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.
Use With Other Devices
All TheraKair Visio MRS components are designed to be used as single system. The TheraKair
Visio Therapy Unit should only be used with the TheraKair Visio MRS. Any attempt to connect
and use the therapy unit with any other brand or model of mattress or overlay may result improper
operation of equipment, possibly leading to increased risk of patient injury.
Protection Against Hazards
Fluids
If spills do occur:
•
Disconnect the unit from the main electricity supply
•
Ensure that there is no moisture in or near the power inlet, power switch and power
plug before reconnecting the power supply.
•
Check the operation of controls and other components in the area of the spill
•
Perform applicable checkout procedures
Fluids remaining on the electronic controls can cause corrosion that may cause the
electronic components to fail. Component failures may cause the unit to operate
erratically, possibly producing potential hazards to patient and staff.
Prolonged contact with therapy unit may result in hazard to patient or caregiver.
Power Cable
The system should never be operated with a worn or damaged power cable. Should the power
cable
be found to be worn or damaged, contact your local Arjo subsidiary or agent for a replacement.
