• 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.
• Always make sure that the opposite siderail is raised when placing a patient on the support surface to reduce the risk of
patient fall.
To transfer the patient from one patient support surface to another:
P Prre erre eq qu uiissiitte e:: Follow hospital protocols required to transfer a patient from one support surface to another.

2. Set the brakes to on for both patient support platforms.
3. Adjust the patient support platform heights so that they are level with one another.
4. Transfer the patient following all applicable safety rules and institution protocols for patient and operator safety.
