Installing the support surface

WARNING
• Always check patient's skin regularly. Consult a physician if erythema or skin breakdown occurs. Serious injury
could result if the patient's skin condition is left untreated.
• Always use extra caution and supervision to help reduce the risk of a patient fall. Patient stability and siderail
coverage may be compromised with the use of an overlay.
• Always consider the use of siderails. The safe use of the support surface is maximized when used in conjunction
with siderails and there may be an increased risk of falls when siderails are not present. Serious injury or death can
result from the use (potential entrapment) or non-use (potential patient falls) of siderails or other restraints.
Consider local policies regarding the use of siderails. The physician operator, or responsible parties should
determine whether and how to use siderails based on each patient's individual needs.
• Always use extra caution with a patient at risk of a fall (such as agitated or confused) to help reduce the likelihood
of a fall.
• Do not use the support surface on a larger or smaller frame width or length. This product is intended to match the
stretcher litter deck. This is to avoid the risk of the support surface sliding and patient injury.
• Always inspect for foreign objects between support surface and support platform. Foreign objects may cause the
support surface to slide on the support platform.
• Do not use the support surface when gaps are present. The risk of entrapment can develop when the support
surface is placed on frames that leave gaps of even a few inches between the support surface and the headboard,
footboard, and siderails.
• Do not stick needles into a support surface through the support surface cover. Holes may allow body fluids to enter
the inside (inner core) of the support surface and could cause cross-contamination, product damage, or product
malfunction.
CAUTION
• Always be aware of devices or equipment that are placed on the top of the support surface. Damage to the surface
may occur due to the weight of the equipment, heat generated by the equipment, or sharp edges on the equipment.
• Do not put overlays or accessories inside the cover to avoid the risk of reducing pressure redistribution
performance.
To install the support surface:
1. Make sure that the support surface properly fits the frame on that the product is being placed.
2. Align the low profile Velcro® on the bottom cover to the frame.
3. Place linens on the support surface per hospital protocols.

Transferring a patient from one patient support platform to another

WARNING
• Do not use the support surface as a transfer device.
• Do not stick needles into a support surface through the support surface cover. Holes may allow body fluids to enter
the inside (inner core) of the support surface and could cause cross-contamination, product damage, or product
malfunction.
• Do not exceed the safe working load of the support surface. Excess weight could cause unpredictable safety and
performance of this product.
