SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always consult the patient’s physician before using the SkinGuard® Mattress System.
To avoid damaging and before operating your SkinGuard® control unit, be
certain the AC power available at your location matches the power requirements
printed on the product identification label on the back of the unit.
To avoid electric shock, always plug the power cord of the control unit into a
properly grounded power source.
Do not insert items into any openings of the control unit. Doing so may cause
fire or electrical shock by shorting internal components.
Do not spill liquids or food on or into the control unit. In the event of any
spillage, immediately turn off the control unit and disconnect it from the power
source. Return the control unit for servicing to a factory authorized service center.
Care should be taken such that the controls on the footboard of the bed
frames are not obstructed by the SkinGuard® control unit.
Care should be taken such that the control unit is not blocked and kept away
from any heat source or radiators during the operation of the unit.
Care should be taken such that the power cord of the control unit is not
pinched, or has any objects placed on it. Make certain it is not located where it
can be stepped on or tripped over.
Do not attempt to service the control unit except as explained in this operating
instruction manual. Contact factory for servicing instructions. Always follow
operating and service instructions closely.
Do not place the patient directly on the mattress without the top sheet. The
breathable 4-way stretch top sheet is water repellent; highly vapor permeable, antimicrobial,
low friction and low shear, quilted and reusable.
WARNING
: Before opening the control unit enclosure, make sure the control
unit is turned off and unplugged from its power source. The control unit enclosure
should only be opened by a factory authorized qualified service technician.
Smoking by the patient or anyone else around or on the SkinGuard® Mattress System is
prohibited. SkinGuard® Mattress System uses room air for circulation through the mattress.
Smoking will contaminate the system.
