Installing the patient
Adjustable mattress clamp
The position of the clamps must be adjusted according to the width of the mattress in
order to center and secure the mattress.
To avoid creating entrapment zones, make sure that the mattress is centered and
secured on the sleep surface by the folding clamp at the foot of the bed, with the
adjustable clamps in the L or S position.
Other mattresses may be used, but the manufacturer must always be consulted to
make sure that the bed/mattress/siderail combination does not affect the bed's
performance, its suitability for use or its safety characteristics.
Users must check the compatibility of the patient's weight and the accessories
placed on the bed and the mattress system in view of the specifications of the
medical bed and the mattress system.
For beds made after June 1, 2018, it is imperative to use hard surfaces with clamps
marked (A) to prevent the hard surface from sliding and the adjustable head
section from becoming blocked when lowering.
