Frequently asked questions
The maximum operating height is 900 mm (35.4 in), allowing surgeons to achieve an ergonomic working position during procedures.
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.
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.
Yes. All models are powered by a high-capacity lithium battery.
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.
Yes. The charger can be connected directly to the operating table and charges the battery during operation.
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.
Under normal use, a fully charged lithium battery supports approximately 50 procedures. The actual number of procedures depends on factors such as average patient weight and how frequently the table’s motors are operated during each procedure. The estimate of 50 operating cycles is based on an average patient weight of 80 kg (176 lbs) and normal motor usage. The hand control features a battery status indicator and provides an audible warning when the remaining battery capacity is low.
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.
The battery can be charged in an external charging dock or directly on the operating table.
