Short answer
The Hana table is a patient positioning device made by Mizuho OSI for orthopedic surgery, mainly the anterior approach to hip replacement, hip arthroscopy and knee replacement. “Hana” is the manufacturer’s product name, not a generic category. The FDA does not file it under the name “Hana”: it classifies surgical tables with orthopedic accessories as class I devices (product codes JEA and JEB), and the FDA classification records do not list the Hana by name, so this page does not assign it a code. This page is general product information, not medical advice and not a procedure guide.
Definition and scope
Mizuho OSI describes the Hana as “a patient positioning device that enables a multitude of orthopedic procedures,” ideal for the anterior approach to hip surgery and lower limb fractures. It is a capital equipment item used in an operating room, so it sits beside, not inside, the consumables and disposables that a clinic or lab supply catalogue normally covers.
The searches that lead here use several overlapping phrases: orthopedic table, orthopedic bed, fracture table, leg holder, knee positioner, hip positioner and beach chair positioner. Only some of these have a regulator or manufacturer definition behind them. The sections below rely on the terms that do, and say plainly where a phrase is informal.
How the Hana table is used in practice
According to the manufacturer’s product page, the common procedures are anterior approach total hip arthroplasty, hip arthroscopy and total knee arthroplasty, with the patient either supine or lateral. The table lets staff position each of the patient’s legs independently and articulate them: abduction, adduction, hyperextension and flexion of the lower extremities are all listed. The construction is described as fully radiolucent carbon fiber, so that imaging taken during the operation is not blocked by the table.
Accessory parts matter for reprocessing. The manufacturer’s alert states that the femoral hooks and the hook support must be cleaned and sterilized according to the hospital’s washing, decontamination and sterilization procedures before each use. Hospital reprocessing policy, not this page, governs how that is done.
Hana table specifications
These figures are the manufacturer’s published values (Mizuho OSI Hana product page, checked 2026-10-30). They are listed so that facilities and equipment staff can see what the product description states.
| Specification | Published value |
|---|---|
| Patient capacity | 450 lb (205 kg) |
| Tabletop length | 48.5 in (123 cm) |
| Length with spars | 124 in (315 cm) |
| Base width | 36 in (91 cm) |
| Tabletop height | 30 to 50 in (76 to 127 cm) |
| Trendelenburg and lateral tilt | 12 degrees each |
| Spar range | 28 degrees up (10 with lift assist), 35 down, 20 adduction, 45 abduction |
| Electrical supply | 100 V 50/60 Hz; 120 V 60 Hz; 220 to 230 V 50/60 Hz |
Two practical facts follow directly from the table. First, the length with spars is more than twice the tabletop length, so the footprint of the table in use differs from the tabletop figure alone. Second, the table is mains powered, with three supply options listed; the FDA classes AC-powered tables separately from manual ones, as shown below.
Fracture tables and orthopedic tables: what the FDA classifies
Under 21 CFR 878.4960, operating tables and accessories are “AC-powered or air-powered devices usually with movable components, intended for use during diagnostic examinations or surgical procedures to support and position a patient.” They are class I (general controls) and exempt from premarket notification (subpart E of part 807), subject to the limitations in 21 CFR 878.9. A powered table can be sold without a 510(k), but the exemption has conditions.
The openFDA device classification database (data last updated 2026-10-19, checked 2026-10-30) lists these product codes, all in the General and Plastic Surgery review panel:
| Code | Name in the FDA database | Class | Regulation |
|---|---|---|---|
| JEA | Table, Surgical With Orthopedic Accessories, AC-Powered | 1 | 21 CFR 878.4960 |
| JEB | Table, Surgical With Orthopedic Accessories, Manual | 1 | 21 CFR 878.4950 |
| FQO | Table, Operating-Room, AC-Powered | 1 | 21 CFR 878.4960 |
| FWW | Table, Operating-Room, Pneumatic | 1 | 21 CFR 878.4960 |
| GDC | Table, Operating-Room, Electrical | 1 | 21 CFR 878.4960 |
The FDA database has no entry called “fracture table” or “Hana.” A refurbisher’s listing calls the Hana “a fracture table,” which shows that the phrase is used in the trade, but the regulatory home for tables with orthopedic accessories is JEA and JEB. Related CASRAI pages on traction and fracture-care equipment, such as Bucks traction, cervical traction devices, traction splints and bone stimulators, cover neighbouring devices with the same kind of classification detail.
Common misunderstandings
“Hana table” is a generic name for any orthopedic table
It is not. Hana is Mizuho OSI’s product name. Searches for an orthopedic table, orthopedic bed or fracture table may lead to other manufacturers’ products, and the FDA categories above are not brand-specific.
Class I means no rules apply
Class I devices are subject to general controls. The 510(k) exemption under 21 CFR 878.4960 is itself “subject to 878.9,” so the exemption has limits.
The table alone is the whole system
The manufacturer lists femoral hooks and a hook support as parts that are reprocessed before each use, and describes independently articulating spars. The accessories and the table are managed differently.
Every positioner is a Hana
Leg holders, knee positioners, hip positioners and beach chair positioners are names people use for positioning products. This page does not define them because no regulator or manufacturer definition is cited for each term; they are not interchangeable with the Hana by default.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Hana table?
A patient positioning table from Mizuho OSI for orthopedic procedures, including anterior approach hip replacement, hip arthroscopy and knee replacement (manufacturer page, checked 2026-10-30).
Is a Hana table a fracture table?
The manufacturer lists lower limb fractures among its uses, and one refurbisher calls it a fracture table. The FDA has no product code by that name; tables with orthopedic accessories are under JEA and JEB.
What FDA class is an orthopedic surgical table?
Class I for both product codes JEA and JEB, under 21 CFR 878.4960 and 878.4950 respectively, per the openFDA classification database, checked 2026-10-30.
Why do descriptions call the Hana radiolucent?
The manufacturer describes a fully radiolucent carbon fiber construction, which it says gives unobstructed intraoperative imaging.
