Chapter 3 Operation


OVERVIEW

To provide precise patient positioning, Models QT-740 and QT-750 radiographic tables feature a table top that "floats" in four directions; transversely (forward and backward) and longitudinally (left and right). Model QT-750 has the addi-tional capability of table top elevation (i.e., the table top can be raised and low-ered to facilitate easy transfer of the patient onto and off of the table top).

TABLE CONTROLS

WARNING! All movable assemblies and parts ofthis equipment must be operated with reasonablecare. Manufacturer’s equipment recommenda-tions described in this manual must be observed.

WARNING! To avoid damage to the table, anyload on table top should be distributed as evenlyas possible over the support surface. Do not seatpatient at extreme ends of table top when tabletop is not centered. Patients weighing more thanapproximately 300 lbs. (136 kg) should only betransferred on or off the table from front side - inthe center.

WARNING! Do not allow patient to place his/herhands along the side or below the table rail.Injury to the patient’s hands and/or fingers ispossible.

TABLE TOP FLOAT MOTION (ALL MODELS)

Models QT-740 and QT-750 both feature a "floating" table top. With the "float-ing" table top function activated, both transverse and longitudinal positioning of the patient is enabled. To operate the float-top function, proceed as follows:

WARNING! When transferring a patient on or offthe table top, always make sure the table top islocked. If necessary, the Foot Pedal DisableSwitch may be activated to prevent unintendedactivation of the FLOAT Foot Pedal control.


Chapter 3 Operation

FOOT PEDAL/CONTROL HANDLE DISABLE SWITCH (ALL MODELS)

To prevent accidental activation of both the Foot Pedal controls (i.e., FLOAT Foot Pedal on Model QT-740 and FLOAT, UP, and DOWN Foot Pedals on ModelQT-750) and the Control Handle push buttons, a Foot Pedal/Control Handle Dis-able Switch is provided. This switch is located below the front table rail on the left end of the table (see Figure 3-5). Pressing the switch until the switch light is illuminated disables all Foot Pedal and Control Handle functions. Pressing the switch until the Foot Pedal/Control Handle Disable Switch light is not illuminated restores normal operation of both the Foot Pedal and Control Handle switches.

Chapter 3 Operation


NOTE

The Model QT-750 table is equipped with Obstruction Sensors, which detect the presence of an obstruction below the table top when the table top is being driven downward. This feature is only designed to avoid dam-age to the table and is not intended as a safeguard against per-sonal injury.

ELEVATING MOTION (MODEL QT-750 ONLY)

On Model QT-750 radiographic tables, the elevation function allows the table top to be lowered down to as low as 21 inches (533.4 mm) from floor, up to a work-ing height of 32.5 inches (825.5 mm). To operate the table top elevation func-tion, proceed as follows:

WARNING! For safety purposes on ModelQT-750 tables, an Emergency Stop Switch (seeFigure 3-6) when activated immediately removespower from the table top up/down motor. Rotat-ing the Emergency Stop Switch knob 1/4-turncounter-clockwise releases the Emergency StopSwitch and restores up/down motor power.
