1. INTRODUCTION
Intended Use
The Ultra Pro Ultrasound Table was 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 Ultra Pro Ultrasound 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, reducing physical stress and strain on the
sonographer while scanning.
The Ultra Pro Table is so accommodating it reduces the total amount of time required to
achieve a quality image. The table’s design features vertical height adjustment to accommodate
sonographers petite and tall, or the option to frequently change from seated to standing work
position. The motorized Fowler back is infinitely adjustable up to 80° via hand or optional foot
controller. The leg section drops down to 40° for patients with circulatory issues and 80° for
stirrup access. Five-inch locking swivel casters and a central locking system, accessible from
either side of the table, secure table position.
Sonographer and patient safety are accomplished through features such as the stirrups, side rails
and body straps. Patient comfort is assured, even though lengthy procedures by a thick mattress
and table adjustability, including Fowler positioning to 80 degrees.

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.

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
