Attach and remove the mattress as explained below.
●
Do not use the stretcher when the mattress is not placed. The body part (fingers of hands or
legs) may get caught in the gap between the mattress bases, resulting in injury.
●
Be sure to use the suitable mattress specified by Paramount Bed. Using other mattresses may
create unintended gaps, cause interference between products, or lower the product safety,
which may result in injury or operational failure.
●
When attaching the mattress, make sure the Velcro tape on the mattress align with the Velcro
tape on the base.
●
The mattress is not to prevent bedsores. Using long time may cause bedsores.
●
Do not raise the back section base to an angle that exceeds 30
°
as far as possible. If an angle
of 30
°
is exceeded, pressure, friction, and shear forces will be applied to the patient's hips and
buttocks, which may cause pressure sores. If circumstances require that the back section base
be raised to an angle of greater than 30
°
, restrict the time of use at that angle, and monitor the
patient's conditions.
