Mobile patient positioning table with quick-change battery

The bucky table is an inexpensive tool for X-Ray departments. However, due to the increasing use of movable stands, especially combined with digital imaging receptors, further requirements for a patient positioning table arise.

 Along with tabletop movements in XYZ directions, to optimise the advantages of movable stands, table movement is desirable with a patient in the room. To this end, Provotec GmbH & Co. KG, based in Espelkamp, has developed the Prognost XPE - a mobile patient positioning table with  floating and motorised elevating tabletop that allows variable patient positioning as well as the optimal use of modern X-ray tube/image receptor combinations.

Not having a line cable makes the Prognost XPE - Akku particularly comfortable, Provotec also points out. ‘A rechargeable battery (accu) supplies sufficient energy for moving approximately 120 patients up to desired working heights. While one accu supplies energy to the table, another is loaded in the loading station. This is very user-friendly, because the accus can be changed simply, quickly and without a tool. Even if charge signals are  overlooked and the accu is “suddenly” empty, changing it takes only seconds. The loaded accu can be removed with one hand from the loading station and replaced in the Prognost XPE - Akku against the empty one.’
