TRANSFERRING OF PATIENT FROM ONE PATIENT SUPPORT PLATFORM TO ANOTHER (CONTINUED)
WARNING
• To avoid the risk of patient injury, do not transfer the patient from one bed to another using the support surface .
• To avoid the risk of patient injury, do not use the transfer bridge to support patient load . If the space between the two
patient support platforms is greater than 3 in (7,62 cm), use the transfer bridge to fill the gap . The transfer bridge is
meant to ease transfer of a patient from one patient support platform to another . Always make sure that the patient
support platforms and their respective transfer gaps are adequate to support the patient .
To transfer the patient from one patient support platform (for example, bed, stretcher, gurney, operating table) to
another:
Prerequisite: Two (2) operators will be required for this task .
1 .
Center the patient on the support surface .
2 .
Position one patient support platform alongside the other patient support platform as closely as possible .
3 .
Set the brakes to "ON" for both patient support platforms . Only use IsoGel AIR for patient transfers between fixed
patient support surfaces that are level with one another .
4 .
Raise the patient support platform siderail located opposite the patient transfer .
5 .
Transfer the patient following all applicable safety rules and institution protocols to ensure patient and operator
safety . Do not use IsoGel AIR support surface to transfer the patient to other surfaces .
CAUTION
• To avoid the risk of patient injury, the operators should evaluate the appropriate CPR protocol to be used with the
unit .
MANAGING INCONTINENCE/DRAINAGE
This support surface is not intended to manage incontinence . Therefore, it is recommended to use incontinence
management devices when appropriate . Disposable diapers or incontinence pads may be used . Ensure appropriate
skin care is provided following each episode .
WARNING
• To avoid the risk of equipment damage, be aware of devices or equipment placed on the top of the support
surface . Damage to the surface may occur due to the weight of the equipment, excessive heat generated by the
equipment, or sharp edges on the equipment .
• It is the responsibility of the operator to monitor the patient and the patient's skin condition at regular intervals, per
hospital protocols, to ensure patient safety and proper support surface performance . Consult a physician if erythema
