Mattress
The Valet bed has been designed to minimize the risk of patient entrapment while maintaining as
much patient comfort and protection as possible. The siderails work together with the mattress
to minimize the gaps that the patient may be exposed to during normal use. All of the mattresses
supplied by M.C. Healthcare Products work together with the siderails to meet the FDA regulations
and guidelines at the time of purchase. If other mattresses are used, it is up to the end user to
determine whether their mattress is suitable for minimizing entrapment risks.
Contact your local M.C. Healthcare Products Representative for mattress sizing recommendations.
Bed Extender
The bed extender is designed to be attached at the head
end of the bed. The extender attaches directly to the head
deck. If a headboard is to be used with the extender, then
a set of headboard extender brackets are required to offset
the headboard, and allow clearance for the extender. The
mattress pad extends the actual sleep surface, and attaches
to the extender with Velcro to hold it in position.

WARNING! POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH
Use only the proper size
mattress and extension in order to minimize the Entrapment Zone gaps. The gaps must
be small enough to prevent the patient from getting his/her neck caught in this location
(read Entrapment Guidelines for further information).
