Important Precautions
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH.
This product is intended for use as an
adjustable mattress platform that articulates for patient comfort, and adjusts in height for patient
and caregiver convenience. Use of this product in a way it was not designed for could result in an
unproven or unsafe configuration, potentially resulting in injury or death.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY.
Before adjusting bed, check that the area under and near
the perimeter of the bed is free of people and obstructions. Failure to do so could result in injury.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY.
Keep bed in lowest position except for providing care
(bathing, clothing changes, etc.). Bed should be at the lowest convenient height for entry or exit.
Failure to do so could result in injury.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH.
Floor locks increase bed stability and
resident safety. Make sure any floor/caster locks are engaged before attempting any resident
transfers. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH.
Residents may become entangled in the
pendant cord. Those residents with reduced mental acuity should not be allowed access to the
pendant. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH.
Bed weight capacity is 500 pounds evenly
distributed. This is the total weight of the resident, mattress, bedding and any other equipment or
persons likely to be on the bed. Do not exceed the 500 pound capacity, or use water mattresses
that allow water to flow to the end of the bed when the head or foot sections are articulated.
Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH.
Do not roll bed over abrupt thresholds
with resident in bed. Damage to the caster system may occur causing the bed to stop suddenly.
Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
WARNING: POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD.
Use nasal mask or ½ bed tent oxygen
administering equipment. Oxygen tent should not extend below mattress deck. Pendant should not
be placed in an oxygen enriched environment such as an oxygen tent. Failure to do so could result
in a fire hazard.
WARNING: POSSIBLE SHOCK HAZARD.
Unplug power cord from wall outlet before
performing any maintenance, cleaning, or service to the bed. Failure to do so could result in injury
or death.
WARNING: POSSIBLE SHOCK HAZARD.
Injury may result from improper routing of
the power cord. Always follow the proper factory-installed routing configuration. Failure to do so
could result in injury or death.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH.
Use a mattress that is properly sized to fit
the mattress deck and will remain centered on the mattress deck relative to State and Federal
guidelines. Sunrise Medical recommends the use of a mattress with minimum dimensions of 35” in
width, 6” in height, and length to match the mattress deck. Failure to do so could result in injury or
death.
