WARNINGS CONTINUED
FALL RISK: Properly trained and knowledgeable care givers should determine whether to
use pads, additional bolsters, alarms, high-low beds, or other positioning aids and safety
devices that are available on the market to reduce the risk of entrapment or falls. To reduce
the risk of falls:
Ensure patient is properly immersed (Refer to Setup in the SelectAir Operations Manual).
Fall risk increases if patient is not properly immersed, if the mattress is over-inflated, or
if the bed is in an upright position.
Check on patient at least once a day while using the SelectProtect.
ENTRAPMENT RISK:
DO NOT use the SelectProtect with bed side rails. This contra-indication supersedes
the references to bed side rails currently stated in the SelectAir Low Air Low Mattress
Systems Operations Manual.
