DIRECTIONS FOR MATTRESS SET-UP
Flat deck frames
1. Confirm that the bed frame is appropriate for use with the mattress, and that the length
and width of the mattress are appropriate for the frame. If frame is Hill-Rom
CareAssist
®
model
1
, ensure that the Custom Care
®
Convertible is the appropriate model
(CJ80CA29 or CJ84CA29) for the frame. Place directly on a healthcare bedframe only,
never on top of another mattress.
WARNING: The fit of the mattress to the bed frame is important. Minimizing
spaces or gaps between the mattress and frame will help prevent patient
entrapment issues.
2. The mattress should be placed so that the green stretch fabric top surface is facing up
toward the user. The white screenprinting on the cover should be located at the foot end
of the bed. The screenprinting should read correctly when being viewed by a person
facing the frame from the foot end of the bed. The gray vinyl bottom of the cover should
face down onto the bed frame. The foot end is clearly marked on the mattress cover.
3. The surface is now ready for use in the non-powered mode (that is, without the
powered control unit attached) by users who are within the 500 lbs. (226.8 kg) weight
limit for the product.
4. The surface is designed to be used with appropriate linens in place. See page 13.
Connecting control unit:
5. Expose the four air lines that extend from the mattress by
unsnapping the flap nearest to the foot end of the mattress.
6. Then, tuck the flap behind the air lines
and snap shut, which will leave the air lines
on the outside of the flap and available for
connection to the control unit.
7. Bring the four air lines from the pump around to the four air lines
extending from the mattress. Ensure that the airlines are not kinked
or twisted.
CAUTION: Never thread airline through mechanical parts of the bed or bed rails
where normal bed movement may damage the airlines or the air control unit
itself. Check to be sure the motion of the bed does not interfere with the airlines.
8. Click each of the four male connectors into place in its corresponding,
color-coded female fitting.
