INTRODUCTION
The I.V. CEILING POLE device swivels, is movable and adjustable. It is anchored to the ceiling by means of a small steel round structure (module 1), with bushings and bolts; the aluminium beam (module 2), swivels 360 clock- or counterclockwise. The IV bottle supporting shaft (module 3) is telescopic, running from one end to the other onto module 2, allowing for the simultaneous utilization of 8 bottles or 4 bottles and infusion pump.
OPERATION
For adjusting the height of the telescopic hook, grasp the upper section firmly and turn the lower section slightly, to either left or right, loosening it. Push the shaft upwards or pull it downwards and choose the desired height. To lock it up, just repeat the same movement to the left or to the right.
INSTALLATION
The installation of the I.V. CEILING POLE is very easy. To anchor it to the ceiling use two bolts and bushings (attached). The bushing must be driven into the concrete, beyond the plaster.
For false ceilings, special bushings are utilized (attached).
MAINTENANCE
The device requires no maintenance, except preventive visual maintenance for verifying the anchoring of the supporting bar.
Each six months the anchoring and firmness of the support must be checked as well. Further, it is necessary to clean the device as often as necessary.
The track must be cleaned with an alcohol soaked sponge, to make sure no dust or other particles hamper the free movement of the shaft. This maintenance cleaning is in addition to regular hospital asepsis care. Replacement of parts such as bolts, hooks etc which are subject to wear or damage must be done whenever necessary for normal wear, breaking, corrosion, accident, misuse ou any other such defects.
The device does not require any lubrication.
