Mattresses
WARNING
Always use a mattress of the correct size and type. Incompatible
mattresses can create hazards.
Entrapment hazards may exist when using a very soft mattress,
even if it is the correct size.
The maximum recommended mattress thickness for use with side
rails is 18cm.
Read the instructions for use supplied with the mattress.
Where the maximum patient weight specified for the mattress is
different to that specified for the bed, the lower value applies.
A label on the calf extension sheet indicates the correct
mattress size:
The numbers 1, 2 and 3 on the label indicate different mattress
platform lengths; refer to Bed length adjustment on page 24.
