The CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) feature can be activated in case of an emergency. The system has an Annual Service Indicator and Alarms for Low Pressure, Power Failure, and Service.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Refer to the product User Manual for full instructions for use.
2. To adjust the pressure within a safe pre-set range, use the Soft and Firm buttons under Comfort Control.
3. The system will automatically lock out and inhibit the use of functions if not used for 20 minutes.
4. The Auto-Detection feature will start detecting the patient’s weight to set internal pressures appropriately.
5. The system has different modes available such as Alternating, Static, and Constant Low Pressure. To switch between modes, use the Mode button.
6. Activate the CPR feature by placing the CPR attachment at the head and left-hand side of the mattress and disconnecting the air pipe connector. To reset CPR, ensure the dial of the CPR attachment is rotated until it ‘clicks’ into the CLOSED position.

• The alternating cycle will continue at the selected cycle time until another mode is selected.

Static Mode

• Pressing the Mode button until the Static indicator illuminates puts the system into Static mode.
• After 30 minutes the system will automatically revert back to Alternating mode.
