Positioning a patient on the support surface

EN
WARNING
• Always center the patient on the support surface. Align the patient's head toward the headboard before starting
functions. Check the patient frequently to make sure that you maintain the proper positioning.
• Always make sure that the tubing and wiring that is connected to the patient is long enough, stable, and secure
during Lateral Rotation or Turn Assist.
• Always raise all of the InTouch bed siderails before starting Turn Assist or Lateral Rotation functions.
• Do not exceed the safe working load of the Isolibrium support surface. Excess weight could cause unpredictable
safety and performance of this system.
• Always use extra caution when reading radiology images taken of a patient on a support surface because internal
components can cause artifacts and distort readings.
CAUTION
• Do not allow sharp objects to come into contact with the support surface that could puncture, tear, or cut the cover.
• Do not allow sharp edges from the X-ray plate to come in contact with the support surface cover. The
recommendation is you cover the X-ray plate with a pillow case or other device before placement under the patient.
If damaged, remove the support surface cover from service immediately to prevent cross contamination.
To position the patient:
1. Max Inflate the support surface.
2. Position the patient in the center of the support surface, align the patient's head toward the head board
