Safety Warnings
• It is the responsibility of the care giver to ensure that the user can use this product
safely.
• Whilst the patient is unattended, safety sides should be used based on clinical
assessment and in line with local policy.
• Alignment of the bed frame, safety sides and the mattress should leave no gap
wide enough to entrap a patient's head or body, or to allow egress to occur in a
hazardous manner where entanglement with the mains power cable and tubeset or
air hoses may result. Care should be exercised to prevent occurrence of gaps by
compression or movement of the mattress. Death or serious injury may occur.
• Make sure that the mains power cable and tubeset or air hoses are positioned to
avoid causing a trip or other hazard, and are clear of moving bed mechanisms or
other possible entrapment areas. Where cable management flaps are provided
along the sides of the mattress, these should be used to cover the mains power
cable.
• Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside the pump. The pump's case must only be removed by authorised
technical personnel. No modification of this equipment is allowed.
• The mains power socket/plug must be accessible at all times. To disconnect the
pump completely from the electricity supply, remove the plug from the mains
power socket.
• The CPR control and/or the CPR indicator tag must be visible and accessible at all
times.
• Disconnect the pump from the mains power socket before cleaning and inspecting.
• Keep the pump away from sources of liquids and do not immerse in water.
• Do not use the pump in the presence of uncontained flammable liquids or gasses.
• The cover of this product is vapour permeable but not air permeable and may
present a suffocation risk.
• Only the pump and mattress combination as indicated by ArjoHuntleigh should be
used. The correct function of the product cannot be guaranteed if incorrect pump
and mattress combinations are used.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a
supply mains with protective earth.
