WARNING!
Risk of Developing Pressure Injuries
The device delivers effective pressure reduction,
when the support surface is covered with a
cotton, cotton combination or linen bed sheet,
and any one of these is the only item deployed
between the support surface and the user.
– Bed sheets must be loosely fitted, with creases
smoothed out.
– Ensure that the support surface in contact with
the user is kept free from crumbs and other
food debris, and that drip cables, stents, and
other foreign objects do not become entrapped
between the support surface and the user.
– Heated over blankets must only be used
in consultation with a qualified healthcare
professional, as an increase in temperature can
increase the risk of developing pressure injuries.
WARNING!
Risk of fire or explosion!
A cigarette can burn a hole in the bed surface
and cause damage to the device. Also, patient
clothing, bed sheets, etc. may be combustible and
cause a fire. Failure to observe this warning can
result in a severe fire, property damage and cause
physical injury or death.
