2. Usage

2.1 Intended use

Thank you for purchasing a Pressure Redistribution Mattress from Direct Healthcare Services. The Dyna-Form

Mattress is designed for the prevention of ulcers and is intended to be used in conjunction with an appropriately sized bed frame, as part

of an overall pressure ulcer prevention program of care.

WARNING Which mattress is suitable for your individual use should be decided by your clinician who will also determine the

most appropriate pressure ulcer prevention or treatment plan and the relevant nursing procedures.

WARNING: The following user manual should be used in conjunction with the product literature and will give you instructions

on how to get the best results when using one of our pressure reducing mattresses, however should you require any additional

information please contact our customer help services department on (+44) 0845 4599831.

2.2 Using your mattress

CAUTION Prior to using the mattress ensure that the bed has no rough edges that may damage the mattress. Place the mattress

on the bed with the Direct Healthcare Services logo face up and near the head end of the bed. Ensure the zip is closed and the zip flap

is completely covering the zip.

Place a light cotton or linen type bed sheet loosely over the mattress and ensure that any creases smoothed are out.

Do not use heavy duvets or tightly "tucked in" blankets which may force additional pressure on the toes leading to damage on

the bony prominences of the heels. The usage of additional water proof mattress covers, electric blankets, sheepskins or other similar

items which may reduce the effectiveness of the pressure reducing properties of the mattress or indeed lead to an additional increase

of body temperature which may cause skin maceration is not advisable. Please seek clinical advice should you wish to use any

covering other than the cotton or linen type bed sheet.

Take care when using mechanical items such as bridging boards, PAT slides or other patient transfer aids that damage does not occur

to the mattress cover due to sharp or damaged edges.

WARNING The maximum user weight of your mattress is available within the product literature.

WARNING The printed side of the mattress cover must always be facing upward. Ensure that the Heel Zone area (identified by

a pictorial picture of two feet on the mattress cover) is located at the bottom of the bed where the patients heals will be placed. Make

sure that the distance between the surface of the mattress and the top of the side rail should be at least 220 mm.

2.3 Patient repositioning

IMPORTANT Your Dyna-Form Pressure Redistributing Mattress will provide not only the best pressure re-distribution

properties but also give greater patient comfort and product longevity. However to prevent the build-up of pressure which

may lead to tissue damage and potential ulcer formation, it is important that the patient either repositions themselves, or is

repositioned on a regular basis. This should be based on the clinical judgement of a qualified healthcare professional that will

provide you with a suitable turning regime.

3. Cleaning & Care

The way in which the mattress is cleaned depends upon the nature of the contamination and the susceptibility of the patient.

3.1 Light soiling

IMPORTANT In the absence of gross contamination or unusual risk, the removal of dirt and spillages with clean, warm

water, neutral detergent and manual dexterity should be sufficient. However if required the cover can be wiped down with a 0.1%

Hypo Chlorite Solution(1,000ppm). Ensure that the cover is rinsed with clean water using a single use non- abrasive cloth, and

thoroughly dried. Ensure adequate ventilation.
