6.5 Set Patient Weight

6.6 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

7.1 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.

7.2 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

8.1 Transfer

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

8.2 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 6.1.

Emergency CPR Deflation

In the case of emergency, pull on the air hose couplers from the control unit 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 air hose couplers, press the power/ mute button again and reset the patient weight. See instructions in Section 6.1.

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.
