CAUIN
The operation table has been tested to be compatible with HF surgical equipment.
However, the operating table must be monitored for unwanted movements. If any
unwanted movements occur, turn off the main switch to prevent further movements.
Note: The emissions characteristics of this equipment make it suitable for use in
industrial areas and hospitals (CISPR 11 class A). If it is used in a residential environment
(for which CISPR 11 class B is normally required), this equipment might not offer adequate
protection to radio-frequency communication services. The user might have to move the
operating table to another place or different position.
1.7 Hand control unit warnings

Practico 145000 Operating Table User Manual
Warnings, cautions and notes

WARNING
Check the function of the accessory locking and adjustments.
WARNING
Use potential equaliation conductors with patient monitoring equipment. The terminal is
on the table base.
See Medical Electrical System requirements as specified in standard IEC/EN 60601- 1,
Clause 16.
WARNING
The head and leg section gas springs can be disposed of as metal waste after nitrogen
gas and oil has been removed. Instructions for gas releasing are available from your sales
representative.
WARNING
Use of the operating table adjacent to or stacked with other equipment can result in
improper operation. If the operating table is used in that way, compatibility with the other
equipment must be observed to verify proper operation.
WARNING
The operator and other personnel must not touch the patient or the operating table or any
other equipment which is in contact with the patient during defibrillation. Always follow the
instructions for use provided by defibrillator manufacturer when you defibrillate a patient
on the operating table.
1.9 Operating table adjustment warnings
WARNING
Activate the floor lock before adjusting the table.
WARNING
Avoid collision between accessories and external obstacles.
WARNING
eep the patients fingers, hands or other parts of the body away from the edges of the

WARNING
Downwards adjusted leg or back section may hit the table base or column casings
depending on the used height, Trendelenburg or tilt angle adjustments. Risk of causing
damage to the operating table and creating pinching haard.
WARNING
Do not place any objects on the base or under table top section. This can damage the
equipment during adjustments.
WARNING
If the table top seat section is adjusted towards the leg section, adjustment of the back
section stops automatically before colliding to the column.
WARNING
If the leg section of the table is pressed down without a patient load, play can be felt on the
operating table top. Under normal operating conditions, a patient is positioned on the table
top which eliminates the play and therefore causes no issues for normal use.
WARNING
Activate the floor lock before adjusting the table. Only Trendelenburg adjustments can be
made if the floor lock is not activated.
1.10 Care and cleaning warnings
WARNING
Disconnect the mains cable from the table and turn the main switch to the OFF position
before cleaning the table.
WARNING
Clean mattresses with neutral detergent (ph 7– 8) only. The antistatic properties of the
operating table require the use of original brand mattresses and antistatic flooring.
WARNING
Clean the Velcro tapes on table top plates with pressuried air. Replace when necessary
spare parts and instructions are available from your sales representative.
WARNING
