Usage Guidelines
Attach the arm securely to the designated mounting point on the compatible table or chair according to manufacturer installation instructions. Adjust the articulation joints to support the patients arm at a natural angle before beginning the procedure. Ensure the locking mechanism is engaged before clinical use.
