sure it has been installed correctly in accordance with
Page 5 "Installation" and ensure that the CPR unit on the
mattress is clicked into the closed position.
1. Connect the pump to the mains power supply using
the supplied cable and switch on the pump.
2. Press the On/Off button on the side of the pump.
3. Allow approximately 30 minutes for the mattress
overlay to inflate fully.
4. Place a bed sheet over the mattress and tuck in
loosely. Ensure that the CPR unit is clearly visible
at the head end of the bed.
It is important to follow the correct support setting
procedure to ensure the patient receives adequate
support while achieving maximum pressure
redistribution and comfort.
1. Lie or sit the patient on the mattress.
2. Set pressure dial on pump according to patient
weight. This should serve as an approximate guide
only. An independent clinical determination needs
to confirm that the patient is properly supported.
3. Wait 10 minutes while the pump adjusts the
pressures.
4. Ensure that the patient is not 'bottoming out' by
unfastening the cover and sliding a outstretched
hand (palm up) underneath the deflated cells below
the part of the body where the pressure ulcer exists,
or the area at risk for a pressure ulcer.
