General Safety Precautions
Read all instructions before using this medical
device
This system must be used on top of an
appropriate sized bed frame and the
appropriate operating environment as stated in
this User Guide.
Before commencing set up or installation,
ensure the power is switched off and disconnect
the power cord from the control unit. Novis
Healthcare recommends using the cord
retention loops on the mattress base where
possible and attaching it to an electrical outlet
by the head of the bed.
Minimise layers between patient and mattress
and secure bed sheets loosely so as not to
affect the alternating cell movement. As part of
a sensible pressure injury prevention strategy,
avoid wearing clothing that may cause areas of
localised damage due to creases, seams, objects
in pockets, etc.
Never use sharp objects or electrically heated
blankets on or under the system.
Product top cover may present a suffocation
risk. It is the responsibility of the caregiver to
ensure that the patient can use this product
safely.
Avoid blocking the air intakes of the control unit,
located on the right side of mattress base (when
viewed from foot end).
Bed frames used with the systems can vary
greatly depending on the specific healthcare
setting (ie hospitals, aged care, home care, etc).
It is the responsibility of the caregiver to take
the necessary precautions to ensure the safety
of the patient. This includes, but is not limited to,
the appropriate use of side rails to prevent falls.
Only the control unit and mattress combination
as indicated by Novis Healthcare should be
used, otherwise the correct function of the
product cannot be guaranteed.
