PATIENT TRANSFER
WARNING:
Warning—Use hospital safe handling protocols when transferring a patient from one surface to
another (such as the bed to a stretcher). Failure to do so could cause injury.
Progressa air surfaces—Use the Max-Inflate/P-Max Inflate surface mode to maximize the firmness of
the surface to assist in patient surface-to-surface transfers.
