Risks and Precautions
Mattress Replacement
The TheraKair Visio MRS is a mattress replacement system and should never be fitted before first removing
the existing mattress from the bed. Fitting the TheraKair Visio mattress on top of an existing mattress will
raise the patient above the side rails of the bed, placing them at risk of falling out of the bed or becoming
trapped between the mattress and the side rails.
Transfer
Standard precautions should be taken during patient transfer.
Side Rails and Restraints
WARNING: Use or non-use of restraints, including side rails, can be critical to patient safety. Serious or fatal
injury can result from the use (potential entrapment) or non-use (potential patient falls) of side rails or other
restraints. See related Safety Information.
