Operating Enhanced Clearance Head Piece; Using Optional Pre−Op/Post−Op Head Extensions - Stryker Medical 1069 Manual De Uso

OPERATING THE ENHANCED CLEARANCE HEAD PIECE
To operate the articulating head piece, grasp either handle under the head section and squeeze. Handle (A)
releases one latch and rotates the head piece on axis "A". Handle (B) releases the other latch and rotates
the head section on axis "B". For ease of operation, it is recommended to release only one latch at a time.
WARNING
The weight of the patient's head is resting on the head piece and must be supported by the operator when
the latches are released and the head piece is being positioned. Failure to adequately support the head piece
while positioning the head could result in patient injury.
To avoid possible pinch points when adjusting the head piece, keep your fingers away from the jointed areas.
Do not reach between the side of the head extension and the articulating head piece to pull the release handle.
Finger injury could result.

ceptacle tube on the side of the Fowler frame. Pivot the extension up-
ward until it locks into place on the head piece frame. To release the
