2 Basic requirements
2.1 Intended use
The extension system (ES) is an accessory for a medical device.
It is intended for human medical applications exclusively and
must only be used in conjunction with an operating table. It is
optimised for application in combination with the RotexTable by
Condor®.
The ES is used to position the hip and lower extremities of pati-
ents during operations on the hip, thigh, lower spine, as well as
during induction and emergence. It is equipped with leg plates
and enables countering during extension and traction. If the safe
load capacity of the operating table permits this, the ES may be
used for patients weighing up to 225 kg. If the load capacity of
the operating table including manufacturer-supplied extensions
of the bed surface is lower, then this lower safe load capacity of
the operating table applies. Ensure the stable positioning of the
system when it is bearing the entire work load before each use.
During use, the ES is connected to a specific operating table.
For adaptation to a specific operating table, the model of the
operating table has to be indicated in the order. The operating
table and ES may only be used by persons who have familiarised
themselves with the product by reading this manual. The ES may
only be used in complete accordance with the user manual. We
will not accept liability for property damage or personal injuries
caused by third-party accessories or noncompliance with the
intended use.
The specified application is the intended use. This use is made
fully apparent to the owner or user from the labelling and the
user manual. The ES may only be used in complete accordance
with the user manual.
No liability shall be assumed for potential product damage or
personal injury due to non-approved accessories or contradic-
ting intended use, non-compliance with maximum limits or
requirements regarding function checks and visual inspections.

4. Operation
4.1 Connecting the extension system to the operating table
The ES can be attached to operating tables of various manufactu-
rers. The cross strut of the ES is adapted to specific models of an
operating table manufacturer. The model of the operating table
needs to be indicated in the order.
The ES is attached to the seat part of the operating table unless
another option has been expressly approved.
Attachment to the operating table should be according to the
specifications of the manufacturer of the operating table. For
further details please consult the operating instructions of the
operating table.
• Always verify that the extension system is firmly attached to
the operating table.
The stability of the operating table, RotexTable® and extension
system depends on various factors:
– Structure and weight of the operating table
– Position of the rollers on the operating table trolley
– Position of the longitudinal adjustment of the bed surface (if
available)
Always make sure that the system of operating table, Rotex-
Table®, ES and patient is stable before use.

Swivelling leg plates
a
Attention !
During height adjustment or lateral movements,
the RotexTable® and the leg plate may collide and
damage the device. In this case, swivel the leg plate
of the healthy leg outward in order to ensure suffi-
cient freedom of movement for the RotexTable®.
If, during use, the ES is attached to a RotexTable® and a leg plate
at the same time, it may become necessary to push the Rotex-
Table® beyond the middle line position. If the leg plate is secured
close to the axle, the vertical axle of the RotexTable® may inter-
fere with the leg plate. Similarly, during a height adjustment of
the RotexTable® or operating table, the ES may interfere with the
horizontal axle of the RotexTable®. In both cases, swivel the leg
plate outward in order to ensure sufficient freedom of movement
for the RotexTable®.
The ES enables the adduction necessary to care for fractures of
lower extremities.
There is a gear tooth system underneath the leg plate.
Rotate to open the gear tooth system completely. The
leg plate can be adjusted in 9° steps. It can be
adjusted outwards to max. 36° (or max. 55° for the standard
55° variant) and inwards to max. 45°.
•In order to swivel the leg plate, rotate the hand grip under-
neath it, so that the gear tooth system is released.
• Make sure that the gear tooth system is completely free.
• Now turn the leg plate in the corresponding direction.
•In order to fasten the leg plate, rotate the gear tooth system
using the star grip so that it comes together.
Folding away leg plates
a
Attention!
In some cases, the leg plates may need to be folded
away.
In the centre under the leg plate, there is a pushbutton.
•Slightly pull out the traction bars. Press this pushbutton to
take off a segment of the leg plate.
• While doing this, hold on to the plate.
• Hold and carry the plate only at the pad.
Otherwise, the pad and the plate may become loose.

