Mattresses and safety
sides
When choosing bed and mattress combinations, it is
important to consider the use of safety sides (where fitted)
based on clinical assessment of each individual patient and
in line with local policy.
When assessing the suitability of a mattress for use with
safety sides, the following factors should be considered:
If the bed is fitted with standard safety sides, a foam
mattress up to 150mm thick can be used.
If the bed is fitted with extra-height safety sides, a foam
mattress up to 172mm thick can be used.
Specialist powered air / foam replacement mattresses will
typically envelop the patient when loaded and can
generally be deeper than a foam mattress without
compromising safety. Other makes of specialist mattress
replacement must be assessed individually prior to use to
verify sufficient clearance is maintained.
Only use a mattress overlay when combined with Full
Length Standard Height Wooden Safety Sides (CM-
ACC00-1.52, CM-ACC00-3.52 or CM-ACC01-1.52) and
Safety Side Height Extensions CM-ACC02-1.52 or CM-
ACC02-3.52(see page 29). With this combination the bed
can be fitted with a mattress up to 150mm and an overlay
between 110mm and 115mm.
To ensure compliance with EN 60601-2-52, an approved
Arjo mattress should be used. Compliance with this
standard when using other mattresses must be validated
by the user.
For more information on suitable mattresses and mattress
replacements, contact your local Arjo office or approved
distributor. A list of Arjo offices can be found at the back of
this manual.
