Options for hand or foot switch with various button configurations for different functions. The couch moves while the button is pressed and stops at its limit.

The document provides detailed instructions for setting up and operating the AMC 2500 Series medical couch. Key steps include ensuring support legs are securely locked, positioning the couch at its lowest height before tilting, and using a manual footstep for patient stability during tilt. The couch features a Trendelenburg tilt option, allowing a backward tilt of 12 degrees when raised.
The couch is equipped with a battery pack requiring a 24-hour initial charge. It can operate on battery power for mobility or as an emergency backup, automatically switching from mains power when disconnected. Recommendations include minimal battery discharge between charges and keeping the battery connected to a power source when not in use.
The couch includes an echo cardio drop door for easier chest access during cardiac scanning, fold-down side rails, and adjustable armrests for patient comfort. The armrests can be adjusted in height, swivel, and tilt, and are removable for convenience.
Maintenance instructions emphasize covering the couch with a cotton sheet or paper towel to protect the vinyl from body oils. Cleaning involves warm soapy water and bleach solutions, avoiding solvents. The frame requires annual lubrication of pivot joints with silicone spray, and regular visual inspections are recommended. Electric actuators and control boxes are maintenance-free, with repairs to be conducted by professionals.
