SYMBOL IDENTIFICATION / IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not permit the patient to push down on the Crescent Face Pad in an effort to lift themselves up while dismounting the bed and/or
the table.
The Proning Cushion should not be used when a patient is under general anesthesia.
To prevent the potential of cross-contamination, it is strongly advised to use barrier techniques when the device is in use. A dispos-
able or laundered patient gown, or disposable pad are satisfactory for use as a barrier for the Torso Support and other components
and accessories, except when the patient presents with pathology that would indicate otherwise. A disposable face rest cover should
be used to cover the Face Rest Pad. Contact Oakworks for ordering information. Barrier techniques should be used in addition to
disinfection procedures, not in lieu of them.
Be sure to support the weight of the patient’s head while making adjustments to the cervical positioning feature of the Platform
Frame. Make sure all cam locks are secure before relinquishing support of the positioning assembly.
Proning Cushion weight limit: 350 lbs. (158 kg) Crescent Face Pad Support weight limit: 41 lbs. (18 kg)
