SYMBOL IDENTIFICATION / IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The Proning Cushion is intended to support the patient in a prone position. It is indicated for use in a hospital or other

medical facility, under medical supervision.

The Proning Cushion is intended to be used in acute care provided in a hospital or other medical facility where

medical supervision and monitoring is required. This equipment is often provided to help maintain or improve the

condition of the patient in medical procedures. (IEC 60601-2-52 Application Environment 2)

The Proning Cushion may also be used in outpatient (ambulatory) care provided in a hospital or other medical facility,

CAUTION

Do not permit the patient to push down on the Crescent Face Pad in an effort to lift themselves up while dismounting the bed and/or

the table.

The Proning Cushion should not be used when a patient is under general anesthesia.

To prevent the potential of cross-contamination, it is strongly advised to use barrier techniques when the device is in use. A dispos-

able or laundered patient gown, or disposable pad are satisfactory for use as a barrier for the Torso Support and other components

and accessories, except when the patient presents with pathology that would indicate otherwise. A disposable face rest cover should

be used to cover the Face Rest Pad. Contact Oakworks for ordering information. Barrier techniques should be used in addition to

disinfection procedures, not in lieu of them.

Be sure to support the weight of the patient's head while making adjustments to the cervical positioning feature of the Platform

Frame. Make sure all cam locks are secure before relinquishing support of the positioning assembly.
