Safety Precautions

In General
Do not use this equipment in the presence of
flammable anesthetics.
Bed frames used with the systems can vary
greatly depending on the specific health care
setting (i.e. hospitals, nursing homes, home
care). A risk assessment must be performed
by a suitably qualified person, especially when
side rails are prescribed, to ensure the bed
meets the new IEC 60601-2-52 bed standard.
A risk assessment must be undertaken when
looking to place additional items between the
mattress surface and patient.
To ensure the alternating cells move effectively,
secure the bed sheets loosely around the
mattress.
