SAFETY SUMMARY

To ensure the safe installation of the Invacare 8000 Alternating Pressure

Mattress and Power Unit, these instructions MUST be followed:

WARNING

DO NOT install or use this equipment without first reading and

understanding this instruction sheet. If you are unable to understand the

Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a healthcare professional,

dealer or technical personnel before attempting to install this equipment -

otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
DO NOT use the mattress near an open flame or while smoking.
Inspect power cord, plug and air hoses of the Invacare 8000 Alternating

Pressure Mattress/Power Unit for breaks, tears, or kinks. If damage is

found, DO NOT use.
DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding

prong from any plug used with or for Invacare products. Devices are

equipped with three-prong (grounding) plugs for protection against

possible shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered,

it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a

qualified electrician and have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a

properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with the

National Electrical Code. If you must use an extension cord, use ONLY a

three-wire extension cord having the same or higher electrical rating as the

device being connected.
DO NOT place hot objects (for example: heating pads, electric blankets,

etc.) on top of the mattress. This may weaken the mattress material.
Use extreme care when handling sharp objects such as needles near the

mattress.
Do NOT inflate mattress of an OCCUPIED bed.
The Alternating Pressure Mattress has a weight limitation of 250 lbs. (114 kg.).
The Invacare 8000 APM MUST be installed on medical bed frames or medical-

grade home care beds with side rails. After placing the patient on the mattress,

verify the side rails provide adequate protection for the patient. The side rails

MUST be in the raised position, whenever a patient is on the bed.
