CAUTION
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not permit the patient to push down on the Crescent Face Pad in an effort to lift themselves up while dis-
mounting the bed and/or the table.
The Proning Cushion should not be used when a patient is under general anesthesia.
To prevent the potential of cross-contamination, it is strongly advised to use barrier techniques when the
device is in use. A disposable or laundered patient gown, or disposable pad are satisfactory for use as a
barrier for the Torso Support and other components and accessories, except when the patient presents with
pathology that would indicate otherwise. A disposable face rest cover should be used to cover the Face
Rest Pad. Contact Oakworks for ordering information. Barrier techniques should be used in addition to disin-
fection procedures, not in lieu of them.
Be sure to support the weight of the patient’s head while making adjustments to the cervical positioning fea-
ture of the Platform Frame. Make sure all cam locks are secure before relinquishing support of the position-
ing assembly.
