• Always check patient's skin regularly. Consult a physician if erythema or skin breakdown occurs. Serious injury could
result if the patient's skin condition is left untreated.
• Always use extra caution and supervision to help reduce the risk of a patient fall. Patient stability and siderail coverage
may be compromised with the use of an overlay.
• Always leave the bed frame in the lowest position when the patient is unattended to help reduce the number and severity
of falls.
• Always consider the use of siderails. The safe use of the support surface is maximized when used in conjunction with
siderails and there may be an increased risk of falls when siderails are not present. Serious injury or death can result
from the use (potential entrapment) or non-use (potential patient falls) of siderails or other restraints. Consider local
policies regarding the use of siderails. The physician operator, or responsible parties should determine whether and how
to use siderails based on each patient's individual needs.
• Always use extra caution with a patient at risk of a fall (such as agitated or confused) to help reduce the likelihood of a
fall.
• Always use extra caution when reading radiology images taken of a patient on this support surface as internal
components can cause artifacts and distort readings.
• Do not use the support surface on a larger or smaller bed frame width or length (as stated in the intended use), to avoid
the risk of the support surface sliding and patient injury.
• Do not use the support surface when gaps are present. The risk of entrapment can develop when the support surface is
placed on bed frames that leave gaps of even a few inches between the support surface and the headboard, footboard,
and siderails.
• Do not stick needles into a support surface through the support surface cover. Holes may allow body fluids to enter the
inside (inner core) of the support surface and could cause cross-contamination, product damage, or product
malfunction.

• Always be aware of devices or equipment that are placed on the top of the support surface. Damage to the surface may
occur due to the weight of the equipment, heat generated by the equipment, or sharp edges on the equipment.
• Do not put overlays or accessories inside the cover to avoid the risk of reducing pressure redistribution performance.
To install the support surface:
1. Make sure that the support surface properly fits the bed frame on that the product is being placed.
2. Make sure that the dedicated sloped heel section is installed at the foot end of the bed frame.
3. Place linens on the support surface per hospital protocols.

• Do not use the support surface as a transfer device.
• Do not use the support surface handles to lift or move the support surface with a patient on board.
• Do not stick needles into a support surface through the support surface cover. Holes may allow body fluids to enter the
inside (inner core) of the support surface and could cause cross-contamination, product damage, or product
malfunction.
• Do not exceed the safe working load of the hospital bed frame when supporting both the patient and the support surface.
Excess weight could cause unpredictable safety and performance of this product.
• Always make sure that the patient support platforms and their respective transfer gaps are adequate to support the
patient. If the space between the two patient support platforms is greater than 3 in. (7.6 cm), use the transfer bridge to fill
the gap. The transfer bridge is meant to ease transfer of a patient from one patient support platform to another.
