SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning:
•
ISOFLEX mattress covers (top and bottom) should be inspected for tears, punctures, excessive wear, and
misaligned zippers each time the covers are cleaned. If a mattress cover becomes compromised, the
mattress should be removed from service immediately to prevent cross contamination.
Caution:
•
When utilizing an X-Ray plate while the patient is on ISOFLEX, take precautions to insure that no sharp
edges from the X-Ray plate come in contact with the mattress cover. It is recommended that a pillow case,
or some other protective device, is placed on the plate prior to placement under the patient. If a mattress
cover becomes compromised, the mattress should be removed from service immediately to prevent cross
contamination.
•
When cleaning the underside of the mattress, insure that no liquid is allowed to seep in to the zipper area
and watershed cover barrier, fluids allowed to come in contact with the zipper may leak in to the mattress.
•
Check patient’s skin regularly. Consult physician if any redness or skin break occurs. Serious injury could
result if the patient’s skin condition is left untreated.
•
The patient’s skin should be checked and assessed every 8 hours, or once per shift, to insure proper
mattress performance.
