Risk and Precautions:

• Transfer:
  - Standard precautions should be taken during patient transfer.
• Side Rails and Restraints:
  - Use or non-use of restraints, including side rails, can be critical to patient safety.
  - Serious injury or death can result from the use (potential entrapment) or non-use (potential patient falls) of side rails or other restraints.
  - Monitor patients frequently to guard against patient entrapment and/or falls.
• Shock Hazard - DANGER!:
  - When used as a powered system, do not remove control unit case cover.
  - Risk for electrical shock may occur if the control unit is disassembled. Refer to qualified service personnel.
• Fluids:
  - When used as a powered system, avoid spilling fluids on the control unit.
  - Fluids remaining on controls can cause corrosion, which may cause components to fail or operate erratically, possibly producing potential hazards for patient and staff.
  - If spills do occur, unplug the unit immediately and clean fluid from control unit wearing rubber gloves while it is unplugged to avoid any possibility of shock.
  - Once the fluid is removed, check the operation of components in the area of the spill.
• Patient Migration:
  - Specialty surfaces have different shear and support characteristics than conventional surfaces and may increase the risk of patient movement, sinking and/or migration into hazardous positions of entrapment and/or inadvertent bed exit.
  - Monitor patients frequently to guard against patient entrapment and/or falls.
• No Smoking in Bed:
  - Smoking in bed can be dangerous.
  - To avoid the risk of fire, smoking in bed should never be allowed.
• Disposal:
  - At the end of useful life, dispose of waste according to local requirements.

Care and Cleaning:

• Washing and Disinfection
• General Guidance:
  - Because of the variety of laundry equipment, chemicals, and conditions in use, you should pre-test cleaning of the cover with your agent of choice to ensure compatibility.
• Routine Care:
  - Surface wipe with neutral detergent and lukewarm water.
  - Rinse thoroughly with water and dry thoroughly.
• Machine Washing/Drying:
  - Wash at no higher than 120° F with a neutral detergent.
  - Tumble dry at low heat setting.
  - Do not use bleach and make sure cover is thoroughly dry before placing back on the mattress core.
• Disinfection:
  - Surface wipe the cover with quaternary solution or 1:10 bleach/water mixture according to recommended protocols.
  - Avoid over saturation and ensure the surface does not stay wet longer than the chemical manufacturers guidelines for proper disinfecting.
  - Wipe up excess disinfectant after the recommended kill time has elapsed.
  - Thoroughly rinse the surface of the mattress with clean water using a clean cloth.
  - Allow the surface to completely air dry prior to use.
  - Phenolics may be used for the vinyl bottom of the cover only
• Storage:
  - When not in use, mattress should be stored flat in a controlled climate room

Cleaning Control Unit and Tubes:

• Ensure control unit is unplugged.
• Wipe the surface of the control unit and tubes with coarse cloth using an approved disinfectant germicide mix and following the manufacturers instructions for use.
• Do not flood any part of the control unit with cleaning solution.
• Avoid spilling solutions on control unit controls.
• If spills do occur, clean fluid from control unit wearing rubber gloves or while the unit is unplugged to avoid any possibility of shock.
• Once the fluid is removed, check the operation of components in the area of the spill.
• Fluids remaining on controls can cause corrosion, which may cause components to fail or operate erratically, possibly producing potential hazards for patient and staff.
• Wipe off excess solution.
• Disinfect control unit and tubes with a chlorine solution (mixed accordingly). Using a clean cloth, wring out the excess solution until the cloth is damp. Wipe control unit surface and tubes with a damp cloth.
• Allow to air dry

Contraindications:

• Patient conditions for which the application of pressure redistributing therapy is contraindicated are as follows:
