The lighted LED indicates that the system is operating and the pressure sensor is monitoring the mattress’ internal pressure.

c. Alert LED

This alert notifies medical staff the mattress has insufficient pressure. Audible alarm will sound for 15 seconds at each cycle and the indicator will stay on until the problem has been solved.

d. Lockable Patient Weight Knob

Patient Weight Knob is used to adjust the internal pressure of the mattress according to patient weight. Simply turn the knob to adjust the pressure setting if the mattress is too soft or firm to suit each patient’s needs. Caregivers should  always perform a hand check by placing their hands underneath the patient’s pelvis area to check if there is sufficient air support to ensure that the patient is not bottoming out.

e. Rocker Switch

Power unit’s main power switch.

f. Couplers

Quick release female couplers are used to secure mattress air hoses to the power unit.

g. Power Receptacle

Mattress and Power Unit Installations

Remove Existing Mattress

Remove existing mattress from the bed frame.

Secure Mattress Replacement

Place mattress replacement on the bed frame with the foot symbol at foot end. Secure the mattress at each side using anchor straps. Ensure that the anchor straps do not interfere with any moving parts of the bed frame before proceeding to the next step.

Secure Power Unit

Secure the power unit on to the foot board using hanging hooks.

Connect Hose Couplers

Firmly connect the air hose couplers to the couplers on the power unit.

Check CPR Pull Cord

Unzip mattress cover and inspect CPR latch is fully inserted into the socket. It should arrive fully inserted when first purchased, but it is worthwhile checking, especially when re-installing the mattress.

Power Up Unit

Plug the power unit into an electrical outlet, and turn on the main power rocker switch on the control panel.

Set Patient Weight

Turn the lockable patient weight knob on the power unit’s control panel to maximum setting to shorten the initial inflation time if needed.

Wait for Inflation

Wait approximately 30 minutes for the mattress to inflate fully before allowing the patient to lie down on the mattress.

Program Settings

Adjusting Firmness

Place the patient in the centre of the mattress. Adjust the mattress’ internal pressure according to the patient weight by using the lockable patient weight knob on the control panel of the power unit. If the mattress is too soft or too firm, increase or decrease the mattress’ internal pressure one increment at a time and wait for the system to stabilise before making another change. Continue this process until comfort is achieved.

Perform Hand Check

Caregivers should always perform a hand check by placing their hands underneath the patient’s pelvis area to check if there is sufficient air support to ensure the patient is not bottoming out.

Tucking the bed sheet in too tightly may reduce the effectiveness of the system.

Patient Transfer and Transport

Transfer

It is recommended to have the mattress system fully inflated during the transfer process. Make sure the bed is secured before proceeding.

Transport

In the event of a patient transport, two options are available.

1. Detach the mattress’ air hose couplers from the power unit’s quick release couplers and connect the two air hose couplers together to retain air in the mattress. The mattress will stay inflated for approximately 2 hours, depending on the patient’s weight.
2. Unplug the power unit’s power cord from the wall outlet and the mattress should stay inflated for approximately 40 – 50 minutes. This mattress system also has a safety foam base underneath the air cells to support the patient for a short period of time in case of deflation. To resume normal operation, please follow the instructions beginning in Section 6.2.

Emergency CPR Deflation

In the case of emergency, pull hard to remove the mattress’ CPR latch and detach the quick release coupling from the control unit for emergency deflation and turn off the power unit by pressing the power/mute button on the control panel at the same time for emergency deflation. The air will discharge from the mattress with the patient’s own weight. To resume normal operation, simply re-insert the CPR latch securely, press the power/mute button again and reset the patient weight. See instructions in Section 6.

Cleaning Instruction

The air mattress and power unit must be cleaned thoroughly between patients to avoid cross contamination. The following is a suggested guideline. Be sure to follow local infection control policies.

Regular cleaning can be performed at bedside with a disinfectant followed by drying with a clean dry cloth. Use only mild detergents to clean the coverlet and the mattress. Any appropriate non-phenolic cleaning agent may be used for heavy soiling from urine, blood or other bodily fluids. Please ensure that the air mattress and coverlet are completely dry before letting the patient lie on the surface again.

Machine wash warm water at maximum 71 °C.

Do not use electric or tumble dryers. Do not iron.

Always unplug the power unit before cleaning. Routine cleaning of power unit can be done by wiping down with damp cloth using disinfectant or mild detergent. Never spray liquids directly on the unit itself.

Routine Maintenance and Storage

Remove air filter from the rear panel of the power unit by opening up the filter cap. Inspect the filter for dirt or dust, and clean it with mild soap and water. Reinsert the dried air filter after cleaning and ensure that the cap is secure. If a replacement is needed, contact Opera on 0333 222 8584.

Only disinfect and dry systems should be stored. Disconnect the air hoses from the power unit. Roll up the mattress starting from the head end and working down toward the foot end. Use the straps to secure it and store in clean plastic or other storage bag. Store in a cool, dark place.
