1.
Place control unit on flat surface or suspend control unit on end of bed using attached hooks. See Figure 2 and
Figure 3. Remove the plug to disconnect the device.
2. Position the mattress on bed frame.
3. Connect the hose assembly between the mattress air cell and the control unit. Unscrew the cap from the air
valve of the mattress and screw the adaptor from control unit onto the air valve tightly.
4. Plug the power cord and adjust the pressure control knob to highest setting for quick inflation and turn control
unit on using green on/off switch. The unit will take approximately 40 minutes to inflate the mattress.
5. After installation, make sure the flap is not folding upwards to avoid fluid seeping through mattress cover.
NOTE
Make sure the control unit is suitable for the local power voltage and frequency.
6. Position patient on the mattress and adjust the pressure control knob for patient comfort.
7.
A Hand Check must be performed every 8 hours to verify proper operation of the device. See Figure 6.
8. To perform the Hand Check:
With the patient on his or her back, slide hand, flat and palm up, between the overlay and the mattress. Hand
should be directly under the air cell that is under the patient's buttocks (or other bony area). See Figure 6.
Wait for full inflation of the air cell directly above hand. If the patient's body is not in direct contact with hand, the system
is operating correctly. If, during full inflation of air cell, the patient's body is in direct contact with flat hand, the system
is not operating properly. Adjust the pressure control to a higher setting. Wait 10 minutes and repeat the Hand Check.
If the Hand Check fails, check that the hoses are not kinked or pinched. If repeated Hand Check fails and hoses are
not kinked, contact Stryker for further instruction.
WARNING
Deflate before CPR or CPR could be ineffective.
To deflate mattress for CPR:
Disconnect the hoses from the control unit. See Figure 7. The air cell will deflate in approximately 20 seconds.
Proceed with CPR procedures.
