the patients to reposition themselves, or to be
repositioned on a regular basis.
– Before using the product, always consult a
qualified healthcare professional for clinical
judgement.
– Monitor the patient frequently.
CAUTION!
– Make sure that the printed side of the mattress
cover always faces upwards.
– Make sure that the distance between the
surface of the mattress and the top of the side
rail is at least 220 mm.
