• Do not use the support surface as a transfer device.
• Do not use the support surface handles to lift or move the support surface with a patient on board.
• 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 exceed the safe working load of the hospital bed frame when supporting both the patient and 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 the transfer bridge to fill
the gap. The transfer bridge is meant to ease transfer of a patient from one patient support platform to another.
• Always raise the opposite siderail when you place a patient on the support surface to reduce the risk of patient fall.
To transfer the patient from one patient support surface to another:
P P r r e e r r e e q q u u i i s s i i t t e e : : Follow hospital protocols required to transfer a patient from one surface to another.
1. Position one patient support platform alongside the other patient support platform while minimizing the gap between the
two platforms.
2. Apply the brakes for both patient support platforms.
3. Adjust the patient support platform heights so that they are level with one another.
4. Transfer the patient following all applicable safety rules and institution protocols for patient and operator safety.
