the stability of the table.
h If there is an extension device attached to the
table or if the patient is positioned in knee-
elbow position, the stability of the table will be
diminished. Improve the stability of the table by
moving the table into such a position as to
make the double castors at the foot end of the
table point to the foot end.

Introduction
10 Operating manual
h An unfavourable position of the double castors
may diminish the stability of the table. It may
help to move the operating table in such a way
as to raise the stability. Please see the examples
given in the illustration.
h A patient weight of max. 135 kg allows all
surgical interventions to be carried out in either
orientation of the patient (patient’s head lying
at head or foot end of the table), provided the
castors of the operating table are blocked.
h In the case of normal patient orientation and
table-top in mid-position (for operating tables
with longitudinal shift function) the operating
table may be charged with a patient weight of
max. 185 kg. Upon patient transfer, or when
letting the patient mount the operating table,
make sure that the table-top is loaded mainly
above the table column. Familiarize yourself

Description of the operating table
12 Operating manual
The operating tables OPX mobilis can be equipped
differently, depending on the model.
All operating tables are mobile. They are equipped with
four electrically conductive swivel-type double castors
with central brake. The operating table models with a “C”
in their type designation have got an additional
directional castor.
All operating tables are equipped with mechanically
operated hydraulic pumps. The operating table of the
200 model series have got two hydraulic adjustment
functions: Height adjustment Raise/Lower and
Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg. The tables of the
300 model series have got an additional lateral
adjustment function.
Operating tables with an “E” in their type designation are
equipped with an additional electrically-driven hydraulic
pump. In this case the operating table is equipped with a
hand-held remote control unit as well, and with
rechargeable batteries installed inside the floor pan.
Operating tables with an “L” in their type designation are
equipped with a table-top with longitudinal shift function.
By means of this feature, such parts of the patient’s body
can be screened which under normal circumstances are
inaccessible to the C-arm equipment.
Operating tables with a “G” in their type designation are
equipped with an integrated kidney bridge. The
integrated kidney bridge is adjusted hydraulically by
means of the foot pump.
All operating tables can be equipped with X-ray cassettes,
which can be inserted below the table-top either from the
head end or from the foot end.
All operating tables can be adapted optimally to various
applications by means of accessories.
According to the regulations of European Standard
60601-2-46, the operating tables are designed to carry
a maximum patient weight of 135kg. In case a higher
charge is intended, please observe the instructions given
below.
h A patient weight of max. 135 kg allows all
surgical interventions to be carried out in either
orientation of the patient (patient’s head lying
at head or foot end of the table), provided the
castors of the operating table are blocked.
h In the case of normal patient orientation and
table-top in mid-position (for operating tables
with longitudinal shift function) the operating
table may be charged with a patient weight of
max. 185 kg. Upon patient transfer, or when
letting the patient mount the operating table,
make sure that the table-top is loaded mainly
above the table column. Familiarize yourself
with the reactions of the operating table under
this kind of charge before starting a surgical
intervention.
Pads
The operating tables are normally equipped with black
antistatic pads. Coloured pads, which, however, are not
electrically conductive, are available upon special
request. The antistatic black version fulfils the limits of
resistance according to ISO 2882. Coloured pads are not
electrically conductive, which means that in this case the
operating table is not explosion-proof.
Safety devices
All operating tables are equipped with electrically
conductive swivel-type double castors, with (normally)
electrically conductive pads, and with a potential
equalization socket.

All operating tables are mobile. Depending on the
model, they are either equipped with
–four double castors with central brake
–four double castors with central brake and an
additional directional castor.
Moving and locking the operating table
g Danger!
Patients run the risk of falling off the operating
table unless they are secured on the table-top.
Secure the patient to the table-top according to
professional standards.
•Move the table into the desired position and then turn
the castors outwards in order to improve the stability
of the operating table.
h The position of the castors will bear influence
on the stability of the operating table.
v Caution!
If the operating table is positioned on a moist or
freshly cleaned floor, please keep in mind that
the frictional forces will be diminished. The
operating table may therefore be moved by
external force even if the double castors are
blocked. Make sure before starting an
intervention that the operating table is in a
sufficiently stable position.

