Operation

_ NOTE: _Always read the operating instructions before use.

General

This product is designed to provide maximum comfort to patients. Make sure that you operate this product in a proper way optimizing its value. Here we provide some general information that you should be aware of.

For products

• DO NOT use another pump with different specifications unless instructed to do so by OSKA Care
• DO NOT change any component by yourself. If there is need for replacement or repair, always contact OSKA Care

For patients

When the pressure has been adjusted to a desired level of firmness, the patient can then lie on the mattress. A firm surface will make it easier for the patient to transfer or reposition. Make use of the static mode function for this feature. To sit a patient up in bed, press the Seat Button to increase the pressure to have better support on sacrum area.

Hand check

• Check if the pressure is properly adjusted by sliding one hand between the air mattress and bed frame to feel the patient’s buttock.
• Users should be able to feel the space in between, and the acceptable range is approximately 25 to 40 mm (1” to 1-1/2”).

_ NOTE: _Please follow instructions below for detailed operating procedure of each type.

• Step 1: Turn on the power. A beep sound will begin the operation.

• Step 2: The pump will enter into static mode when the power is initially turned on. First it will inflate the mattress to 25mmHg and then start weight calculation automatically. During calculation, the 8 LED indicators will flash until the calculation is finished, then mattress will enter alternate mode.

• Step 3: The alternating cycle time is set at 10 min.
  Select from the touch panel to adjust the cycle time.

  • NOTE: Press the static mode button from the touch panel to provide a firm surface that makes it easier for the patient to transfer or reposition. The static mode can support the patient by keeping the mattress from bottoming out when the patient is in a sitting position.

• Step 4: During normal operation, the unit will monitor pressure. If the mattress pressure is lower than the set pressure, the pump will automatically inflate the mattress to the set level and then stop. The alarm will beep and its LED will come on to alert a low pressure condition.

  • Press the Alarm Mute button to mute the alarm. The alarm LED will continue flashing.
  • Press the Alarm Mute button again to re-enable the audible alarm.

• Step :5 Press the Max Firm button to automatically inflate the mattress to the maximum level (55mmHg) for about 20 minutes. The pressure will return to a previously set level after 20 minutes.

In case there is a bad connection of tubing or any air leakage from the mattress, this will result in a low pressure condition, and it will activate the alarm\ within 15 mins.

NOTE: For suitable pressure, please refer for the hand check procedure.

CPR function

When there is an emergency requirement to perform CPR on the patient, press the CPR button at the head section of the mattress and disconnect the air hose from the pump to release the air quickly from the mattress.

Pressure set up

The pump unit can automatically set the pressure according to patient’s weight. Other functions will not work during weight calculation, except the Max Firm. Users can also adjust the pressure level of the air mattress to a desired firmness manually (press the button for 2 seconds).

_ NOTE: _It is recommended to press Max Firm on the panel when the mattress is first inflated. The auto weight calculation will start after Max Firm is finished.

Low pressure warning

When abnormal pressure occurs, the Low Pressure indicator will come on. For some types of pumps, the alarm will be activated to alert of a low pressure condition. Check if the connections are secure and correctly installed according to the relevant instructions.

NOTE: If the pressure is consistently low, open the zipper and confirm that all of the hoses are properly connected. Then check for any noticeable leakage in any of the tubes. If necessary, contact your local dealer to replace any damaged tubes or hoses.

Power failure

If the power is cut, only the power failure alarm works. The low pressure alarm can only work under power connected. The power failure alarm could last for 2 hours.

If the pump remains connected, the air will leak gradually and after 4 hours, the upper air chamber (dynamic) will be totally deflated. If the pump is disconnected and the transport cap is in place the air leaks gradually and after 8 hours, the upper air chamber (dynamic) will be totally deflated. The lower air chamber (static) could last for at least 24 hours under CPR valve being well installed (not be unplugged).

Cleaning

In this section, we describe the procedures to clean and decontaminate the pump. It is important to follow these procedures before using the system again. The cleaning task is required at least once a week to maintain personal hygiene.

Pump Unit

• DO NOT immerse or soak the pump in any water or fluids.
• Check for external damage and move the pump to the cleaning area.
• Place the pump on a work surface and spray or wipe the outside of the case with quaternary ammonium solution.
• DO NOT spray any cleaning solution directly on the surface of the pump.
• DO NOT use a Hypocarbonate or Phenolic based cleaning solution as this may cause damage to the case. Allow the solution to incubate for 10 minutes or accordingly as stated by the cleaning product instructions.
• Wipe case with a clean cloth. Make sure all areas are clean (top and bottom, both sides).
• Spray cloth with cleaning solution and clean faceplate. DO NOT allow excess cleaning solution on faceplate or control panel. (If solution gets inside, damage will occur.)
• Allow surface to thoroughly dry after cleaning.
• After the pump is thoroughly cleaned and dried, proceed to plug in the pump and test to see if it runs normally.
• Unplug the pump and store with proper identification tag.
• Avoid long exposure to sunlight.

Mattress

• Brush off or wipe down all surfaces of the cover sheet with soap and water before wetting with any liquid disinfectant.
• Any obvious blood spots should be wet thoroughly with 1:9 Hypochiorite solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) and allow drying for at least 10 minutes. Then blot with a clean, damp cloth.
• Unzip the top cover from the mattress.
• Brush or wipe down all surfaces with soap and water before applying any liquid.
• Covers are immersed and soaked in disinfectant for the required incubation time.
• After pre-soaking, the cover is rinsed through a regular cycle in a washer with no soap then laundered with mild detergent (wash temperature 93°F/34°C, rinse temperature 78°F/26°C or on the coldest setting).
• Covers are aerated until they are fully dry. (Drying temperature range 90-120°F/32-49°C or on the coldest setting.)
• The air cells are unsnapped from one side and are sprayed on all sides with a disinfectant. Let it sit for the required incubation time and wipe down with a clean cloth. (Make sure to disconnect all the air cells, one by one, and spray the disinfectant on all sides, including all the connecting tubes and hoses. Let it sit for least 10 minutes. )
• If there is a base after you remove all the air cells, the base has to be sprayed down with the disinfectant, inside and outside. Let it sit for the required incubation time and wipe down with a cloth.
• Repeat the process with the tubing set: spray, incubate, and then wipe clean.
• The carrying bag should be turned inside out and completely wiped down using the disinfectant solution. Allow it to thoroughly air dry. Once the inside is dry, turn it back: wipe down the outside of the bag with disinfectant.
• Dry the mattress on a flat surface area after cleaning, away from exposure to the sun.
• Avoid long exposure to sunlight.
