Safety Warnings & Cautions
WARNING:
Obey these safety instructions to help prevent injury and/or equipment damage:
•Read and understand all warnings in this manual and on the unit itself prior to use
with a patient.
•The device should be operated by trained persons only.
•Authorized and qualified persons will be those who are approved by Medical
Positioning Inc. to repair or modify the product.
•Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer.
•Equipment should only be serviced by authorized personnel.
•The procedures in this manual are only manufacturer’s suggestions. The final
responsibility for patient care with respect to this device remains with the
attending physician.
•Do not use in an oxygen rich environment.
•Do not leave patient unattended while using the product.
•To reduce the risk of electric shock, grounding reliability can only be achieved
when the equipment is connected to an equivalent receptacle marked “hospital
only” or “hospital grade”.
•If damage has occurred to the power cord, immediately remove the cord from
service. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
•The battery should be periodically inspected for damage. If damage has occurred
to the battery, immediately remove the battery from service. Failure to do so
could result in serious injury or death.
•Removal of secured covers may increase the risk of electrical shock.Refer
servicing to qualified and approved personnel.
•The potential for electrical shock exists with electrical equipment. Failure to
follow facility protocols may cause death or serious injury.
•Ensure the patient is properly secured prior to using the equipment.
•To reduce the risk of a potential injury, lock casters before using equipment.
•Once the product and patient have been properly positioned for the procedure,
ensure the casters are locked and the hand controller is placed in a safe position
to prevent unwanted contact and unwanted movement of the support surface.
•To reduce the risk of the product becoming unbalanced, always position the
product in the lowest reasonable height when moving.

Safety Warnings & Cautions
EchoTable User Manual Page 6 of 45 DCR-00576
(MAN-0011-D)
•Verify the area around the product is free of impediments before operating to
prevent injury or equipment damage.
•Keep hands and feet clear from beneath the patient surface when lowering
surface height or making positioning adjustments in order to avoid possible injury.
•Keep hands clear of the Fowler section hinges during operation to avoid possible
injury.
•Sitting at the end of the patient surfaces can result in device instability. Do not
allow a patient to sit at the head end of the patient surface.
•Protect vinyl upholstery from sharp objects and abrasion to avoid damage.
•Always read manufacturer’s instructions and warnings before using any cleaning
product or disinfectant. Refer to instructions located in this manual for vinyl

Using the Sonographer Drop Sections
The Sonographer Drop Section allows right handed scanners to get closer to the patient.
It can also be adjusted to act as a patient back rest.
To use the Sonographer Drop Section as
a back rest pull up on the drop section
until it locks into position. There are two
back rest positions to choose from.
To lower from the back rest position,
rotate the handle to release the back
rest lock. Hold the handle while
lowering the drop section until it returns
