2.3 Using the mattress
The mattress arrives compact rolled, carefully remove the plastic packaging
and unroll. The mattress should be unrolled within 21 days of receipt. The
mattress can be used one hour after unrolling, however it may take longer
before the mattress is fully restored to its original shape.
Before using the mattress for the first time, ensure upon arrival that there is no
damage to the mattress and cover, this includes cuts, tears and frayed edging.
Make sure that once unrolled that the cover seams sit correctly to the edges
of the mattress and that the three zips are fully closed.
If the mattress cover is compromised do not use it as this may result in
infection. Take the mattress out of service and inform the person responsible
for the mattress.
Always clean the mattress cover before using it for the first time, and in
between patients. See section 3 on how to maintain and clean the mattress
and cover.
Ensure that the surface of the bed is clear from debris before placing the
mattress onto the bed mattress platform. Not checking this may result in
damaging/puncturing of the cover, allowing fluid ingress to contaminate the
foam core.
After ensuring that the bed platform is clear from debris, place the mattress
onto the bed, the audit box should be at the footend of the bed.
Place a clean light cotton or linen type bed sheet over the mattress.
Do not use heavy duvets or tightly "tucked in" blankets which may force
additional pressure on the toes leading to damage on the bony prominences
