• Consideration is to be taken in the positioning of the mains cable and
air hose to minimise the risk of accidental strangulation resulting from
patient, baby or child entanglement – Sidhil recommend the use of the
mains cable routing sheath that is incorporated down the length of the
mattress.
• Keep away from sources of heat and naked flames (e.g. cigarettes,
fireplaces, electric fires, fan heaters, electric blankets etc.) – Close
proximity could damage the electrical system and / or mattress cover,
bedding could catch fire etc.
• Do not place any objects or items, such as blankets, on or over the control
unit - Risk of fire.
• Avoid placing the mattress system in direct sunlight – Direct sunlight could
damage the electrical system and / or mattress covers.
• Avoid placing the mattress system in a moisture rich environment -
Prolonged exposure to moisture could damage the electrical system and
pose an electrical/fire risk.
