SAFETY SUMMARY

To ensure the safe installation of the Invacare 8000 Alternating Pressure Mattress and Power Unit, these instructions MUST be followed:

WARNING

DO NOT install or use this equipment without first reading and understanding this instruction sheet. If you are unable to understand the Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or technical personnel before attempting to install this equipment otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

DO NOT use the mattress near an open flame or while smoking. Inspect power cord, plug and air hoses of the Invacare 8000 Alternating

Pressure Mattress/Power Unit for breaks, tears, or kinks. If damage is found, DO NOT use.

DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any plug used with or for Invacare products. Devices are equipped with three-prong (grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician and have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code. If you must use an extension cord, use ONLY a three-wire extension cord having the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected.

DO NOT place hot objects (for example: heating pads, electric blankets, etc.) on top of the mattress. This may weaken the mattress material.

Use extreme care when handling sharp objects such as needles near the mattress.

Do NOT inflate mattress of an OCCUPIED bed. The Alternating Pressure Mattress has a weight limitation of 250 lbs. (114 kg.). The Invacare 8000 APM MUST be installed on medical bed frames or medical-

grade home care beds with side rails. After placing the patient on the mattress, verify the side rails provide adequate protection for the patient. The side rails MUST be in the raised position, whenever a patient is on the bed.
