• 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 inspect for foreign objects between the support surface and the bed frame. Foreign objects may cause the
support surface to slide on the support platform.
• Always consider the use of siderails. The safe use of the support surface is maximized when used in conjunction with
siderails. 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 bed frame that does not fit the width, length, or thickness. This is to
avoid the risk of the support surface sliding, patient injury, or interference with moving parts of the bed.
• Do not use the support surface when gaps are present. The risk of entrapment can develop when the support surface is
placed on non-compatible bed frames.
• 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.

• 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 setup the support surface:
1. Make sure that the support surface fits the bed frame.
2. Place the support surface with the artwork face up at the head end of the bed frame.
3. Make sure that the mattress is placed between the mattress retainers on the bed frame.
4. Place linens on the support surface per hospital protocols.
