Important Precautions

Important Notice: The equipment must be installed
and operated in the manner for which it was intended.
Facility staff/user is responsible for reading and
understanding the product user manual and contacting
Joerns Healthcare if anything in this manual is unclear.
Joerns will not be held responsible for any injuries
resulting from failure to comply with the instructions
and precautions in this manual.
Warning: Joerns specialty support surfaces are
®
designed as mattress replacement systems. The
risk of entrapment may occur when the equipment is
placed on bed frames that leave gaps of even a few
inches between the mattress and the head panel, foot
panel, and bed or side rails. The equipment is NOT to
be used when such gaps are present.
Facility staff/user is responsible for ensuring that all
mattresses properly fit the bed frames. Joerns is not
responsible for the placement of its equipment on bed
frames that leave gaps between the mattress and bed
head panel, foot panel, or side assists, which present
a risk of harm to patients.
Warning: An optimal bed system assessment should
be conducted on each patient by a qualified clinician
or medical provider to ensure maximum safety of
the patient. The assessment should be conducted
within the context of, and in compliance with, the
state and federal guidelines related to the use of
restraints and bed system entrapment guidance,
including the Clinical Guidance for the Assessment
and Implementation of Side Rails published by the
Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup of the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration. Further information can be
obtained at the following web address: http://www.fda.

default.htm.
When using the mattress system, always ensure that
the patient is positioned properly within the confines
of the bed. Do not let any extremities protrude over
the side or between the bed rails when the mattress is
being used.
Warning: Disconnect control unit hoses if surface
appears to be protruding outward. Remove patient
from surface and call a certified technician.
Danger Explosion Hazard: Do not use in the
presence of flammable anesthetics. Do not use in
the presence of smoking materials or open flame.
Air flowing through the air mattress will support
combustion.
