What about cleaning and maintenance?

The Biodex Surgical C-Arm Table is virtually maintenance free. By following the instructions below at suggested time intervals, or as often as necessary, the table will remain in “like new” condition.

1. As required, cleanse all exterior surfaces and tabletop pads with a mild detergent solution, such as Parker Laboratories Protex Disinfectant or any one-step disinfectant that does not contain bleach.
2. Keep wheel assemblies free of foreign materials and dirt accumulation.
3. Periodically inspect all welds.
4. Periodically check bolts on table, tighten if necessary.
5. Periodically inspect all strap holders. Any holder that feels loose should be removed and reattached after adding a spot of Loctite^® Threadlocker (Blue #242) to the bolt threads. This should ensure that the bolt will not loosen

NOTE: When cleaning the pads, do not pull them off the c-arm table forcefully. The industrial strength Velcro will hold the pads in place, causing them to rip. Instead, reach underneath the pads and gently pull the Velcro apart.

CAUTION: Disconnect power from source before removing panel or covers. Reliable grounding achieved only by connecting this unit to an equivalent marked hospital only or hospital grade receptacle.
