All the functions are in satisfactory working condition before the examination couch are
allotted to the next patient
Lubrication of all the mechanical joints/pins / moving parts / tightening of the bolts should
be carried out at least once in three months, to avoid unnecessary sound and wear & tear of
the examination couch
At regular intervals carry out a visual inspection and check for any mechanical damage (e.g
loose I missing rivets, screws, etc.)
If any damage or malfunction is observed, immediately report this matter to the operator
If the examination couch is not in use, it should be stored in a dry and rodent free indoor

check for functioning and any mechanical damage that may have been caused
Depending on the usage, certain moving parts may require replacement due to wear & tear.
We recommend timely replacement with original spares for safety and trouble-free
operation
Mattress impermeability could be affected by needle sticks. Users should be instructed to
avoid punctures caused by improper use of needle sticks. Failure to do so could result in
cross-infection & patient injury. The upholstery should be regularly inspected for punctures,
rips, tears, or other such damage & replaced with the suitable original mattress if required.
Smoking should be prohibited near the upholstery with/without patient, as this is a
fire hazard, and mattress, sheets & pillows generally do not have flame retardant
properties.
