WARNING
•
Do not arm bed exit with Lateral Rotation or Turn Assist active. The patient motion and position that results from the
support surface may adversely affect bed exit system performance.
•
Always raise the bed siderails before starting Turn Assist, to avoid the risk of patient fall.
•
Do not use dynamic mattress systems for stroke victims without a physician’s order.
•
Do not turn a patient with unstable fractures, unstable spinal cord injuries, or those in skeletal traction.
•
Do not extubate or intubate patients during Lateral Rotation or Turn Assist. The rotation functions could cause
interference with the performance of the ancillary devices.
•
Do not leave the patient unattended during Turn Assist.
CAUTION
Always secure all patient lines and tubing together before starting Turn Assist to prevent pulling, removal, or breakage.
To prepare for Turn Assist:
1. Secure the patient lines, tubing, and power cords.
2. Center the patient on the support surface.
