read this man- The key features of Model QT-740 and QT-750 radiographic tables are as follows:
ual in its en-
tirety prior to • Large Tabletop area (85 inches long x 35.55 inches wide) provides ample
using this equip- examination platform
ment. It should
be kept in a • Four-way floating tabletop permits 30.5 inches of longitudinal travel and 10
location near inches of lateral travel for full radiographic coverage
the equipment
and readily ac- • Foot pedal controls for table float-top motions (foot pedal inhibit switch
cessible to the deactivates foot pedals to prevent inadvertent tabletop motion)
those that oper-
ate it.
• Float Handle Assembly with FLOAT push button control is provided for
operator convenience
• Small patient-to-film plane distance provides improved radiography with
minimal magnification
• Accepts all types of image receptors (buckies, grids, and stationary grid
cabinets)
• Patient handgrips are standard accessory
• AC line cord, fitted with hospital-grade plug, plugs into a 115VAC, 50/60 Hz
receptacle (optionally field wired). Also configurable for 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz
power input.
• The Image Receptor Cabinet is equipped with electric locks ensuring precise
film receptor alignment
In addition, the Model QT-750 provides:
• Heavy-duty lift mechanism allows for patient loads of up to 650 lbs.* (weight
must be centered over table base)
• Variable height tabletop, lowers to 21 inches and raises to 32.5 inches (11.5
inches total vertical travel)
• Foot pedal and hand controls for table up/down motions
• Obstruction sensors disable tabletop down motion in the event an
obstruction is detected below tabletop
* 600 lbs. capacity when table is equipped with QT-FCD (Fixed Digital Image
Receptor) option; 550 lbs. capacity when equipped when table is equipped with
QT-DDS (Digital Drawer Slide) option.

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 of
this equipment must be operated with reasonable
care. Manufacturer’s equipment recommenda-
tions described in this manual must be observed.
1. Position the patient on the table with his or her hands situated along the side
of their body, or with the hands grasping the patient handles (see Figure
3-1). Be sure that the hands remain above the table top.
3. Releasing the FLOAT Foot Pedal or the FLOAT push button (located on the
Table Control Handle) immediately activates the table top locks, thereby
inhibiting table top "float" motion.

Chapter 4 User Maintenance
OVERVIEW
This chapter is designed to assist the system user in maintaining the smooth opera-
tion of the table. The user is responsible for performing certain routine maintenance
and inspection procedures. Aside from routine maintenance, any abnormal noise,
vibration, or unusual performance should be investigated by a qualified service repre-
sentative. Preventive maintenance or any repair service should be performed only by
qualified service personnel.
USER MAINTENANCE
User maintenance consists of the following activities, which should be performed
on a daily basis:
• Visually inspect the table for wear and cleanliness
• Clean the tabletop, cassette tray, and exterior painted surfaces of the table
• Disinfect the table top surface after each use in accordancew with facility
requirements.
Cleaning
The system user is responsible for the basic cleanliness of the equipment. On
a regular basis, the table surface should be wiped clean. Painted metal sur-
faces should be cleaned using a clean cloth slightly moistened in warm soapy
water (use mild soap). Wipe with a clean wet cloth, then dry. Never use
abrasive polish on this equipment.
To remove the cassette tray from the Receptor Cabinet for cleaning, proceed
as follows:
Midwest Trays
1. Float the table top fully back.
2. Pull the cassette tray out by the handle until it stops.
3. Grasp both sides of the tray with your right hand placed near the table
and your left hand towards the tray front.
4. Locate the spring-loaded lever on the right side of the tray bottom. A
spring-loaded plate covers this hole. Press the lever with your right index
finger, lift the cassette tray up slightly and pull the tray away from the
Receptor Cabinet.
Poersch Trays
1. Float the table top fully back.
2. Pull the cassette tray out by the handle until it stops.
