Joerns® Support Surface
CairTurn RT
Important Precautions
Important Notice: The equipment must be installed
and operated in the manner for which it was intended.
Facility staff/user is responsible for reading and
understanding the product user manual and contacting
Joerns if anything in this manual is unclear. Joerns will
not be held responsible for any injuries resulting from
failure to comply with the instructions and precautions
in this manual.
Warning: Joerns' specialty support surfaces are
designed as mattress replacement systems. The
risk of entrapment may occur when the equipment is
placed on bed frames that leave gaps of even a few
inches between the mattress and the headboard,
footboard, and bed or side rails. The equipment is
NOT to be used when such gaps are present.
Facility staff/user is responsible for ensuring that all
mattresses properly fit the bed frames. Joerns is not
responsible for the placement of its equipment on bed
frames that leave gaps between the mattress and
the headboard, footboard or bed or side rails which
present a risk of harm to patients.
Warning: The safe use of the equipment is maximized
when used in conjunction with bed rails; there may
be an increased risk of falls when such bed rails are
not present. Serious injury or death can result from
the use (potential entrapment) or non-use (potential
patient falls) of side rails or other restraints. Local
policies regarding the use of side rails should be
taken into account. Whether and how to use side rails
is a decision that should be based on each patient's
individual needs and should be made by the physician,
caregivers and responsible parties.
When using the mattress system, always ensure that
the patient is positioned properly within the confines
of the bed. Do not let any extremities protrude over
the side or between the bed rails when the mattress is
being used.
