WARNING (CONTINUED)
• Failure to properly clean or dispose of contaminated mattress or other cot components will increase the risk of
bloodborne pathogens and may cause injury to the patient or operator.
• Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure
before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. If an accident
occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or
gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical source.
• To avoid the risk of injury, do not use bare hands to check for hydraulic leaks.
