• Do not use the support surface as a transfer device.
• Do not stick needles into a support surface through the support surface cover. Holes may allow body fluids to enter the
inside (inner core) of the support surface and could cause cross-contamination, product damage, or product
malfunction.
• Do not exceed the safe working load of the support surface. Excess weight could cause unpredictable safety and
performance of this product.
• Always make sure that the patient support platforms and their respective transfer gaps are adequate to support the
patient. If the space between the two patient support platforms is greater than 3 in. (7.6 cm), use a transfer bridge to fill
the gap. A transfer bridge is meant to ease transfer of a patient from one patient support platform to another.

patient fall.
