Important Precautions
Important Notice: The equipment must be installed
and operated in the manner for which it was intended.
Facility sta󰀨/user is responsible for reading and

Joerns Healthcare if anything in this manual is unclear.
Joerns will not be held responsible for any injuries

and precautions in this manual.
Warning: Joerns
®
specialty support surfaces are
designed as mattress replacement systems. The
risk of entrapment may occur when the equipment is
placed on bed frames that leave gaps of even a few
inches between the mattress and the head panel, foot
panel, and bed or side rails. The equipment is NOT to
be used when such gaps are present.
Facility sta󰀨/user is responsible for ensuring that all
mattresses properly t the bed frames. Joerns is not
responsible for the placement of its equipment on bed
frames that leave gaps between the mattress and bed
head panel, foot panel, or side assists, which present
a risk of harm to patients.
Warning: An optimal bed system assessment should
be conducted on each patient by a qualied clinician
or medical provider to ensure maximum safety of
the patient. The assessment should be conducted
within the context of, and in compliance with, the
state and federal guidelines related to the use of
restraints and bed system entrapment guidance,
including the Clinical Guidance for the Assessment
and Implementation of Side Rails published by the
Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup of the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration. Further information can be
obtained at the following web address: http://www.fda.

When using the mattress system, always ensure that
the patient is positioned properly within the connes
of the bed. Do not let any extremities protrude over
the side or between the bed rails when the mattress is
being used.
Warning: Disconnect control unit hoses if surface
appears to be protruding outward. Remove patient
from surface and call a certied technician.
Danger Explosion Hazard: Do not use in the
presence of ammable anesthetics. Do not use in
the presence of smoking materials or open ame.
Air owing through the air mattress will support
