Mattress Setup
Secure the mattress to the moving parts of the bedframe using
the securing straps, and when the system is fully inflated it is
ready for the patient to be positioned onto the mattress.
Lay the mattress on the bed patient surface ensuring that the
air pipe connector is situated on the bottom left hand side of
the bed foot end (as viewed from the foot of the bed).
Security Straps
There are security straps fitted to the base cover of the
mattress which should be fastened loosely to convenient
points on the bedframe patient surface.
Ensure when fixing the mattress to the bed the security straps
are only fitted to the moving parts of the mattress platform.
