ROTATION THERAPY
WARNING
• Always secure the support surface straps to the bed frame to prevent the support surface from sliding and to prevent
patient injury .
• Risk of injury . Use of XPRT therapeutic support surface for stroke victims should be only under physician's order .
• Rotation angle settings approximate the degrees of rotation achieved by a 165 pound patient with an 18 inch
shoulder width . The actual amount of rotation achieved is dependent on patient size, patient weight and shoulder
width . Monitor the patient for at least one complete cycle to verify the unit achieves the desired angle .
• Ensure that any and all tubing and wiring connected to the patient is long enough, stabilized, and secure to assure
safe and unrestricted lateral rotation/elevation of the patient . Be sure to monitor the patient frequently .
• To avoid possible injury, when using rotation or pulmonary therapy, take care not to extubate intubated patients .
• To ensure patient safety, always raise the bed siderails before beginning therapy .
• To avoid possible injury and to assure proper operation when using the XPRT™ therapeutic support surface on a
bed frame equipped with scales or bed exit follow manufacturer's instructions for use of these options .
• To avoid possible injury do not zero bed scales or weigh patient with Percussion, Vibration, Rotation or Turn
Assist active . Patient motion and position resulting from the support surface may adversely affect scale system
performance .
• To avoid possible injury do not initialize "Arm" bed exit with Percussion, Vibration, Rotation or Turn Assist active . The
patient motion and position resulting from the support surface may adversely affect bed exit system performance .
CAUTION
• To prevent pulling, removal or breakage, stabilize and secure all patient lines and tubing before starting rotation
and monitor them frequently .
• Patients with body weight or size near the recommended limits should be monitored more frequently to verify
desired results are being achieved .
• The bed's caster brakes should always be locked except during transport to prevent unintentional movement .

TO PREPARE FOR ROTATION THERAPY

PATIENT POSITIONING

1 . Position the patient along the center line of the
support surface .
WARNING
Failure to position the patient along the support surface
center line before starting therapy could result in patient
injury . Check patient frequently to ensure proper positioning
and support surface inflation .
2 . Align the patient's shoulders with the graphic
indicator on the side of the support surface .

BED POSITIONING

1 . Raise the bed siderails .
2 . Lower the bed height to the lowest practical position .
3 . Lower the head section to flat or as low as possible .
