Mattress installation
1.
Position mattress on bed frame with logo facing up and product information tags at foot end of bed.
Magnets are integrated on the AtmosAir™ T-Series* bottom cover to help keep the mattress
in place during foot section extension/retraction.
2.
Ensure mattress is properly positioned with no gaps between mattress and bed frame or side rails.
Always use a standard healthcare bed frame with safeguards or protocols that may beappropriate. Frame and
side rails must be properly sized relative to the mattress
to helpminimize any gaps that might entrap a patient’s head or body.
*T-Series is compatible for use with the Hill-Rom Total Care bed frame. Total Care is a trademark of Hill-Rom and/or its affiliates.
