Operating Instructions cont.
Once the baby is properly positioned and the air removed from the Vacuum Mattress, position the baby in the
BabyPod 2 using the Infant Positioning Straps.
Making sure that the straps have been passed through its corresponding slot on the Vacuum Mattress, take one
Infant Positioning Strap from the ‘rear end’ of the BabyPod 2 and the strap from the ‘front end’ on the opposite side
and cross them over the baby’s torso. Secure the straps together using the pre-stitched hook tab.
Repeat this procedure with the corresponding front and rear straps on the opposite side. The two Infant
Positioning Straps, when properly engaged, should form an “X” across the baby’s torso. Infant Positioning Straps
should be snug across the baby’s torso, but not apply undue pressure. Improper use of the Infant Positioning
Straps may cause injury to the patient during transport.

Section 6.5 - Operating Vacuum Mattress
Check to see that the Vacuum Mattress valve is at the baby’s feet. Valve should be open with the long and short
tubing sections engaged (black “O” ring hidden).
Check to see that the baby is in the desired position for transport.
Place vacuum source into short tubing section on Vacuum Mattress valve and slowly suction air from the mattress
while hand shaping the mattress around the baby. As air is removed, the Vacuum Mattress acts as a positioning
and retaining shell for the baby.
Once the Vacuum Mattress is in the desired position, remove the vacuum source and close the mattress valve by
depressing the grey tab and disengaging the long and short tubing sections. Once disengaged, the short tube’s
black “O” ring is visible.
Warning
Improper use of the Vacuum Mattress may cause injury to the patient during transport.
