5.1 Safety information

WARNING!
It is very important for the patient to reposition
themselves, or to be repositioned, on a regular
basis. This must be based on the clinical
judgement of a qualified health care professional.
This relieves pressure which helps prevent both
tissue compression and potential ulcer formation.
– Always consult a qualified health care
professional before using the product.
– Monitor the patient frequently.
CAUTION!
– Make sure that the printed side of the mattress
cover always faces upwards.
– Make sure that the distance between the
surface of the mattress and the top of the side
rail is at least 220 mm.

IMPORTANT!
If holes are present in the mattress cover,
there is a danger that liquids may ingress and
contamination may occur.
– Medical equipment including infusion pumps
and monitors should be attached to appropriate
bed accessories.
– For home use common causes of damage
include cigarette burns and the claws of pets
that puncture sheets, allowing fluid ingress and
staining.
IMPORTANT!
Risk of damage to the mattress cover
– To prevent accidental damage, do not place
hypodermic needles, venflons, scalpels or other
similarly sharp objects onto the mattress.
– Ensure that all venflons are taped down
correctly with no sharp edges exposed.
– When using patient transfer aids, care should
be taken not to damage the mattress. All
transfer aids should be checked for any sharp
edges or burrs before use as these can damage
the mattress.
– Make sure that the mattresses are not jammed
or damaged by sharp edges when used on
beds with an adjustable frame.
– When using the mattress on a profiling bed
ensure that the knee break is used before the
backrest.
