The manufacturer deems the listed above foam mattresses to
be suitable for use with the Leo side rail, however a p
atient risk
assessment must be performed to ensure the gap between the

is acceptable and will not introduce a hazard to the patient
when entering/exiting the bed.
▪
If the dynamic mattresses are used without side rail height
extensions a patient risk assessment must be performed to
ensure the gap between the top of the mattress and top of the
side rail when raised is acceptable and will not introduce a
hazard to the patient.
▪
If the dynamic mattresses are set to a low pressure the gap
introduced by cell compression at the mattress edge and the
side rail is to be considered. A patient risk assessment must be
performed to ensure an asphyxiation risk is not introduced.
▪
Make sure that the applied mattress is characterized by the
correct size and type and that it is positioned in a right way on
the bed. The mattress should be placed between mattress

incorrect mattress may pose a risk of entrapment and/or fall of
the patient.

Make sure that side rails and mattress are correctly selected –
incorrect selection of products may pose a risk of entrapment.

mattress platform, serious damage could occur to various
components of the bed. If in doubt contact your local provider
or the manufacturer.
