Installing The Mattress System - Invacare SoftCloud Ace User Manual

SoftCloud® Ace, SoftCloud® Pro
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.
