Frequently asked questions
Yes. With the Face Down / Face Up Headrest accessory, patients can be positioned prone, supine, or semi-seated. This is particularly beneficial for vitreoretinal procedures such as vitrectomy, where postoperative positioning may be required immediately following surgery.
Yes. A clearly marked red button ("Trend") on the hand control activates the Trendelenburg position. The position can be customized during installation in collaboration with hospital staff to meet local clinical preferences. This function can be useful if a patient experiences dizziness or signs of fainting.
Yes. The hand control features large, intuitive buttons with clear symbols and indicator lights that display the selected function and ongoing movements.
Yes. RiEye Mk2S has been developed to provide excellent ergonomic access for the surgeon, particularly around the patient’s head. The table also offers generous legroom underneath, allowing comfortable use of microscope pedals and other equipment commonly used in microsurgical procedures.
Yes. Patient positioning can be adjusted quickly and precisely during surgery using either the hand control or optional foot control. The backrest, seat, leg section, and headrest can be adjusted smoothly, while the table can be tilted forward and backward to optimize surgical access, patient comfort, and surgeon ergonomics. This flexibility helps improve workflow efficiency and reduce physical strain on clinical staff.
Yes. From the moment a patient approaches the table, it typically takes around 20 seconds to achieve the desired surgical position. The low seat height and patented adaptive headrest reduce the need for manual patient handling, helping to improve staff ergonomics, streamline patient positioning, and enhance workflow efficiency.
The RiEye Mk2S supports a wide range of patient positions, including Trendelenburg, reverse Trendelenburg, horizontal, seated, Fowler’s (semi-seated), and supine surgical positions. The table is designed to provide excellent patient comfort and effective pressure distribution for the back and legs during both short and long procedures.
The maximum operating height is 900 mm (35.4 in), allowing surgeons to achieve an ergonomic working position during procedures.
The minimum patient seat height is 500 mm (19.6 in), making it easy and ergonomic for patients to sit down on the operating table without assistance from clinical staff. The low seat height also facilitates safe and convenient transfers from a wheelchair positioned alongside the table.
Yes. RiEye Mk2S is a mobile operating table equipped with four large wheels (150 mm / 5.9 in). With a net weight of only 95 kg (209 lbs), it can be easily maneuvered by a single caregiver, reducing physical strain on staff while safely transporting patients in both seated and supine positions.
