4.2 Preparing the Product for Use
1. Remove all packaging before use.
2. Place the mattress directly on the mattress support of the
bed or place the mattress overlay on the existing mattress.
Compress rolled products must be left to recover before use.
Follow the instructions on the packaging inlay.
Products that are delivered flat-packed can be used
immediately.
WARNING!
Insufficient repositioning of the patient can lead to
tissue compression and potential injury formation.
To relieve pressure, it is very important for the
patients to reposition themselves, or to be
repositioned, on a regular basis.
— Before using the product, always consult a
qualified healthcare professional for clinical
judgement.
— Monitor the patient frequently.
CAUTION!
— Make sure that the printed side of the mattress
cover always faces upwards.
— Ensure that the distance between the surface of
the mattress and the top of the side rail is at
least 220 mm.
CAUTION!
Risk of damage to the mattress
If holes are present in the mattress cover, there is a
risk that liquids may ingress and contamination may
occur.
— Ensure that the mattress is not jammed or
damaged by sharp edges.
— Do not place hypodermic needles, venflons,
scalpels or other similarly sharp objects on or
under the mattress.
— Do not use electrically heated blankets directly
on or under the mattress.
— Ensure that all venflons are taped down
correctly with no sharp edges exposed.
— When using bridging boards or other patient
transfer aids, check for any sharp edges or burrs
before use.
— When using the mattress on a profiling bed
ensure that the knee break is used before the
backrest.
— Attach medical equipment including infusion
pumps and monitors to appropriate bed
accessories.
— Avoid cigarette burns and pet claws puncturing
the mattress cover.
CAUTION!
Risk of Injury or Damage to Property
— Before use, check the product for any defect.
