Preparation for Use
For information concerning the bed frame, refer to the manufacturers'
User Guide.
1.
Open shipping container(s).
Do not use sharp instruments to open boxes. Damage to mattress
could result.

Remove AtmosAir 9000A MRS from plastic protective cover.
The mattress cover may appear wrinkled when unpacked. To remove
wrinkles, allow mattress up to 24 hours to accommodate; see
Troubleshooting for more information. Wrinkles will not affect inflation
or function, so mattress may be used immediately if needed.
3.
Check mattress surface for tears or cracking; do not use if tears or cracks are
present.
4.
If re-installing mattress onto a new frame or for a new patient, check mattress
surface for staining and soiling; clean and / or disinfect as required (see Care and
Cleaning).
5.
Level bed and lock brakes.
6.
Remove existing mattress from bed frame.
Mattress Installation
1.
Position mattress on bed frame with logo facing up and product information tags at
foot end of bed.
2.
Ensure there are no gaps between mattress and bed frame or side rails.
Always use a standard healthcare bed frame with safeguards or
protocols that may be appropriate. Frame and side rails must be
properly sized relative to the mattress to help minimize any gaps that
might entrap a patient's head or body.
