Padding
ATTENTION
Do not use if the padding surface is damaged.
Operating the medifa 5000 with non-approved padding is prohibited and will result in loss of CE conformity.
The padding supports are removable to facilitate cleaning and disinfection.
The paddings are adapted by fitting the supports provided on the underside of the padding onto the studs pro-
vided on the upper frame of the table.
The padding prevents pressure necrosis of the patient. Medically trained personnel must eliminate the residual
risk through active decubitus prophylaxis when positioning the patient. The padding is antistatic and, when
fastened properly, complies with the normative regulations.
ATTENTION
Safety Instructions
• Only use the original medifa padding!
• Do not place the patient on the medifa 5000 without a padding.
• When the table components are attached according to instructions, the padding edges of the medifa 5000
are aligned.
• Do not insert any sharp-edged objects into the padding or place them on the padding.
• Do not attach adhesive foils.
The paddings are available in SF or PUR version. The padding is attached to the padded plate with stud-mount-
ing holes.
9. Padding
9.1 SF padding
The padding is made of 80 mm thick viscoelastic foam with a 3-fold sandwich construction and a non-remova-
ble, electrically conductive upholstery fabric.
The padding is disinfectable and washable as well as radiotransparent. Furthermore, the poster is latex-free,
breathable as well as antistatic. The seams are ultrasonically welded so that - unlike sewn seams or the use of
zippers - penetration of liquids and pathogens is prevented.
This makes the padding support easy to clean.
9.2 PUR padding
The padding supports are made of a special integral foam mixture foamed onto a plastic carrier. They are made
in special colours to meet even the most demanding comfort requirements of the patient.
Ergonomic shapes and rounded edges characterise the design and support the functionality. The paddings are
X-ray transparent, electrically conductive and comply with DIN 53596.

1. Reach under an edge on the side of the padding
and pull the padding upwards.
9.3 Attaching the padding
Padding
1. Place the padding on the padded plate, press the
bushings in the padding onto the stud-mounting
holes [1] on the padded plate.
2. Check if the padding is securely held on the oper-
ating table. The padding must be fixed exactly on
the padded plate.

10. Standard rails
The standard rails on the right and left of the table top are used to attach accessories.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury due to tilting of the medifa 5000!.
Irrespective of the permissible load of the individual standard rails, a total unilateral torque of 70 Nm over
the longitudinal axis and 100 Nm over the transverse axis of the medifa 5000 must not be exceeded during
intended use!
In addition to the risk of tipping over, the standard rail can break if the load limit is exceeded. As a result, the
patient’s body part supported on the accessory can slip away, which poses the risk of inserted cannulas being
pulled out.

Figure 3: Torque on standard rail
The maximum permissible torque on a standard rail of the medifa 5000 is 70 Nm around the longitudinal axis
and 100 Nm around the transverse axis. The torque is applied as soon as an accessory is coupled to the standard
rails. The dead weight of an accessory used can be taken from the accessories list!
[L1] = Length 1 [m2] = Mass 2
[L2] = Length 2 [ML] = Longitudinal moment
[m1] = Mass 1 [MQ] = Transverse moment
The torque acting on the standard rails can be approximately calculated using the following rule of thumb.
Standard rails
10.1 Maximum permissible torque
M (L or Q) = m x L x 10
Torque [Nm] = Mass [kg] x Length [m] x 10[m/s2]
For the mass (m), specify the weight of the patient body part to be placed on the accessory.
