The HS-001F is the first table in Blackstone's operating table series, and the sheet describes it in five short lines. It is a single-column electric table. Its top travels 300 mm lengthways, the kind of movement that helps an imaging arm reach the patient, and Blackstone calls the table C-arm compatible. Controls sit on the side of the table, and the built-in battery is said to last between 50 and 80 operations on one charge. That is the full extent of the written specification.

The photograph adds detail the text leaves out. Black pads cover a top divided into head, back, seat and leg sections, with side rails along both edges. An anaesthesia screen frame stands at the head end, a padded leg holder is clamped to the rail near the foot, and a hand control hangs from the side on a coiled cable. The column wears a pale green cover and stands on a brushed metal base. None of these accessories is listed on the sheet, so the standard configuration must be confirmed.

Several figures needed to determine whether an operating table suits a theatre are missing. Blackstone gives no safe working load or maximum patient mass, although IEC 60601-2-46 requires operating tables to be tested at their safe working load. There are no ranges for Trendelenburg, lateral tilt or the back and leg sections, no word on which parts of the top are radiolucent, and no details of the battery's capacity or charging.

Medigear.uk requests each of these from Blackstone so this electric operating table can be matched to the right theatre.

A powered table with a 300 mm slide and a C-arm is designed for general theatres that also image during surgery. Orthopaedic trauma fixation, spinal work, vascular procedures and urology all bring a C-arm to the table. The slide lets staff move the patient along the top so the column or base doesn't block the imaging arm. Whether that works for a given case depends on which sections are radiolucent. The sheet does not cover that point.

The electric drive and controls handle everyday positioning. The table can be raised or lowered by 350 mm to suit the surgical team's working height. The leg holder in the photograph points to lithotomy positioning for gynaecological and urological cases. The anaesthesia screen separates the sterile field from the anaesthetist at the head. Because the table has its own battery, staff can reposition it away from a socket, and Blackstone says one charge covers 50 to 80 cases.

Patient safety questions come first when choosing a table. The safe working load decides which patients it can take, including heavier patients. Theatres running bariatric lists should ask for the load rating first. The tilt ranges decide which positions are possible. Pressure care depends on the mattress, whose material and thickness are not given.

Medigear.uk obtains the load rating, the positioning ranges, the radiolucency details and the mattress specification from Blackstone. It then shares them with the theatre manager and the clinical engineering team before placing any order.

Electric Positioning

An electric operating table removes the physical effort of positioning a patient compared with manual cranking.

Longitudinal Slide of 300 mm

Moves the patient along the top to give imaging equipment clear access.

C-arm Compatibility

Blackstone describes the table as C-arm compatible, subject to confirmation of the radiolucent sections.

Battery Operation

A charge Blackstone rates for dozens of operations means the table can be positioned without a mains lead in the way.

Wide Height Range

A 350 mm span between the lowest and highest settings helps match the table to the surgical team.

Full-Length Top

At 2070 mm long, the top takes adult patients with room for separate head and leg sections.

Side Controller

Controls on the table itself, with a hand control also visible in the photograph.

Accessory Rails

Side rails along the top take attachments such as the anaesthesia screen and leg holder shown in the photograph.

2070 × 520 mm Top

Four padded sections.

Height: 710 to 1060 mm

Electrically adjustable.

300 mm Slide

Along the table's length.

C-arm Compatible

As stated by Blackstone.

Built-in Battery

Rated for 50 to 80 operations.

Side Controller

Plus a corded hand control.

Side Rails

For mounting accessories.

Single Column

On a brushed metal base.

The HS-001F opens Blackstone's operating table series with the features a general theatre most often asks for. It has electric positioning, a 300 mm imaging slide, a battery, and a side controller, and its top size and height range are clearly stated. What the sheet leaves out matters more for a table than for most equipment. The safe working load, tilt and section ranges, and radiolucent areas determine which patients and procedures it can serve, and the battery claim needs a test basis. Medigear.uk obtains these figures from Blackstone and passes them to theatre and clinical engineering teams. This electric operating table can then be judged on its full specification rather than five short lines.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

An electric operating table from Blackstone. The top measures 2070 by 520 mm, adjusts in height between 710 and 1060 mm, and slides 300 mm lengthways. The sheet also describes it as C-arm compatible, lists a side controller and says the battery lasts for 50 to 80 operations.

It moves the tabletop along its length relative to the column. Staff can then shift the patient so the area being imaged sits over clear space rather than the column or base, which is how many tables make room for a C-arm. The sheet does not state whether the slide is motorised or which way it travels.

Blackstone describes it as C-arm compatible, but the sheet says nothing about which sections of the top are radiolucent, how much clearance there is beneath it, or whether a cassette tray is fitted. Those details decide which procedures can be imaged, so Medigear.uk requests them.

The sheet does not say. The standard for operating tables, IEC 60601-2-46, expects each table to be tested with its safe working load in place, and the general standard uses 135 kg as its default patient mass. Medigear.uk obtains the rated load and maximum patient mass before offering the electric operating table.

Blackstone's figure is 50 to 80 operations on one charge. Operations vary widely in how many movements they involve, so the figure needs its test basis, along with battery capacity, charging time, and whether the table can run from mains while charging. Medigear.uk asks for all four.

Electric control is stated, but not the movements or their ranges. Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg, lateral tilt, back and leg section angles, and any kidney bridge or flex function all need confirming. The photograph shows a top divided into four sections, which suggests several of these are available.

The photograph shows an anaesthesia screen frame, a padded leg holder, side rails and a hand control on a coiled cable, but the sheet lists only the side controller. Medigear.uk confirms which items are supplied as standard and which are extra.

Whether the table is mobile and how it locks to the floor, the mattress material and thickness, the mains supply, weight, packed dimensions, CE or UKCA marking, warranty and lead time. The sheet covers none of them, yet each affects how the table is installed and used.
