- Short fitting configuration suitable for pre-2004 Plinth Medical PL202 and PL203 couches.
- Metal housing and mounting hardware as supplied by Plinth Medical (exact alloy specifications not stated by manufacturer).
- Internal sealed hydraulic fluid (type and composition not specified in publicly available data).
Formulation
- Mechanical hydraulic pump system designed to interface with the lifting mechanism of Plinth Medical PL202 and PL203 couches.
- Single-acting hydraulic cylinder providing approximately 200 mm of vertical travel for couch height adjustment.
- Short fitting variant engineered for frame geometries used on pre-2004 couch models.
- Closed hydraulic circuit pre-filled with hydraulic fluid and supplied ready for installation by suitably competent personnel.
Packaging
- Supplied as a single hydraulic pump pack unit per order.
- Packaged by Plinth Medical / Medisave in protective packaging suitable for transport of metal hydraulic components.
- Listed lead time typically 7–10 working days from order (direct-from-manufacturer item).
Usage
- Intended for use only on compatible Plinth Medical PL202 and PL203 couches; verify model and production date (pre-2004) before purchase and installation.
- Installation should be carried out by a suitably qualified engineer, service technician or competent person familiar with medical couch mechanisms and safety requirements.
- Before installation, disconnect the couch from mains power (if applicable), remove any existing lifting mechanism according to manufacturer’s service instructions and support the couch frame safely.
- Mount the hydraulic pump pack to the designated fixing points on the couch frame, ensuring correct orientation and alignment as per Plinth Medical technical documentation.
- Secure all bolts, pins and linkages to the specified torque levels where provided and confirm free, unobstructed movement throughout the full stroke.
- After installation, test the hydraulic operation repeatedly without a patient to ensure smooth lifting/lowering and absence of leaks, unusual noises or binding.
- Periodically inspect the hydraulic pack as part of routine couch maintenance for signs of wear, leakage, damage or reduced performance and replace if necessary.
- Do not attempt to open or modify the sealed hydraulic unit; if damage or malfunction is suspected, remove the couch from service and consult Plinth Medical or an authorised service agent.
- Always follow local health and safety guidelines and any additional instructions provided by Plinth Medical or Medisave in service literature.
Contraindications
- Not suitable for use on couch models other than Plinth Medical PL202 and PL203 unless explicitly approved by Plinth Medical.
- Short fitting, 200 mm stroke version is specifically intended for pre-2004 couches; use on later frame designs may result in improper operation or safety risk.
- Do not use if the hydraulic pack appears damaged, leaking, corroded or has been modified.
- Use is contraindicated where installation cannot be carried out safely by a competent person following appropriate technical guidance.
Adverse Effects
- If incorrectly installed, may cause unstable or uneven lifting, posing risk of patient or operator injury.
- Hydraulic fluid leaks, if present, may create slip hazards or damage floor surfaces and couch components.
- Failure of the hydraulic system under load could result in sudden, uncontrolled couch height change.
- Noise, vibration or resistance during operation may indicate incorrect installation or developing mechanical fault and should prompt immediate service inspection.
Storage Conditions
- Store in original packaging in a clean, dry environment prior to installation.
- Protect from excessive moisture, corrosive atmospheres and contaminants that could damage metal components.
- Avoid impacts, crushing or bending forces on the hydraulic cylinder or fittings during transport and storage.
- Store at ambient temperatures typical of indoor warehouse conditions; avoid prolonged exposure to extremes of heat or cold.
- Keep out of reach of unauthorised personnel until installation.
Duration
Not applicable. This product is a hydraulic pump pack for treatment couches and does not directly determine clinical treatment duration.
Onset
Immediate upon correct installation and commissioning; hydraulic height adjustment becomes available as soon as the converted couch is returned to service.
