This alternating pressure overlay and pump are intended to be used in conjunction with an appropriately sized bed frame and mattress, as part of an
overall pressure ulcer program of care.
This product is designed to be used as an overlay only with a mattress used as a base. Use without a foam mattress under the alternating pressure
overlay is prohibited.
Ensure that articles between the support surface and patient are minimized.
Bed sheets must be loosely fitted, with creases smoothed out. Care must always be taken to ensure that the support surface in contact with the user
is kept free from crumbs and other food debris, and that drip cables, stents, and other foreign objects do not become entrapped between the user
and the pressure reducing surface of the mattress, as this may result in the development of pressure ulcers.
The introduction of certain third party products between the mattress surface and the user may reduce or impede the clinical effectiveness of this
product.
'Third party products' may include, but are not limited to items including under blankets, plastic sheets and sheepskins, etc. Heated over blankets must
only be used in consultation with a suitably qualified healthcare professional, as an increase in temperature can increase the risk of developing pressure
