Product Information: Tamora Plus II Digital
The Tamora Plus II Digital is a medical air mattress system designed for patients who are at risk of developing pressure ulcers. It is equipped with various features to provide comfort and prevent pressure sores.
Comfort Control
The Soft and Firm buttons allow adjustment of pressures within a safe pre-set range, providing customized comfort to the patients.
.
When
pressing the Firm button, the output pressure will increase to provide a
higher pressure output and thus increased support.
- When pressing the Soft button, the output pressure will be decreased to provider a lower pressure output and thus increased comfort.
Auto-Detection of Pressure Settings
The Tamora Plus II Digital automatically detects the patients’ weight to set internal pressures appropriately. It has three modes available such as Alternating, Static, and Constant Low Pressure. The mattress will revert back to Alternating mode if the patient moves. If the Constant Low Pressure mode is required, pressing the Soft button illuminates the mode, and the time is displayed on the LCD screen.
CPR
In case of a cardiac arrest or Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), the CPR valve located at the head end on the left-hand side of the mattress can be activated. To activate CPR, gently pull and rotate the dial of the CPR valve to click into the OPEN position while disconnecting the air pipe connector from the pump. The mattress deflates in 10-15 seconds. To reset CPR, ensure that the dial of the CPR attachment is rotated until it clicks into the CLOSED position.
In the event of a patient suffering a cardiac arrest and CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) needing to be administered:
To activate the CPR:
- CPR valve is located at the head end on the left hand side of the mattress.
- Gently pull and rotate the dial of the CPR valve to ‘click’ into the OPEN position. At the same time, disconnect the air pipe connector from the Pump to speed up the air release. The mattress deflates in 10-15 seconds.
Transport Mode
The transport mode helps maintain the cells in their present state for up to 24 hours.
- Simply disconnect air pipe connector and place the connector cover over it. The air pressures in the mattress will now equalise, but maintain a degree of comfort.
- It is important to restore the mattress as quickly as possible by reconnecting the supply tubes to the power unit.
Alarms
The Tamora Plus II Digital has three types of alarms: Low Pressure, Power Failure, and Service alarms. The Alarm Mute button temporarily resets the audible alarms. The annual Service Indicator remains illuminated until serviced.

Failure/Service alarms. Should the situation not be resolved and the fault
condition continues the alarm will resume.
