Safeguards
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC TREATMENT TABLES (OR BEDS) WITH POWER
ASSISTED LIFTING MECHANISMS
Objective
To raise awareness of the potential dangers associated with electrically adjustable treatment
tables or beds with power assisted lifting mechanism.
Background
• A small child was fatally injured as a result of being crushed between the moving linkages of an
electrically powered height adjustable table, while the table was in operation.
• Most tables (or beds) incorporate scissor type linkages that introduce potential hazzards if proper
safety precautions are not observed.
• Please review the following information.
Risk Control Measures
• Access to table or bed should be restricted to the operator and patient only. This might be
achieved through the placement of physical barriers or by ensuring that only operators and
patients have access to treatment areas.
• Under no circumstances should a child be present in a room in which electrically adjustable
treatment tables or beds exist except as a patient on the appliance or as an age appropriate
child who can be safely accommodated in a playpen
• For the operator, visibility beyond and below the tabletop in most cases is restricted. During table
height adjustment, the operator must check below the table-top and ensure that children (other
than those being treated at the time), are not in the vicinity of the table (or bed).
• Any operating controls should be positioned so the opportunity for unintentional activation is
avoided.
• Employers who operate these appliances must ensure adequate training is given to operators
and employees on how the appliance works, load limits, and all designer or manufacturer built-in
safety features.
Welcome
Thank you for choosing OmniPlinth Treatment Tables. We are
confident you will enjoy your therapy table for years to come. Great pride
and craftsmanship is built into each table, resulting in a quality product
for you.
This operating manual provides instruction for use and care of most
models of OmniPlinth Electric High-Low tables including:
• Two-section
• Three-section
• Five-section
• Bobath
• Mat Platform
• Osteopathic
• Multi-purpose/Traction
• Chiropractic
• Massage Therapy
Although there are many designs available, the basic operation is
common throughout all models. This manual describes the operation of
all standard features as well most optional features.
