Placing the Overlay
Warning: Risk of falling: Any overlay section or system MUST NOT hang over the edges of the bed mattress.
1 Remove all bed linens from the bed mattress. A support pad or a fitted sheet may remain on the bed mattress. Make sure the bed mattress is in a flat
position.
STOP HERE if you are using the zipped Overlay Enclosure Cover. See the instructions provided with the Overlay Enclosure Cover; then, continue
with the instructions to inflate and adjust the overlay.
2 Place the overlay sections on the bed mattress, air cells facing up. Align the overlay
sections and snap them together.
- If you are using Insert Pads or Leveling Pads: Refer to the instructions provided with the
product.
- If you are using Bariatric Overlay sections: Align and attach the Bariatric Overlay
sections to the Standard Overlay sections, as prescribed.
3 Continue with the instructions provided in this manual for covering, inflating, and adjusting
the overlay.
Cover Guide
Before the individual transfers to the overlay, place any needed coverings. If you are using the Reusable Overlay Cover or the Overlay Enclosure Cover, refer
also to the instructions provided with the cover.
Warning: Placing too many linens between the individual and the product will reduce its the effectiveness.
If needed, the following items may be placed on top of the mattress overlay and the Reusable Overlay Cover or the Overlay Enclosure Cover:
One flat or contoured sheet, arranged loosely • One incontinent pad • One draw sheet, for moving and transferring
Inflating the Overlay
Warning: All sections of the product, including any Bariatric Overlay (side) sections, MUST be inflated and adjusted to ensure proper immersion and to
provide skin/soft tissue protection to the individual, including their areas of risk (for example, head, shoulder blades, tailbone, hip bones, heels).
1 Slide the hand pump nozzle over the inflation valve. Open the inflation valve. Inflate until
the section arches slightly or until all of the air cells feel firm.
Note: To open, turn the inflation valve at least one full rotation. The inflation valve will spin
freely when open.
Note: If an overlay section has more than one valve, only one of the valves should be open
during inflation.
2 Close the inflation valve until it comes to a stop. Remove the hand pump. Make sure the
inflation valve is closed.
3 Repeat for all sections, and then follow the instructions to adjust the overlay.
