Accella™ Therapy Mattress Instructions for Use
X-ray cassette pouch
The head end of the mattress is equipped with a pouch for X-ray cassettes (min.
height 85 cm, min. width 84 cm) to take chest X-rays.
The type of materials, the density and the thickness of the mattress, and the
weight and morphology of the patient can affect the quality of the X-ray images.
The best way to produce X-rays of an optimal quality is to get as close to the
patient as possible. The radiologist is responsible for deciding on the best
solution to take the X-ray according to the medical target and the hospital’s
protocol adapted to the patient’s illness.
The X-ray cassette can be installed on the left or the right of the head section,
once the corresponding siderail has been lowered.
To avoid any risk of infection, the zip fastener of the cover must be closed
after each use. If necessary, the X-ray cassette pouch can be cleaned and
dried using the standard disinfection methods.
