Usage

Install the couch in a suitable clinical environment with adequate space for full movement, hoist access and patient transfer, following the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Connect the couch to the mains electrical supply as specified in the product datasheet and ensure all cables are routed safely.
Before use, ensure the retractable castors are set appropriately (wheels locked when performing procedures) and the couch is stable.
Adjust the couch height, backrest angle and Trendelenburg tilt using the electric controls (hand or foot switch, depending on configuration) to achieve the desired patient position.
Position the leg supports and adjust their height and angle to support the patient’s lower limbs for gynaecological or colposcopy procedures.
Set the height-adjustable arm loops to provide comfort and security for the patient’s arms as required.
Use the seat cut-out area and, where fitted, the removable seat extension to tailor patient positioning and allow for recovery positioning.
Fit and position the removable stainless debris tray beneath the seat cut-out to collect debris and fluids during procedures; remove and clean between patients according to infection-control policies.
After each patient, clean the vinyl upholstery, arm supports, leg supports and tray with suitable disinfectants compatible with the upholstery, following local infection-prevention protocols and manufacturer recommendations.
Regularly inspect the couch, upholstery, electrical cables and moving parts for signs of wear or damage, and arrange servicing in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and local medical-device maintenance policies.
