damaging/puncturing the cover, allowing fluid ingress to contaminate
the foam core, this poses a risk of infection to the user and any care
givers.
Place the mattress down onto the bed, ensuring that the printed side is
facing up. The audit box should be at the foot end of the bed.
Place a clean, light cotton or linen type bed sheet over the mattress.
Do not use heavy duvets or tightly “tucked in” blankets which may
force additional pressure on the toes leading to damage on the
bony prominences of the heels. The usage of additional waterproof
mattress covers, electric blankets, or other similar items, may reduce the
eectiveness of the pressure reducing properties of the mattress. These
may also lead to an additional increase of body temperature which may
result in skin maceration. Please seek clinical advice should you wish to
use any covering other than cotton or linen bed sheets.
Regular turning is recommended for 2-way turning mattresses such as
the Opera Ultimate Profiling Mattress, to prevent foam fatigue. Regular
turning ensures that weight is distributed evenly across both ends of the
mattress, prolonging its service life.
The cover may be removed for cleaning, please see chapter 3 for further
instructions on how to clean the cover. To remove the cover unzip it
and remove from the mattress. When replacing, ensure that the outer
cover is on the outside and not the inside. Non-compliance may result in
compromising the functions of the cover, this includes the antimicrobial,
waterproof, white substrate and chlorine resistance properties. Non-
compliance may result in serious infection and injury.
The label on this mattress has a unique serial number which should be
used in the event of a warranty claim. Never remove the label.
