• The air hoses and the power cord should be placed at the foot of the bed so that they are not near
the moving parts of the bed or in other places where they can get caught. If there are flaps on the
sides of the mattress to protect the power cords, use them.
• The air tubing and power cord should be positioned so that they cannot cause the patient to get
tangled in the tubing, (e.g. when leaving the bed), do not pose a tripping hazard and pose no other
hazard.
• The power cord and air hoses should not be kinked or blocked
• Do not block the air holes and air tubeset, protect against contamination with small particles,
objects, hair, lint, fibers etc. Do not put anything into them.
• Headrest uplift detector (if applicable) should be connected to the pump by the caregiver/user, not
the patient.

the mattress on the patient,
• Avoid clothing that has folds, seams, pockets, items in pockets, etc. that can put pressure on body
and skin,
• The mattress top cover is vapor permeable, but not air permeable, so it may pose a risk of
