Summary of Safety Precautions

WARNING
• Check patient's skin regularly. Consult physician if any redness or skin break occurs. Serious injury could
result if the patient's skin condition is left untreated.
• Do not place the control unit in the patient's bed, in contact with the patient, or under sheets or other
coverings. Doing so could cause serious injury or could affect control unit performance.
• Do not use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture or with oxygen (O
• Verify bed side rails are compatible with bed frame and existing mattress. A risk assessment must be
performed by a suitably qualified person, especially when side rails are prescribed, to ensure that the
bed meets the IEC 60601-2-52 bed standard.
• Use with appropriate top sheet and minimize layers of bedding between patient and mattress.
• Assess patient's risk of entrapment according to protocols and monitor accordingly.
• Close supervision is necessary when this product is used on or near children. Electrical burns or choking
may result from a child swallowing a small part detached from the device.
• Use this product only for its intended use as described in this manual.
• Do not operate product if the power cord or plug has been damaged.
• Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
• Never block any air openings of this product or place it on soft surfaces, where openings may be blocked.
Keep the air opening free of lint, hair, and other similar particles.
• Do not modify this equipment without the authorization of the manufacturer.
• Mattress covers have passed skin sensitization and skin irritation tests. However, if you suspect that
the patient or caregiver you may have had or is having an allergic reaction, please consult a physician
immediately.
• The power cord to the Control Unit should be positioned to avoid a strangulation hazard and/or damage
to the cord. Careful consideration is required when routing the power cable. It is recommended that plac-
ing the cord under the bed frame and attaching it to an electrical outlet at the head of bed.
• Serious injury or death can result from the use (potential entrapment) or non-use (potential patient falls)
of side rails or other restraints. The safe use of the support surface is maximized when used in conjunc-
tion with side rails; there may be an increased risk of falls when side rails are not present. Local poli-
cies 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,
operators, and responsible parties.
• When cleaning the support surface, ensure that no liquid is allowed to seep into the zipper area and
watershed cover barrier (underside); fluids allowed to come in contact with the zipper may leak into the
support surface.
• Do not expose the mattress to excessive moisture. Personal injury or equipment damage could occur.
• The use of quaternaries containing glycol ethers and/or accelerated hydrogen peroxides may compro-
mise the cover integrity and legibility.
• 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, heat generated by the equipment, or sharp edges on the
equipment.
• Do not put overlays or accessories inside the cover. Doing so may reduce pressure redistribution
performance.
• It is the responsibility of the caregiver team to evaluate the appropriate CPR protocol to be used with the
surface.
• If there is a possibility of electro-magnetic interference with mobile phones, please increase the distance
(3.3m/10.8 feet) between devices or turn off the mobile phone.
• Ensure the waterproof cap to the power switch is present and unbroken before use. Failure to do so could
increase risk of electric shock.
• Mattress contains metal snap buttons and delrin zippers and should not be exposed under X-rays entirely.
Always use X-ray cassette during portable X-ray procedure.
NOTE
The EOLE support surface must be used with a mattress cover at all times. The support surface cover may
interact with all external skin.
