Usage Guidelines
Install the arm according to the equipment mounting points provided by the compatible Midmark table or chair. Ensure secure attachment before patient use. Adjust the articulating joint slowly to the desired position while supporting the patients arm or torso. Avoid forcing movement beyond the intended range of motion.
