The positioning capabilities of the 1700 Table
requiresspecialattentionfor possible interference
pointswhenusingmultiplefunctionpositioning. As
with the operation of any surgical table, a certain
amountofcareshouldbe exercisedtoposition the
patientsafely. Althoughthethick padsand sheets
substantially protect the patient, pinch points, lo-
cated at the joints of the top section should always
be considered. BE SURE THAT THE ARMS,
HANDS AND FINGERS OF THE PATIENT AND
THOSE OF THE OPERATING ROOM PERSON-
NEL ARE CLEAR OF ALL MOVING PARTS BE-
FORE POSITIONING THE TABLE. Proper re-
straints should always be used for patient safety.
Certain accessories such as the Armboards and
Table Side Extensions can be damaged when
changing the position of the table top sections.
Always look first to see if a desired movement is
going to interfere with any accessories in use.
The operator has the ultimate responsibility of
preventing damage to the table and surrounding
equipment or possible injury to the patient or staff.
In general, common sense will dictate when there
is a potential hazard.
The following precautions should be reviewed
by all personnel prior to operating the table.
A routine Instructional Program should be
implemented by the facility for proper usage
instructions for all personnel that may operate
this table.
In every case it is recommended to keep the
equipment away from disturbance sources in-
cludingelectromagneticfieldsinordertoavoid
any possible instability and malfunctioning of
the equipment.

a. During normal cleaning, a general visual
examination should be made checking for leaks,
loose bolts or parts, and cracked, chipped, or
missing paint. Any necessary repairs should be
made.
b. Semi-annually the following checks and
services should be performed:
1. Checkallhydraulicfittings,mini-valvesand
slave cylinders for proper operation and
any signs of leaks.
2. Check the hydraulic speed controls and
adjust if necessary.
3. Pressure check (with a gauge) the pres-
sure relief valve.
4. Checkall mechanical adjustmentsand ad-
just as necessary.
5. Check hydraulic fluid level.
6. Lubricate the slider assembly.
