Warning
Caution
When specifying a mattress, bedframe and side rail combination a clinical assessment
of the patient’s needs must be carried out in line with local policy.
• Open all packaging with care.
• Once removed from the packaging check product for any signs of damage. If
damaged do not put into use and contact your provider or Sidhil Ltd. (see section
2).
• Remove all covers, sheets and the existing mattress from the bed.
• Position the mattress on top of the bed frame, top cover facing upwards and air
hose at the foot of the bed for control unit positioning.
• Attach to the bed frame by securing the adjustable straps to the moving sections
of the bed.
• For profiling beds, it is essential that straps are secured around the
movable sections of the bedframe – Damage will be incurred when
profiled if secured to fixed parts of frame.
• To avoid any risk of damage to the mattress ensure there are no
sharp objects which may come in contact with it.
