WARNINGDO NOT unlock brakes when a patientis on the table. An uneven patientweight load may cause instability.

NOTEIn case of a power failure or an electri-cal problem within the table, the emer-gency brake release system can beused to move the table. The controllever for this function is located on theside of the table base and is identifiedby an EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASElabel. Turn the lever counterclockwiseto release the brakes.

WARNING•The Emergency Brake Release Valvemust be closed and tightened (clock-wise) before activating any hydraulicfunction.

•If the Emergency Brake Release Valvehas been operated, the UNLOCK but-ton on the pendant control will have tobe pressed before brakes will lock again.

NOTE•If brakes fail to set, make sure theEmergency Brake Release Lever is tight(clockwise).


NOTE•Turning the Main Power Switch ON willchange the table operation to 120 VACpower regardless of the position of theBATT button.

•If Battery operation is activated whileMain Power Switch is ON there will beapproximately a 4 second delay beforeBattery operation activates.

NOTEThe table will operate correctly on bat-tery power with the power cord con-nected to a wall outlet or disconnected.

The extreme positioning capabilities of the 6500Series Table requires special attention for possibleinterference points when using multiple functionpositioning. As with the operation of any surgicaltable, a certain amount of care should be exercisedto position the patient safely. Although the thickpads and sheets substantially protect the patient,pinch points, located at the joints of the top sectionshould always be considered. BE SURE THATTHE ARMS, HANDS AND FINGERS OF THEPATIENT AND THOSE OF THE OPERATINGROOM PERSONNEL ARE CLEAR OF ALL MOV-ING PARTS BEFORE MOVING THE TABLE.Proper restraints should always be used for patientsafety.

Certain accessories such as the Uro-Drain Tray,Armboards and X-Ray top can be damaged whenchanging the position of the table top sections.Always look first to see if a desired movement isgoing to interfere with any accessories in use.

The operator has the ultimate responsibility ofpreventing damage to the table and surroundingequipment or possible injury to the patient or staff.In general, common sense will dictate when thereis a potential hazard.

The following precautions should be reviewedby all personnel prior to operating the table.

WARNINGIndicates a possibility of personal injury.

CAUTIONIndicates a possibility of damage toequipment.

NOTEIndicates important facts or helpful hints.

WARNINGRisk of electrical shock. Make surepower cord is disconnected prior toaccessing fuses.

NOTEActivating any function button will acti-vate the brake system. Using the TABLEUP function to set the brakes providesa visual assurance that the brakes arelocked. As the brake cylinders areextending, the entire table will moveslightly. When the table top begins toelevate, the brakes are fully locked.

SPECIAL USER ATTENTION

NOTEWith an evenly distributed patient weightload, all table positioning functions willoperate smoothly and quietly with apatient weight of up to 500 pounds.(400 pounds SN-1991-5&P).

WARNINGTo maximize patient safety, utilizeproper restraint methods during extremetrendelenburg positioning.

WARNINGTo maximize patient safety, utilizeproper restraint methods during extremelateral tilt positioning.

CAUTIONTo prevent damage to the kidney lift, asafety interlock prevents the back sec-tion from going above horizontal if thekidney lift is not all the way down.

WARNINGThe leg section may hit the table baseor the floor if both the leg and elevationsystems are placed in their full downposition.

NOTEWhen REFLEX button is activated, ifKidney Bridge is up, the back sectionwill not go above horizontal.

NOTETo prevent damage to the kidney lift, asafety interlock prevents the kidney liftfrom going up if the back section israised above horizontal.

NOTEElevation, kidney lift, and brake systemfunctions are not affected by the returnto level function.

WARNINGIf the patient position is reversed on thetable (patient's back on the leg section),the patient weight limit is 250 lbs.

WARNINGEnsure that the leg section is properlyengaged and secured to pins beforeuse to prevent injury.

NOTEBattery Operation must be turned OFFat the pendant control. It can not beturned Off using the main power switch.

