and radiators during operation.

WARNING Risk of entrapment!

Patient entrapment with the bed side rails may cause injury or
death.
Proper patient assessment and monitoring, and proper main-
tenance and use of equipment is required to reduce the risk
of entrapment. Variations in bed rail dimensions, and mattress
thickness, size and density could increase the risk of entrap-
ment.
▸ Mattress must fit bed frame and side rails snugly to prevent
patient entrapment. Follow the bed manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
▸ After any adjustments, repair or service and before use,
make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. Rails
with dimensions different from the original equipment sup-
plied or specified by the bed manufacturer may not be inter-
changeable and may result in entrapment or other injury.
WARNING

The Softform Premier Active 2 is recommended to be ins-
®
talled on medical bed frames with bed sides or assist rails. It is
preferred that the rails to be in the raised position whenever
the patient is on the bed. Healthcare professionals assigned
to each case should make the final determination whether
side assist rails are warranted after assessing patient risk of
entrapment.
Controls on the footboard may be obstructed by the power
unit on a few bed frames. It may be necessary to relocate the
power unit.
▸ Before placing the patient on the bed, check that air hoses
and power cord are clear of moving bed components.
▸ Operate all bed frame motorized functions through their
full range of motion to be certain that there is no pulling,
interference or pinching.
