The customer reported a patent fall from the first step cirrus mattress.The fall was not witnessed.It was speculated by the customer that the resident might sit up to adjust pump hoses and fell.Additional information was that the resident might have broken fibula bone and that the surgery was likely.The first step cirrus mattress overlay was placed onto the standard non-arjo mattress, creating the overall high of the surface at approximately 12'' (5¿ overlay + 7¿ mattress).This put the resident above the height of the bed side rails.It is unknown what type of bed is used, only that it was non-arjo ¿standard hospital bed¿.The customer correction included switching from their current mattress to the smaller mattress pad, which will be used with the first step cirrus.
