equipment must be removed from the area below and around the head, thigh and foot sections of the bed or serious
personal injury and/or equipment damage could occur .
• Possible fire hazard exists when this unit is used with oxygen administering equipment other than nasal, mask type
or half bed-length tent type . Unplug the unit power cord from the wall when oxygen-administering equipment is used .
When using a half bed-length tent type, ensure that the siderails are outside the oxygen tent and that the tent does
not extend below the mattress support level .

patient's movements in the bed will be erroneous .
