GENERAL DIRECTIONS
BED LINENS: Seven-inch deep fitted sheets are recommended. Multiple layering of linens or
underpads beneath the patient should be avoided for the prevention and treatment of pressure
ulcers.
CAUTION: Be careful not to puncture the mattress with needles or sharp
instruments. This may result in loss of integrity of the cover or internal air
system. Regularly inspect the mattress cover for cuts, rips, cracks or tears.
Do not use the mattress if the cover is damaged.
BED RAILS: Due to concerns over the possibility of patient entrapment, Span-America
recognizes that the use of rails of any length is a matter currently addressed by federal and state
laws/guidelines, and by individual facility protocol. It is the responsibility of the facility to be in
compliance with these laws, which typically require that decisions on the use of bed rails of any
type are based on assessment of the physical and mental status of each patient individually. If
bedrails are needed by the patient to prevent fall-related injury, as determined by this facility
assessment, we recommend that the bedrails be locked in the up position at all times. We do not
require use of bedrails unless the patient is deemed to be safer with them than without them.
CPR: The Standards for Life Support recommended by the American Heart Association suggests
a hard level surface for performing CPR. This means moving the person to the floor if possible.
If that is not possible, do the following: For performing CPR:
1. Press “Auto Firm” Button
2. Place a crash board beneath the patient.
3. Follow CPR procedures.
STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION: Store the mattresses in a clean, dry place. Once the
mattress is removed from the box, store in a flat position if possible. Protect from damage.
Avoid temperature extremes (below freezing or above 120° F). Allow to acclimate to room
temperature before use. Do no stack more than 10 high. Do not stack other equipment on top of
the mattresses.
Store and transport controllers in a clean, dry place, protected from accidental damage or falls.
Avoid temperature extremes (below freezing or above 120°F); suggested storage and
transportation temperature 15~50°C, humidity 40%~80%. Do not stack other equipment on
top of the controller. For transportation, secure to prevent damage or falls. For shipment, use
box and packaging as provided by the manufacturer.
