5.1 Safety information
1. Remove all packaging before use.
2. Place the mattress directly on the frame of the bed.
The mattress is designed for beds with adjustable lying surface.
WARNING

It is very important for the patient to reposition themselves,
or to be repositioned, on a regular basis. This must be based
on the clinical judgement of a qualified healthcare professional.
This relieves pressure which helps prevent both tissue com-
pression and potential ulcer formation.
▸ Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before
using the Softform®Premier Active 2.
▸ Monitor the patient frequently.
CAUTION

▸ Make sure that the printed side of the mattress cover
always faces upwards.
▸ Make sure that the distance between the surface of the
mattress and the top of the side rail is at least 220 mm.
!
IMPORTANT
Strikethrough can occur in mattress covers.
▸ Medical equipment including infusion pumps and monitors
should be attached to appropriate bed accessories.
▸ For home use common causes of damage include cigarette
burns and the claws of pets that puncture covers, allowing
fluid ingress and staining.
!
IMPORTANT Risk of damage to the mattress cover
▸ To prevent accidental cover damage, do not place hypo-
dermic needles, venflons, scalpels or other similarly sharp
objects onto the mattress.
▸ Ensure that all venflons are taped down correctly with no
sharp edges exposed.
▸ When using bridging boards or other patient transfer aids,
care should be taken not to damage the mattress cover.
All transfer aids should be checked for any sharp edges or
burrs before use as these can damage the mattress cover.
▸ Make sure that the mattresses are not jammed or damaged
by sharp edges when used on beds with an adjustable frame.
▸ When using the Softform®Premier Active 2 on a profiling
bed ensure that the knee break is used before the backrest.
