The audible and light indicators are active when the P290 is being transported (See
“Moving the Patient on the Bed in Transport Mode” page 31).
Low Pressure Indicator
When the pressure in the air bladders is too low, an audible indicator sounds and the
indicator light near the symbol comes on (refer to the service manual).
Malfunction Indicator
In the event of a malfunction of the device, an audible indicator sounds and the
indicator light near the symbol comes on (refer to the service manual).
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 facilitate the insertion and positioning of the cassette in
order 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.
