Important Precautions
Important Notice:
The equipment must be
installed and operated in the manner for which
it was intended. Facility staff/user is responsible
for reading and understanding the product user
manual and contacting Joerns if anything in
this manual is unclear. Joerns will not be held
responsible for any injuries resulting from failure
to comply with the instructions and precautions in
this manual.
Warning:
Joerns Healthcare’s specialty support
surfaces are designed as mattress replacement
systems and overlays. The risk of entrapment
may occur when the equipment is placed on
bed frames or mattresses that leave gaps of
even a few inches between the mattress and the
headboard, footboard, and bed or side rails.
The equipment is NOT to be used when such
gaps are present.
Facility staff/user is responsible for ensuring
that all mattresses and overlays properly fit
the bed frames. Joerns is not responsible for
the placement of its equipment on bed frames
that leave gaps between the mattress and the
headboard, footboard or bed or side rails which
present a risk of harm to patients.
Warning:
An optimal bed system assessment
should be conducted on each patient by a qualified
clinician or medical provider to ensure maximum
safety of the patient. The assessment should be
conducted within the context of and in compliance
with the state and federal guidelines related to
the use of restraints and bed system entrapment
guidance, including the
Clinical Guidance for the
Assessment and Implementation of Side Rails
published by the Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup
of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Further
information can be obtained at the following web
address: http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/beds/.
When using the mattress system, always ensure
that the patient is positioned properly within the
confines of the bed. Do not let any extremities
protrude over the side or between the bed rails
when the mattress is being used.
