Safety Precautions
Protection Against Hazards
Fluids
Avoid spilling fluids on any part of the control unit. If
spills do occur:
⬡
Turn off control unit power and disconnect the
unit from the mains electricity supply.
⬡
Immediately clean fluids from the casing by
wiping with a soft cloth.
Trapped moisture in foam may lead to an
infection control hazard. Avoid exposing the
foam sections to water or liquid.
Foam is not washable.
Ensure there is no moisture in or near the power
inlet, power switch and power cord before
reconnecting the power supply.
Check the operation of controls and other
components around the spill area.
Fluid or liquid remaining on the electronic
controls can cause corrosion that may cause
the electronic components to fail. Component
failures may cause the unit to operate erratically,
possibly producing potential hazards to patient
and carers.
Explosion hazard
Equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of
a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or
nitrous oxide.
⬡
Do not use in the presence of smoking materials
or open flame – air flowing through the mattress
will support combustion.
⬡
Do not open the control unit – risk of electrical
shock. Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.
Disposal
Dispose of all components (control unit including
batteries, air filter, air cells, mattress cover and base)
according to local procedures and regulations or
contact Novis Healthcare for advice.
Power Cord
The system should never be operated with a worn
or damaged power cord. Keep the cord away from
heated surfaces. Should the power cord be found to
be worn or damaged, contact Novis Healthcare for a
replacement.

intent of directive IEC 60601-1-2
