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.
