– Before performing any maintenance to the
control unit, disconnect the power lead from
the wall outlet.
– Do not insert items into any openings of the
control unit. Doing so may cause fire or electric
shock by shorting the internal components.
– The control unit must be kept away from all
heat sources and radiators during operation.
– Connect the equipment to a two or three prong
wall outlet using the five meter power lead
provided with the product.

access to the power switch and CPR Connector
at all times.
WARNING!
If this equipment is modified, appropriate
inspection and testing must be conducted to
ensure continued safe use of the equipment.
– Do not modify this equipment without
authorization of the manufacturer.
WARNING!
Risk of entrapment!
Patient entrapment with the bed side rails
may cause injury or death. A thorough patient
assessment should be completed and monitored
and the equipment should be used as specified
and maintained to reduce the risk of entrapment.
Variations in bed side rail dimensions, and
mattress thickness, size and density could increase
the risk of entrapment.
– Mattress must fit bed frame and side rails to
prevent patient entrapment. Follow the bed
manufacturer's instructions.
– After any adjustments, repair or service and
before use, make sure all attaching hardware is
tightened securely. Side rails with dimensions
different from the original equipment supplied
or specified by the bed manufacturer may
not be interchangeable and may result in
entrapment or other injury.

WARNING!
This mattress is recommended to be installed on
medical bed frames with bed side rails or assist
rails. It is preferred that the rails to be in the
raised position whenever the patient is on the
bed. Health care professionals assigned to each
case should make the final decision as to whether
side assist rails are warranted after assessing
patient risk of entrapment.
Controls on the footboard 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 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.
– Take care when positioning hoses and cables
to eliminate the risk of tripping hazards or
strangulation.

1. Hang the control unit by means of the 2 built in hangers
A at the end of the bed or place it on a horizontal
surface. (Placing the control unit on the floor will not
affect the performance, but may expose it to accidental
damage.)
2. Connect the CPR hose E to air outlets on the mattress
and control unit B, ensuring that the hose is not kinked
or twisted. Allow space for bed rails to drop freely.
3. Connect the mains power cable to the power supply
socket C of the control unit and a suitable outlet.
4. Switch on mains power of the outlet if present.
