• 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 incompatible 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.
• Never transfer or transport a patient while T T r r u u T T u u r r n n is in use.
• Do not use the support surface as a transfer device.
• Do not use the support surface handles to lift or move the support surface with a patient on board.
• Do not exceed the safe working load of the hospital bed frame when supporting both the patient and the support surface.
Excess weight could cause unpredictable safety and performance of this product.
• Always make sure that the opposite siderail is raised when placing a patient on the support surface to reduce the risk of
patient fall.
• Always center the patient on the support surface. Align the patient's head toward the headboard before you start
T T r r u u T T u u r r n n . Check the patient frequently to make sure that you maintain the proper position.
• Always make sure that tubes or wires connected to the patient are long enough, stable, and secure when you use
T T r r u u T T u u r r n n .
• Do not exceed the safe working load of this product. Excess weight could cause unpredictable safety and performance
of this system.
• Do not dry-clean, iron, or autoclave this product. This will degrade the coating on the top cover.
• Do not launder this product with bleach. This will degrade the coating on the top cover.
