leveling The Table
The table has a self-leveling feature which can be used when the table is in a seated position.
• To level the table, press and hold both Fowler back buttons on the hand-held control.

Adjustable Sonographer Cutout Cushion
To assure both patient and sonographer comfort, the adjustable sonographer cutout cushion
can be fully lowered or raised to either of two positions.
• To fully lower the cushion, reach under the cushion and squeeze together the two
sonographer cutout cushion release handles. This will release the cushion, which can now be
lowered. To return the cushion back to the level position, squeeze the handles together and
lift up on the cushion until it is higher than level and then lower the cushion back down until it
locks in the level position.
• To raise the cushion, lift up on the cushion. There are two positions in which the raised
cushion can be set. To set the cushion in the first raised position, lift the cushion two-thirds of
the way to vertical and then allow it to slide back down slightly until you feel it lock into
position. To raise the cushion to the fully raised position, lift the cushion all the way up to
vertical and then allow it to move back slightly until it locks into place. To lower the cushion
from either raised position, lift up on the sonographer cutout cushion release lever (located
along the head-end of the cushion) and then lower the cushion.
Cardiac Scanning Cutout
The cardiac drop-down cushion can be released by pressing the yellow release handle which can
be found toward the lower end of the Fowler back section on each side of the table.
The cushion can be returned from either side of the table. From the right side you will find a
handle located toward the head end of the table. By pressing this handle down, the cardiac
cushion will return to level. From the left side of the table, simply push the cushion back up to
level

2. Using a 7/16" wrench, remove the two 1/4-20" hex head screws from under one side of the
head end of the Fowler back cushion. (See Figure 10.)
3. Position the appropriate paper dispenser mounting bracket on the bottom of the Fowler back
cushion as shown below. Ensure the pre-drilled screw holes align with the screw holes from
step 2.
4. Using a 7/16" wrench, install the two 1/4-20" hex head screws removed in step 1 through the
dispenser mounting bracket and tighten to secure the paper dispenser bracket in place.
5. Repeat steps 1 - 4 for the opposite side.
6. Place a role of paper on the paper dispenser rod and install the rod between the brackets.

I.V. Pole (058-737)
The optional I.V. pole must be installed on the patient's right side of the table.
Installing the I.V. pole:
1. Using a 7/16" wrench, remove the two 1/4-20" hex head screws from the end of the tabletop
frame on the side of the table to which the I.V. pole will be installed.
2. Position the I.V. pole support bracket against the side frame so the two pre-drilled screw holes
in the bracket align with the screw holes on the tabletop frame. The I.V. pole should face up
and toward the head end of the table.
3. Using a 7/16" wrench, install the two screws removed in step 1 through the I.V. pole mounting
bracket. Tighten the screws to secure.
4. Insert the I.V. pole into the I.V. pole mounting bracket. Ensure that the I.V. pole passes through
