IMPORTANT INFORMATION
General

The Model 4000/4001 Brewer Basic Examination Table

is designed to provide positioning and support of patients
during general examinations conducted by qualified
medical professionals. Read and understand all safety
information, operating instructions, and maintenance
requirements contained in this manual prior to operating
the table. Become familiar with all of the table functions
before using it.
The Model 4000/4001 is primarily used in examination
rooms for general examinations and minor procedures.
A wide variety of positions are provided by a manually
adjustable table top, adjustable leg extensions, stirrups,
and treatment pan. Adjustable positioning creates a safe
and convenient patient table for general examinations
and procedures performed in a doctors office.
The exam table is constructed of sheet metal, welded for
strength and longevity. With the use of release handles
located on either side of the exam table, a pneumatically
assisted manual backrest is fully adjustable from a horizontal position to a chair position. A padded adjustable
leg extension covers an autoclavable plastic treatment
pan.
The table top and leg extensions can be covered by
paper from an easily accessible paper roll holder located
at the head of the table top. The stirrups can be extended
horizontally to any position up to 16 (406 cm) and to four
lateral positions.
