An experienced clinician should determine whether the product is appropriate for the individual’s particular equipment needs. The product’s intended
use statement alone should not be relied upon to make that determination.
The medical products featured in this document are intended to be only one part of an overall care regimen that includes all therapeutic equipment
and interventions. An experienced clinician should identify this care regimen after evaluating the individual’s physical needs and overall medical
condition.
A clinician should also evaluate for visual, reading, and cognitive impairment to determine the need for caregiver assistance or the need for other
assistive technology, such as large-print instructions, to ensure proper product use.

Important Safety Information
Before using the product, read the warnings in this manual.
Warnings:
-The support surface products featured in this manual will function without side rails; however, side rails may be necessary for some
individuals. The decision whether to use side rails should be made by the individual’s clinician and/or healthcare provider. If side rails are
necessary for an individual, the following points should be considered by the individual in conjunction with his/her clinician or healthcare
provider to reduce the risk of falling or entrapment.
-If it has been determined that side rails are clinically indicated for an individual, knowledgeable and properly trained caregivers should
identify and minimize any risks of entrapment in side rails.
-If it has been determined that side rails are NOT clinically indicated for an individual, knowledgeable and properly trained caregivers
should identify and minimize any risks of falling out of bed.
-Whether side rails are used or not used, knowledgeable and properly trained caregivers should assess the need for devices or aids that
will reduce the risk of falling out of bed or entrapment in side rails.
-The overlay MUST be correctly sized to the bed mattress and to the individual.
-If the overlay is NOT correctly sized to the bed mattress and the individual, the product's benefits may be reduced or eliminated, increasing
risk to skin and other soft tissue.
-If a bed mattress is too wide, the straps provided to secure an overlay to the bed mattress may not fit as intended. If straps are not used as
instructed for PRODIGY and SOFFLEX 2 Overlays, the product may slip or slide, and the individual may be vulnerable to falling.
-Skin/soft tissue breakdown can occur due to a number of factors, which vary by individual. Check skin frequently, at least once a day.
Redness, bruising, or darker areas (when compared to normal skin) may indicate superficial or deep tissue injury and should be addressed.
If there is any discoloration to skin/soft tissue, STOP USE immediately. If the discoloration does not disappear within 30 minutes after disuse,
immediately consult a clinician.