Operation
16 Operating manual
The operating tables, except the standard model, are
equipped with an additional directional castor. The
directional castor can be activated by means of a foot
pedal for the brake and for the directional castor.
The pedal for the brake and for the directional castor can
have three different positions.
–If the pedal is raised, the operating table will move in
straight run. An additional directional castor
positioned below the height adjustment column is now
touching the ground.
–If the pedal is in mid position, the operating table can
easily be moved in any direction. The directional
castor is retracted.
–If the pedal is pressed down, the operating table is
secured against unintentional movement.
g Danger!
Patients run the risk of getting hurt when the
operating table is moved while they are lying on
top in knee-elbow-position. Do not move the
table with a patient lying on top in knee-elbow-
position.
g Danger!
Patients run the risk of getting hurt if the
operating table is moved with an attached
extension device, due to its diminished stability
against tilting. Do not move the operating table
with an attached extension device when a
patient is lying on top.
•In order to move the operating table in straight run,
raise the pedal completely.
•In order to move the operating table easily in any
desired direction, raise the pedal into mid-position.
•Move the operating table into the desired location.
•Secure the operating table afterwards by pressing the
pedal completely down.

Potential equalization socket
The operating table is equipped with a potential
equalization socket. You will find the potential
equalization socket at the front side of the floor pan.
g Danger!
Patients may be exposed to danger by
electrostatic tensions. By means of the potential
equalization socket electrostatic tensions are
conducted to earth. Always connect the
potential equalization socket of the operating
table to earth before use.
•Before putting the operating table into operation,
connect the potential equalization socket to the earth
connection.

Operation
18 Operating manual
Battery
If the operating table is equipped with an electro-
hydraulic pump, this pump draws its energy from
batteries installed inside the floor pan. The batteries have
to be recharged regularly in order to avoid an exhaustive
discharge.
g Danger!
Plugging the plug of the charging cable in or
out may produce sparks. In order to avoid
danger of explosion, the batteries must not be
charged inside the operating theatre during
surgical interventions.
Charging the batteries
h The batteries should be recharged regularly, e.
g. overnight. The batteries cannot be
overcharged if you use the battery charger
which comes with the table.
a Attention!
If the batteries of the operating table are
charged by means of a battery charger other
than the one supplied with the table, the
batteries may get damaged. Always use the
original battery charger for charging the
batteries.
The hand-held remote control unit is equipped with LEDs.
The green LED is on when the batteries are fully charged.
The yellow LED will be on as soon as the batteries have to
be recharged. When the red LED is on, the electro-
hydraulic pump can no longer be activated before the
batteries have been recharged.
•If the red LED is on, switch the main switch at the
control panel off, use the foot pump in order to adjust
the table-top until the operation is finished, and
recharge the batteries afterwards.
h The fuses for the electro-hydraulic pump (F1 =
10 A, time lag type, 5 x 20 mm) and for the
charging current (F2 = 3.15 A, time lag type, 5
x 20 mm) are also inserted into the control
panel.

Battery charger
The battery charger is fit for a voltage input of between
90V to 264V. It can be equipped with the feed cable
corresponding to the requirements on site.
•In order to charge the batteries, move the operating
table out of the operating area.
h The batteries cannot be charged as long as the
main switch is on.
h The charging current is up to 2A. Make sure
that the correct fine-wire fuse (3.15A, slow-
blow type) has been installed inside the fuse
holder F2 for charging current. This is especially
important for the more ancient models of the
OPX mobilis range.
•Switch the main switch at the control panel off.
The charging cable of the battery charger is connected to
the operating table by means of a plug contact. You will
find the socket for the battery charger at the control panel
at the left hand side of the floor pan.
The plug and the charging socket are marked by dots.
The plug will lock inside the charging socket if it is
plugged into the charging socket with the dots in
alignment.
h The control panel is equipped with a covering
sheet, which is designed to protect the control
electronics against electrostatic discharge
current. Fold this covering sheet up in order to
get access to the control panel.
•Plug the plug of the battery charger into the charging
socket so that the marking dots are in alignment and
press the plug in until it locks inside the charging
socket.
•Connect the battery charger to the mains power
supply.
The operating modes of the battery charger are indicated
by means of a 3-coloured LED.
