Prone Support - Troubleshooting
Common Mistake
Solution
The head support angle position slips during the procedure
This is caused by not locking the blue thumbscrew on the Adjustable assembly adequately. Ensure that this is screwed tightly before every procedure.
The head support height position slips during the procedure
This is caused by not locking the blue lever on the Adjustable assembly to the correct position. Ensure that the blue lever is pointing vertically downward in a locked position before every procedure.
It is difficult to remove the Adjustable assembly from the Baseboard.
The Adjustable assembly locks to the Baseboard by clipping underneath the edge on the underside. To remove the Adjustable assembly you must grip the leg and tilt it inward toward the centre of the baseboard to disengage the clip, before lifting upward to remove.
The face pad slips from beneath the patients face during the procedure.
To ensure the face pad remains beneath the patients face for the duration of the procedure ensure all 4 connecting pins are fully inserted through the Face support of the Adjustable assembly.
The Baseboard does not seem secure.
To ensure the Baseboard is secure for the duration of the procedure ensure that it is pushed beneath the mattress enough. Slide the Baseboard under the mattress until it contacts the small protrusion from the underside.
