9.0 Setting Up the System

M280 Overlay
1. Place the overlay on the existing bed mattress with the connecting hoses at the foot of the bed.
2. Secure overlay to bed by looping the nylon straps on the overlay around the corners of the bed
mattress. Adjust straps leaving enough slack so the corners of the mattress are not compressed when
the bed frame is in a horizontal position. Make sure the side rails can still move up and down without
interference.
M1000 Mattress
1. Place the mattress on the bed frame with the connecting hoses at the foot of the bed.
2. Secure mattress to bed frame by looping the nylon straps on mattress through the bed frame and then
back through the D-rings on mattress. Make sure the side rails can still move up and down without
interference.
3. Lower frame to its horizontal position and tighten straps.
4. Cover the mattress with the low-shear top cover and attach to the mattress by looping the Velcro
straps on the top cover through the D-rings on the mattress and tighten straps. Top cover should be
loose to prevent "hammocking".

minutes, turn the Comfort Control Dial completely counter-clockwise. Wait an additional 10 minutes,
then perform the Hand Check procedure as outlined in Section 10.0.
7. Apply hospital linens and/or incontinence pad over the top of the mattress or overlay. Linens should be
loose to prevent "hammocking".
CAUTION: Use minimal layers of sheeting and incontinence pads. Too many layers between the
