Safety Precautions

Review the following SAFETY PRECAUTIONS prior to using the Auto Sure-Float™ System.
•
Risk of electric shock. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
•
Explosion hazard. There is an explosion risk if used in the presence of flammable
anesthetics. An explosion risk also exists when used with certain oxygen delivery
equipment. The use of a nasal mask or ½ length oxygen tent should be used to
deliver oxygen in the presence of this equipment. A full length oxygen tent that
extends past the top surface of the mattress should NOT be used.
•
Disinfect the Auto Sure-Float™ system between patient installations. Failure to
disinfect may risk cross-contamination and infection.
•
Check patient at least every 8 hours or once per shift, to assure proper system
operation.
•
Disconnect the AC power from the wall outlet before attempting to clean the Control
Unit. Do not heat or steam autoclave any component of the system.
•
Some medical conditions may not respond to treatment of this type. Patient's skin
condition should be inspected regularly. Consult physician if any redness or skin
breakdown occurs.
•
For grounding reliability, plug only into a properly grounded outlet.
•
Make certain all mattress straps are secured to the bed frame to prevent mattress
from sliding and causing patient injury.
•
The mattresses are not intended to be AND DO NOT FUNCTION AS a patient fall
safety device. SIDE RAILS MUST BE USED WITH THE MATTRESS TO PREVENT
PATIENT FALLS, unless determined unnecessary based on the facility protocol or
the patient's medical needs as determined by the facility. IN SUCH CASES THE
USE OF OTHER SUITABLE PATIENT SAFETY MEASURES ARE
RECOMMENDED.
•
Use minimal layers of sheeting and incontinence pads. Too many layers between
the patient's skin and the support surface will reduce the effectiveness of the system.
•
Do not pull linens tightly over mattress. Tight sheets can cause "hammocking" and
reduce effectiveness of treatment.
•
Portable and RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment.
•
During mattress set-up, insure that all mattress air cells are inflated and that air cells
are secured to the mattress base with the Velcro
of the air cell. Air cells not properly secured or inflated may result in compromised
therapy.
•
Insure that the mattress properly fits the bed frame on which it is being placed.
Using the mattress on larger or smaller than the stated width of the bed frame may
result in the mattress sliding and patient injury.
