INTENDED PURPOSE
The MEDISAFE
Fall Mat Premium is the ideal choice as part
®
of a comprehensive fall prevention program for providing a
safe environment for patients at high risk of falling out of bed.
High quality foam inner core construction provides maximum
absorption and rebound to reduce impact in the event of a fall.
The mat's tapered, beveled edges allow equipment to roll over
with ease and its non-slip bottom keeps the mat secure to
help prevent accidental tripping. The embossed non-slip sur-
face is not only attractive but extremely durable and puncture-
resistant. Non-slip pattern helps minimize slipping. When used
as a component of a comprehensive fall prevention program,
the MEDISAFE
Fall Mat Premium reduces the impact of a
®
fall from bed to help minimize injury. The Joint Commission's
Patient Safety Goals regulations and the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services guidelines have created increased ur-
gency for the prevention of resident falls. The patient or resi-
dent room is an area where falls frequently occur, particu-
larly when getting into or out of bed. In addition to low height
beds that have been found to help reduce the incidence of
falls; impact reduction MEDISAFE
alongside the bed have become a cost effective means to help

and there is no risk of caregivers tripping over the mat.
USE

floor. If the bed is in the middle of the room, a fall mat should
be used for each side.
NOTE
Make sure that the side with the embossed pattern and logo
is facing upwards and the non-slip underside is resting on the
floor.

the manufacturer's instructions. Fall Mats should be thor-
oughly cleaned after each patient use.
2. Superficial dirt on the cover may be removed by wiping with
soft cloth moistened with mild soap or organic cleanser and
water. This will be effective on common stains such as blood,
urine and perspiration.
3. Cleaning and infection control may be carried out on the
fall mat top cover with a sodium hypochlorite solution (0.1%
or 1000 parts per million available chlorine), 8 – 10% bleach /
water and or a EPA-registered Quaternary or Phenolic wipe
down can also be used when properly diluted to manufac-
turer's instructions. Any cleansing agent containing abra-
sives should not be used as well as any Iodophor type dis-
infectants (Betadine for example) as this will stain the cover.

nance for the top cover coated materials.
