Arjohuntleigh Citadel Instructions For Use Manual page 10

Turning - Prior to engaging any mattress turn feature, make sure that bed
frame has side rails and that all side rails are fully engaged in their full upright
and locked position. Do not activate the turning feature on any mattress
system when patient restraints are in use.
Scale Readings - Scales / patient weights are for reference only. Scale
readings should not be relied upon for medication dosage. All equipment on
the weighed portion of the unit is included in weight displayed.
Patient Migration – Specialty surfaces have different shear and support
characteristics than conventional surfaces and may increase the risk of
patient movement, sinking and / or migration into hazardous positions of
entrapment and / or inadvertent bed exit. Monitor patients frequently to guard
against patient entrapment.
Skeletal Traction or Unstable Fracture (if not contraindicated) – With
skeletal traction, unstable pelvic fracture or any other unstable fracture (to the
extent not contraindicated), maintain physician directed angle of articulation
and guard against risks of patient migration or inadvertent deflation of
surface.
Electromagnetic Interference – Although this equipment conforms with the
intent of electromagnetic compatibility, all electrical equipment may produce
interference. If interference is suspected, move equipment away from
sensitive devices or contact the manufacturer.
Shock Hazard – Electrical shock hazard; do not remove electrical
compartment covers. Refer to qualified service personnel.
