English term

cradle

English to Danish Medical Medical: Instruments
This is a proofreading project about a table on which patients are placed during a scan.

"None of the accessories support the full weight of a patien. If you sit, stand, or otherwise apply excessive pressure to these devices, they break ot come off the cradle and may cause injury"
And further on
"Return the gantry tilt to 0 degree upright position, latch the cradle, and adjust the able to a comforable height for patient loading and unloading."

and further on
To prevent punching or crushing of the patient's extremities, keep the patient's hands and feet away from the edge of the moving table top/cradle and its surrounding equippment....."

It has been translated to "sengekrone" - But I am not sure about this.
Proposed translations (Danish)

vugge, leje

Som jeg læser teksten, er der tale om det underlag, som patienten ligger på, eller i alt fald den centrale del af den indretning, der beskrives. Desuden anvendes vugge faktisk også teknisk og om det, en kanon hviler på, så hvorfor ikke her?

Jeg tror heller ikke på sengekrone. Det giver kun to resultater på Google, og det ene har med en almueseng at gøre. Det andet, som faktisk refererer til en hospalsseng, tror jeg er en del, som hospitalssengen så at sige hviler på.

Bare et par betragtninger, som måske kan hjælpe dig lidt videre ...

sengehest

I believe this is about "sengehester", der spærer patienten inde så han/hun ikke falder ud. En "cradle" er en vugge, hvor barnet ikke kan falde ud. En sengekrone er jo mere en slag hovedgære
Peer comment(s):

disagree Randi Stenstrop : Cradle er et leje af en eller anden slags.

understel

Probably, it should be remembered that this isn't really about a "bed", but a "table" for scan.

L&H Teknisk ordbog offers translations of "cradle" into:
- "kedelstrø"
- "understel"
- "vugge"
- "sikkerhedsnet under højspændingsledning"

At first glance, I would guess that "understel" comes closest in this connection, but still difficult to say without further context.
