IMPORTANT INFORMATION

General
The highly configurable Brewer Versa Examination Table is designed to serve patients of all ages, from newborn to elderly. Versa offers two upholstery top options, a standard adult and pediatric top, that can be interchanged as the patient population changes over time. Additionally, the table can be equipped with a variety of options and accessories, including patient assist handles, stirrups, drawer warmer, pelvic tilt, electric receptacle, knee crutches and more. The ergonomically placed extra-large side drawer and strategically placed front drawer provides ample storage space. The Versa is primarily used in examination rooms for general examinations and minor procedures. The manually adjustable backrest and adjustable leg extension ensure comfort and an ideal fit. Adjustable positioning creates a safe and convenient patient exam table for general examinations and procedures. The upholstery can be covered by paper from the paper roll holder located behind the table’s headrest. The stirrups can be extended horizontally to any position up to 16 inches and to four lateral positions. The large anti-skid patient step offers secure access on and off the table and the patient assist handles support patient positioning.

OPERATION

Before Use

| CAUTION: Read this Manual
Read this manual before use of the Brewer Versa Examination Table.
---|---
| WARNING: Explosion/Fire Hazard
Do not use this table in an explosive or oxygen rich atmosphere. Doing so may result in serious
personal injury or death.
**| WARNING:** Shock Hazard
When performing cauterization or similar treatment, the patient must be insulated from the metal portions of the table by non-conductive material. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock.

Leg Extension
The leg extension is located under the seat cushion (Figure 8). It can be extended 14″ for the patient prone position. Pull leg extension out to the desired position. The leg extension pad will extend along with the leg extension.
To return the leg extension to its stored position, simply push the leg extension in.
WARNING: Fall Hazard
Do not allow patient to sit on the leg extension portion of the table. Doing so may result in serious personal injury or death. Leg Extension Pad The leg extension pad can be slid beneath the seat with the leg extension extended for easy access to the debris pan (Figure 8). Pushing the leg extension back in will allow the glides on the pad to drop into slots. The pad will once again come out with the leg extension the next time it is pulled out.
Debris Pan
A removable debris pan is built-in underneath the leg extension pad for use during examinations (Figure 8). Pull the leg extension fully out and remove the leg extension pad or slide it back under the seat to access the pan. Remove the debris pan for cleaning.
NOTICE: Avoid Liquid Spill Remove all liquid from debris pan before returning to table. Spillage from debris pan may cause damage to exam table.
Front Drawer
A storage drawer for supplies is located at the front of the table (Figure 8).

Patient Step

1. Place hand or foot into opening in front of step and gently lift while fully extending patient step (Figure 9).
2. To retract step to stowed position, gently lift while pushing step fully back into cabinet.

WARNING: Fall Hazard
Fully extend patient step to provide ample area for the patient to stand on. Failure to fully extend patient step could result in a fall causing serious injury.

Adjustable Stirrups (Optional)
Operating the Stirrups

1. To operate the stirrups, grasp end of stirrup and pull straight out of the table (Figure 10). Lift up slightly while sliding the stirrup out.
   NOTE: Applying downward pressure when pulling stirrup from table may make it difficult to move. Resistance is normal and is part of the stirrup friction locking mechanism.

2. Unfold stirrup upward to the fully open position.

3. Adjust the stirrup to the desired length by sliding it in or out.

Stirrup Lateral Adjustment

1. Lift end of stirrup slightly and then rotate outward to desired position.
   2. When the desired position is achieved, lower the stirrup to engage the lateral locking mechanism (Figure 10 and Figure 11).

2. Check that lateral locking mechanism is engaged by attempting to move stirrup assembly side-to-side without lifting on the stirrup end.

Storing the Stirrups

1. To store the stirrups in the table, grasp end of stirrup and pull straight out to its full extension.
2. Fold stirrup down against bar, then rotate it to the inner most lateral position and slide it back into the stowed position.

Operating the Patient Assist Handles (Optional)

1. To insert the patient assist handles into the mounts, partially insert shaft end into opening on top of mount. Rotate the handle until the pin on the shaft aligns with the slot and insert handle all the way down.
   Note: the patient assist handles are interchangeable.

2. The patient assist handles have two locking positions: backward at 5° and forward at 175°. Position the bar in the desired position and the bar will fall into a locking detent at each of those positions.

3. To switch from one position to the other, lift the bar straight up until the bar is disengaged from the mount detent and rotate the bar outward from the table. The bar will fall into a locking detent at the other position.

4. Be sure the patient assist handles are in one of two locking positions before use. Applying force to the bars when not in one of two locking positions may cause the bar to move.
   WARNING: Fall Hazard
   Do not allow patient to sit on the assist handles.
   Doing so may result in serious personal injury or death.

Operating the Knee Crutch Receivers (Optional)

1. The knee crutch receivers have two locking positions: rearward and frontward. Position the bar in the desired position and the spring plunger on the underside of the mount will capture the bar and lock it in position.
2. To switch from one position to the other, pull the spring plunger ring and slide the bar. Release the spring plunger ring to capture the bar and lock it in position.

TABLE ADJUSTMENTS

Patient Positioning

1. Raise the front edge of the upholstered seat (Figure 16).Rotate the pelvic tilt support bar upward to its full upright position.
2. Lower the upholstered seat onto the pelvic tilt support bar.
   Lowering the upholstered seat back to the Normal

Position:

1. Slightly raise the front edge of the upholstered seat.
2. Rotate the pelvic tilt support bar downward and lower the upholstered seat into its prone position.

NOTICE: Adjusting the Pelvic Tilt Mechanism Patient must be removed from table prior to adjusting the pelvic tilt mechanism.
WARNING: Pinch Hazard

Drawer Warmer (Optional)
The drawer warmer warms the contents of the front drawer on the foot end of the table.
To operate the warmer, turn the warmer power switch to the ON or “illuminated” position (Figure 17). The switch will illuminate to indicate that the warmer is operating.
To turn the warmer off, turn the warmer power switch to the OFF or “non- illuminated” position.
NOTE: The warmer element is located below the drawer and applies radiant heat to the drawer contents. Items closer to the element will be warmer than items at the top of the drawer.

Electrical Receptacle (Optional)
Electric models are equipped with an electrical receptacle located on the left hand side of the table (Figure 18). The maximum total load that can be plugged into the receptacle is 2A.
CAUTION
Only use receptacle up to the 2A rating. Extension cords and power strips are not intended to be used.
NOTICE: Maximum Receptacle Rating
Plugging a device into the receptacle on the side of the table with rating higher than 2A may cause the fuse at the back of the table to blow.

MAINTENANCE

****| WARNING: Shock Hazard
