Safety Precautions
General Safety Precautions
Read all instructions before using this
medical device
This system must be used on top of an
appropriate sized bed frame and the
appropriate operating environment as stated
in this User Guide.
Before commencing set up or installation,
ensure the power is switched off and
disconnect the power cord from the control
unit. Novis Healthcare recommends using
the cord retention loops on either side of the
mattress replacement where possible and
attaching it to an electrical outlet by the head
of the bed.
Minimise layers between patient and
mattress and secure bed sheets loosely so as
not to affect the alternating cell movement. As
part of a sensible pressure injury prevention
strategy, avoid wearing clothing that may
cause areas of localised damage due to
creases, seams, objects in pockets, etc.
Never use sharp objects or electrically heated
blankets on or under the system.
Product top cover may present a suffocation
risk. It is the responsibility of the caregiver to
ensure that the patient can use this product
safely.
Avoid blocking the air intakes of the control
unit, located at the rear of the unit. Do not place
items such as blankets over the control unit.
Bed frames used with the systems can vary
greatly depending on the specifi c healthcare
setting (ie hospitals, aged care, home care,
etc). It is the responsibility of the caregiver to
take the necessary precautions to ensure the
safety of the patient. This includes, but is not
limited to, the appropriate use of side rails to
prevent falls.
Only the control unit and mattress combination
as indicated by Novis Healthcare should be
used, otherwise the correct function of the
