Contraindications

ALWAYS consult the patient’s physician before using the MA90Z and MA95Z systems.

Installation

The MA90Z and MA95Z systems MUST be installed on medical bed frames with side rails. The side rails MUST be in the raised position whenever a patient is on the bed.

Controls on the footboard may be obstructed by the power unit on a few bed frames. It may be necessary to relocate the power unit. Refer to Installing the Power Unit on page 11.

Check that air hoses and power cord are clear of moving bed components before placing a patient on the bed. Operate all bed frame motorized functions through their full range of motion to be certain that there is no pulling, interference or pinching.

DO NOT strap the mattress to the bed frame at the head and foot ends. Secure ALL mattress straps. Secure the straps to the bed deck at the head and foot ends and to the frame at the center of the bed. Otherwise damage to the mattress will occur when the head and foot ends are raised. Refer to Installing the Mattress Replacement System on page 10.

Entrapment May Occur

WARNING

Patient entrapment with bed side rails may cause injury or death. Mattress MUST fit bed frame and side rails snugly to prevent patient entrapment. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Proper patient assessment and monitoring, and proper maintenance and use of equipment is required to reduce the risk of entrapment. Variations in bed rail dimensions, and mattress thickness, size or density could increase the risk of entrapment. Visit the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov to learn about the risks of entrapment.
