ProcedureCouch/Table (Vertical)Install
Route the internal cables at the lifting linkage
Route the Aquilion 16 patient couch's bundled internal cables around the vertical lifting linkage — from the rising section, up through the center moving section, to the cable guide plate, and on to the top of the linkage unit — securing them at each point with the correct clamp, mounting hole, orientation, and slack length so the couch can complete its full UP/DOWN stroke without the cables twisting, pulling, or catching.
