WARNING
Risk of decubitus ulcer!
•
Regardless of the treatment duration, aged, paralyzed, comatose, and
cachectic patients are particularly at risk of decubitus ulcers. Critical
points should therefore also be constantly examined by medical personnel.
•
Do not fold, bend, or operate the applied parts in a folded condition.
•
Do not place the patient on the connection block of the applied part.
•
When the ASTOPAD COV applied parts are used as an under-blanket, en-
sure that they are placed flatly underneath the patient, are secured, and will
not crease.
•
Care must be taken during any surgical interventions to ensure that sufficient
measures are taken to prevent decubitus ulcers in accordance with the pa-
tient's positioning.
•
The risk of skin irritation caused by pooling of surgical prep solutions under
the patient may increase with warming; ensure that surgical prep solution in-
structions for use are followed.
•
Alleviate or remove the risk of heating skin under pressurized bony promi-
nences.
•
DO NOT place any hard objects (e.g., mattress cables, ECG cables, hard
cautery return pads, patient fluid lines, etc.) between the ASTOPAD applied
part and the patient.
•
ASTOPAD COV applied parts can be wrapped around the patient. However,
take care that the applied part will not form creases.
