Usage
- Ensure the couch is placed on a level surface; adjust the stabilising foot until the frame is stable with castors retracted.
- Before seating or transferring a patient, lock the castors and verify that the couch does not move.
- Use the hydraulic foot pedal to raise or lower the couch to a safe working height before beginning examination or treatment.
- Adjust the backrest and footrest by supporting the section, operating the gas-strut lever, moving to the desired angle and releasing the lever to lock.
- For emergency recovery, return the couch to a fully horizontal position.
- Do not use the castors for transporting patients; move the couch only when it is unoccupied.
- Clean the couch upholstery routinely with warm water and mild soap using a damp cloth, then wipe with clean water and dry with lint-free towels.
- For decontamination, clean using a dilute hypochlorite solution (up to 10,000 ppm) as per manufacturer instructions and discard cleaning materials safely.
- Routinely inspect nuts, bolts, gas struts, upholstery fixings and cables (for electric versions in the 503 range) at least every six months and arrange annual service by a qualified engineer.
- Replace torn or damaged upholstery sections promptly to maintain infection control and safety.
