Product Description

A Bariatric bed providing a flexible environment for patient care, paired with a pressure relief mattress system for comfort, support, treatment and prevention.

INDICATIONS:
Large patients weighing up to 850 lbs.
Large patients at risk for pressure ulcers
Any large patient using a static mattress that would benefit from a pressure reduction surface
Patients whose body weight and size pose a significant risk or care management issue to the patient or staff during the performance of routine nursing care
Patients whose condition requires med/surg bed frame features

CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Unstable cervical, thoracic and/or lumbar fracture
Cervical and skeletal traction
Total weight in excess of 850 lbs. (including accessories)

PRECAUTIONS:
Side Rails and Restraints - Use or non-use of restraints, including side rails, can be critical to patient safety. WARNING: Serious injury or death can result from the use (potential entrapment) or non-use (potential patient falls) of side rails or other restraints.
Patient Migration - As with all specialty bed products that are designed to reduce shear and pressure on the patient’s skin, the risk of gradual movement and/or sinking into hazardous positions of entrapment and/or inadvertent bed exit may be increased.
Monitor skin conditions regularly
Care should be taken during patient transfer by engaging Instaflate mode
Maximum patient weight is 1,000 lbs. in all widths in the static and turn assist mode
Skeletal Traction - With skeletal traction, use care to guard against risks of patient migration or inadvertent deflation of air surface.
