WARNING:
It is highly recommended that the K-3 / K-4 series SYSTEM always be installed on medical bed frames that
are equipped with standard hospital side rails or assist rails. Please raise all 4 side rails on the bed and
lock them in position after the patient is on the mattress. Health care professionals assigned to each case
should make the final determination whether side or assist rails are warranted after assessing patient risks
of entrapment and falls in accordance with State patient restraint legislation or facility interpretation of
such legislation.
Check that all air hoses and power cord are clear of moving bed components before placing a patient on
the bed and that the mattress system is fully inflated. Operate all bed frame motorized functions through
their full range of motion to be certain that there is no pulling, interference or pinching.
Mattress MUST fit bed frame and side rails snugly to prevent patient entrapment. See {Figure 1, Page 15}
