Warning/Caution/Note Definition
English

The words WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE carry special meanings and should be carefully reviewed.
WARNING
Alerts the reader about a situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. It may also describe
potential serious adverse reactions and safety hazards.
CAUTION
Alerts the reader of a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury to the
user or patient or damage to the product or other property. This includes special care necessary for the safe and
effective use of the device and the care necessary to avoid damage to a device that may occur as a result of use or
misuse.
Note: Provides special information to make maintenance easier or important instructions clearer.
Summary of safety precautions
Always read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on this page. Service only by qualified personnel.
WARNING
• Always check patient’s skin regularly. Consult a physician if erythema or skin breakdown occurs. Serious injury
could result if the patient’s skin condition is left untreated.
• Always use extra caution and supervision to help reduce the risk of a patient fall. Patient stability and siderail
coverage may be compromised with the use of an overlay.
• Always consider the use of siderails. The safe use of the support surface is maximized when used in conjunction
with siderails and there may be an increased risk of falls when siderails are not present. Serious injury or death can
result from the use (potential entrapment) or non-use (potential patient falls) of siderails or other restraints.
Consider local policies regarding the use of siderails. The physician operator, or responsible parties should
determine whether and how to use siderails based on each patient’s individual needs.
• Always use extra caution with a patient at risk of a fall (such as agitated or confused) to help reduce the likelihood
of a fall.
• Do not use the support surface on a larger or smaller frame width or length. This product is intended to match the
stretcher litter deck. This is to avoid the risk of the support surface sliding and patient injury.
• Always inspect for foreign objects between support surface and support platform. Foreign objects may cause the
support surface to slide on the support platform.
• Do not use the support surface when gaps are present. The risk of entrapment can develop when the support
surface is placed on frames that leave gaps of even a few inches between the support surface and the headboard,
footboard, and siderails.
• Do not stick needles into a support surface through the support surface cover. Holes may allow body fluids to enter
the inside (inner core) of the support surface and could cause cross-contamination, product damage, or product
malfunction.
• Do not use the support surface as a transfer device.
• Do not exceed the safe working load of the support surface. Excess weight could cause unpredictable safety and
performance of this product.
• Always make sure that the patient support platforms and their respective transfer gaps are adequate to support the
patient. If the space between the two patient support platforms is greater than 3 in. (7.6 cm), use a transfer bridge
to fill the gap. A transfer bridge is meant to ease transfer of a patient from one patient support platform to another.
• Always make sure that the opposite siderail is raised when placing a patient on the support surface to reduce the
risk of patient fall.
• Always monitor the patient condition at regular intervals for patient safety.

Warning/Caution/Note Definition
Summary of safety precautions (Continued)
WARNING (CONTINUED)
• Do not wash the internal components of this support surface. Discard the support surface if a contamination is
found inside.
• Do not immerse the support surface.
• Do not allow liquid to pool on the support surface.
• Always inspect support surface covers (top and bottom) for tears, punctures, excessive wear, and misaligned
zippers before each use. If compromised immediately remove the support surface from service.
• Always make sure that you wipe each product with clean water and thoroughly dry each product after any
application of chemical solutions. Some chemical solutions are corrosive in nature and may cause damage to the
product if you use them improperly. If you do not properly rinse and dry the product, a corrosive residue may be left
on the surface of the product that may cause premature degradation of critical components. Failure to follow these
instructions may void your warranty.
• Always apply the supplied Velcro to the 0747 stretcher to make sure that the mattress is secure. Non-use may
result in patient harm due to mattress movement.
CAUTION
• Improper usage of the product can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the product only as described in
this manual.
• Do not modify the product or any components of the product. Modifying the product can cause unpredictable
operation resulting in injury to patient or operator. Modifying the product also voids its warranty.
• Always be aware of devices or equipment that are placed on the top of the support surface. Damage to the surface
may occur due to the weight of the equipment, heat generated by the equipment, or sharp edges on the equipment.
• Do not put overlays or accessories inside the cover to avoid the risk of reducing pressure redistribution
performance.
• Always evaluate the appropriate CPR protocol to be used with this product before operating.
• Do not allow liquid to seep into the zipper area or watershed cover barrier when washing the underside of the
support surface. Fluids allowed to come in contact with the zipper may leak into the support surface.
• Do not iron, dry-clean, or tumble dry the support surface covers.
• Do not power wash the support surface as this may damage the product.
• Always completely dry the support surface covers before storing, adding linens, or placing a patient on the surface.
Drying the product helps to prevent the performance of the product from being impaired.
• Do not over expose the covers to higher concentration chemical solutions as these may degrade the covers.
• Do not use accelerated hydrogen peroxides or quaternaries that contain glycol ethers as they may damage the
cover and reduce the legibility of the graphics.
• Failure to follow manufacturing instructions may also affect useful life of the support surface cover.
