Setup

Before Using Power-Lift Stirrup

The Power-Lift Stirrups (see Figure 2-1) are a non-invasive medical device designed to provide safe, comfortable support and independent, secure positioning for the patient’s legs during surgery. The Power-Lift Stirrups attach to U.S. standard side rails only, next to the patient’s hip, using two rail clamps. The patient’s foot and lower leg are secured into the well- cushioned, contoured boot (uniformly supporting the leg weight). By turning the release handle at the distal end of the leg holder, the caregiver is able to align the toe, knee, and opposite shoulder simultaneously adjusting- the lithotomy and abduction angles while keeping both left and right positions in phase. The Power-Lift Stirrups will be used in surgical procedures such as laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomies and Nissen Fundoplication’s. Power-Lift Stirrups are rated for use with patients up to 6’ 7” (2007 mm) tall and weighing up to 500 lbs (226 kg). User must verify patient weight capacity of the surgical table with this accessory applied. Before using stirrups, ensure there are no scratches, dents, or change in appearance. Verify locking handle and clamp work properly.

WARNING:  PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD:

• To prevent patient and/or user injury and/or equipment damage, read and understand all instructions presented in this manual before using the Power-Lift Stirrups. Follow each step in the order presented in these instructions. If you need technical assistance additional instructions, call STERIS.
• To prevent patient and/or user injury and/or equipment damage, apply Power-Lift Stirrups only to U.S. standard side rails like those equipped on the Amsco@ 3080/3085 SP surgical tables. Figure 2-3. Power-Lift Stirrups Release Handle
