WARNING!
Electrical shock hazard!
– Do not remove control unit shroud.
– Refer to qualified service personnel.
– Before performing any maintenance to the
control unit, disconnect the power lead from
the wall outlet.
– Do not insert items into any openings of the
control unit. Doing so may cause fire or electric
shock by shorting the internal components.
– The control unit must be kept away from all
heat sources and radiators during operation.
– Connect the equipment to a two- or three-prong
wall outlet using the five meter power lead
provided with the product.
– Position the device in such a way that ensures
access to the power switch and CPR Connector
at all times.
WARNING!
If this equipment is modified, appropriate
inspection and testing must be conducted to
ensure continued safe use of the equipment.
– Do not modify this equipment without
authorization of the manufacturer.
WARNING!
Risk of entrapment!
Patient entrapment with the bed side rails
may cause injury or death. A thorough patient
assessment should be completed and monitored
and the equipment should be used as specified
and maintained to reduce the risk of entrapment.
Variations in bed side rail dimensions, and
mattress thickness, size and density could increase
the risk of entrapment.
– Mattress must fit bed frame and side rails to
prevent patient entrapment. Follow the bed
manufacturer's instructions.
– After any adjustments, repair or service and
before use, make sure all attaching hardware is
tightened securely. Side rails with dimensions
different from the original equipment supplied
or specified by the bed manufacturer may
not be interchangeable and may result in
entrapment or other injury.

WARNING!
This mattress is recommended to be installed
on medical bed frames of an appropriate size
with bed sides or assist rails, to accommodate
the mattress. It is preferred that the rails are in
the raised position whenever the patient is on
the bed. Healthcare professionals assigned to
each case should make the final decision whether
assist rails are warranted after assessing patient
risk of entrapment.
Controls on the foot bed end may be obstructed
by the control unit on a few bed frames. It may
be necessary to relocate the control unit.
– Before placing the patient on the bed, check
that connector and power cord are clear of
moving bed components.
– Operate all motorised bed frame functions
through their full range of motion to be certain
that there is no pulling, interference or pinching.
– Take care when positioning connector and
cables to eliminate the risk of tripping hazards
or strangulation.
IMPORTANT!
Inappropriate handling can damage the mattress
cover.
– It is recommended that two people lift/carry
mattresses.
– Avoid contact with jewellery, nails, abrasive
surfaces etc.
– Do not drag mattresses.
– Avoid contact with wall, door frames, door
catches or locks etc.
– Do not transport in roll cages unless completely
protected from the sharp edges of the cage.