Attention !
When using an extension system on a longitudinally
adjustable bed surface, the extension system may
press against the centre column of the operating
table and damage the device. Avoid longitudinal
movement, in particular when the extension system
slants down. Always ensure sufficient space for the
longitudinally adjustable bed surface.
Attention !
During height adjustment or lateral movements,
the RotexTable® and the leg plate may collide and
damage the device. Swivel the leg plate outward
in this case in order to ensure sufficient freedom of
movement for the RotexTable®.
If, during use, the ES is attached to a RotexTable® and a leg plate
at the same time, it may become necessary to push the Rotex-
Table® beyond the middle line position. If the leg plate is secured
close to the axle, the vertical axle of the RotexTable® may inter-
fere with the leg plate. Similarly, during a height adjustment of
the RotexTable® or operating table, the ES may interfere with the
horizontal axle of the RotexTable®. In both cases, swivel the leg
plate outward in order to ensure sufficient freedom of movement
for the RotexTable®.
The ES enables the adduction necessary to care for fractures of
lower extremities.
There is a gear tooth system underneath the leg plate.
Rotate to open the gear tooth system completely. The leg
plate can be adjusted in 9° steps. Depending on the leg plate
variant, these can be swiveled outward by max. 36° or 55° (leg
plate variant: standard 55°) and inward by max. 45°.
The standard 55° leg plates facilitate the use of the X-ray unit
for fracture treatment. Both legs can be clamped in the
traction devices and, thanks to the extended swivel radius, the
X-ray unit can be positioned between the patient's legs.
•In order to swivel the leg plate, rotate the hand grip under-
neath it, so that the gear tooth system is released.
•Make sure that the gear tooth system is completely free.
Now turn the leg plate in the corresponding direction.
•In order to fasten the leg plate, rotate the gear tooth system
using the star grip so that it comes together.

Caution !
Even though the hand wheel of the traction device
runs very smoothly, injuries to the patient through
excessive extension are still possible. Proceed very
carefully during extension.
g
Danger!
After the operation, make sure that the patient is
centrally positioned on the operating table before
transporting him out of the operating room! There
is a risk of tipping!
Preoperative:
Position the patient's pelvis on the connecting plate of the ES so
that the patient is lying against the counter traction post. Make
sure that no pressure points can occur.
Postoperative:
Move the patient back to a central position over the operating
table column immediately after the operation! To do this,
position the patient in the direction of the head section of the
operating table before transferring him to the transporter/
carrier.
4.9 Addition: Side rail adaptation
ES for vertical drape support
ES drape support for vertical drapes can be attached to the ES
using a side rail adaptation (RO.0230.2021). For this purpose, the
side rail adaptation for the ES is attached to its extension bar. A
radial clamp and thus a cover holder can be attached to the side
rail.
g
Danger!
The maximum permitted weight for side rail
adaptation for a drape holder is 5 kg! Also observe
the maximum permitted total weight for the ES
and the operating table. Make sure that the
complete system is stable!

6. Cleaning and disinfection
Cleaning the metal and plastic components
Cleaning the pads
The metal and plastic components of the extension system may
only be cleaned with a disinfectant wipe.
The pad cushions the seat and bed surfaces.
Damaged pads may soak up moisture and germs. Immediately
replace such pads for hygienic reasons. Contaminated pads must
be cleaned immediately and disinfected if required. Observe
general hygiene requirements.
A weakly alkaline detergent, i.e. low-intensity bleach, soapsuds
or clinical cleaners may be used for cleaning.

Attention !
Skin disinfectants may cause discolourations in the
pads. Immediately remove skin disinfectants from
the pad to avoid discolourations.
Attention !
Alcoholic detergents damage the faux leather
(hardening and tearing). Do not use these agents
for cleaning or disinfection.
h
Do not use automated cleaning or disinfection
methods.
Disinfecting the pads
We recommend the use of surface disinfectants with the
following proven combinations of active ingredients:
– Aldehydes
– Quaternary ammonium bases (QAB)
– Guanidine derivatives
These agents have a longer evaporation period, while the disin-
fecting component remains on the surface. On a surface that has
been cleaned from coarse particles, >95% lethality is achieved
after only a few minutes. The above surface disinfectants do
not degrade the pads and pass hygiene inspections. Due to its
fast evaporation and lack of a long-term effect, alcohol does not
provide any significant benefits.
Quaternary ammonium bases remain on the surface as organic
salts. This has the advantage of being effective even with residual
moisture. The drawback is a certain stickiness due to the buildup
of a saline layer. We recommend removing this saline layer peri-
odically every 3-6 months using cleaners with non-ionogenic
tensides. This prevents stickiness and significantly improves the
longevity of the materials.
During skin disinfection of the patient with alcoholic agents it is
very important to ensure that the disinfectant does not come into
contact with the pads. Alcoholic disinfectants damages the pads
surfaces by causing the material to harden, form cracks, etc. Such
defects, as well as any defects resulting from the improper use of
cleaners and disinfectants, are not covered by the warranty.
Because hand disinfectants frequently consist of or contain
alcohol, they are not suitable for use on the pads.
v
Caution !
Disinfectants containing alcohol can cause inflam-
mable gas mixtures. Do not use alcoholic disinfec-
tants.