NOTEWhen the amber light starts to blink(indicating low power in battery) thetable will operate for approximately 5continuous minutes, typically longenough to use the table for the rest ofthe day.

WARNINGThe charging system operates ONLYwhen the table is in AC120V operationmode.

NOTEThe table can be operated on 120VACpower while the battery is being re-charged. The green AC 120V indicatorlight (on the pendant control) will illumi-nate confirming 120VAC operation.

NOTEThe emergency back-up controlswitches will function when the table isoperating on 120VAC power, batterypower, or turned off.

NOTEThe main power switch can be placed inthe OFF position to completely deacti-vate all table functions if required dur-ing certain procedures or in case ofemergency.


WARNINGThe Emergency Brake Release Valvemust be closed and tightened (clock-wise) before activating any hydraulicfunction.

CAUTIONCaution should be taken when cleaningthe table to prevent excessive fluid en-try into electrical connectors.

WARNINGAlways follow OSHA blood-borne patho-gens standards for protective clothing,including gloves, masks and eye pro-tection when cleaning the surgical table.

CAUTIONThoroughly read and follow themanufacturer's directions for all clean-ing fluids. DO NOT use cleaners con-taining phenolics.

CAUTIONWhen using spray cleaners DO NOTspray fluids directly into electrical re-ceptacles or micro switches.

CAUTIONBefore replacing pads on the table,make sure the pads and all matingsurfaces are completely dry. Moisturetrapped between the pads and matingsurfaces may cause distortion of tabletops.

NOTENormal table top position is with thehead (and back) section over the powercord end of the base.

WARNINGAlways lock the table top in positionafter rotation. DO NOT rotate the topwith an unevenly distributed patientweight load as instability may result.

WARNING•Make sure the TOP ROTATION LOCKHANDLE is tightened and the brakesare set before transferring the patient.

•Exercise caution with the table toprotated 90° to the base since an improp-erly distributed patient load may causethe table to be tipped over. A tablesupport rod is required for 90° position-ing. See Specialty Positioning.

NOTEAlways follow current AORN JournalGuidelines to ensure proper cleaningand disinfection procedure.

1-1. General

SKYTRON’s Elite 6500 Series Surgical Tables areelectro-hydraulically operated, general purpose sur-gical tables. See figure 1-1.

The electro-hydraulic positioning functions oper-ated by the hand-held, push button, pendant controlunit are: trendelenburg, lateral tilt, back section,elevation, leg section, flex/reflex, kidney lift, returnto level, and the floor lock/brake system.

Manual controls are provided for head sectionpositioning, table top rotation, emergency brakerelease and leg section removal.

1-2. Power Requirements

The Elite 6500 Surgical Table requires a 120VAC,60 Hz electrical power supply. The table is equippedwith a 15 foot long power cord with a standard threeprong, hospital grade plug. The electrical protec-tion fuses are located behind a cover plate in theelectrical enclosure on the front edge of the base. Figure 1-2. Power Switch and Fuse Location

SECTION I INTRODUCTION

1-4. Floor Lock/Brake System

The floor lock/brake system consists of four self-leveling, hydraulic brake cylinders which raise andsupport the table base off from the casters. Pressthe TABLE UP button on the pendant control to setthe table’s brakes. An electronic timer will activatethe brake system until the brakes are completelyset, approximately 8-10 seconds.

NOTEActivating any function button will acti-vate the brake system. Using the TABLEUP function to set the brakes providesa visual assurance that the brakes arelocked. As the brake cylinders areextending, the entire table will moveslightly. When the table top begins toelevate, the brakes are fully locked.

To unlock the brakes, press the UNLOCK buttonand release. The brakes will retract automaticallyin approximately 7-8 seconds.


NOTEIn case of a power failure or an electri-cal problem within the table, the emer-gency brake release system can beused to move the table. The controllever for this function is located on theside of the table base and is identifiedby an EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASElabel. Turn the lever counterclockwiseto release the brakes.

WARNING•The Emergency Brake Release Valvemust be closed and tightened (clock-wise) before activating any hydraulicfunction.
