OPERATION

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

For products:
DO NOT use another pump with different specifica tions or even from the SELECT series. It is dangerous to use a pump with pressure capacity greater than 120 mmHg. This may result in cell puncture.
DO NOT change any component by yourself. If there is need for replacement or repair, always contact your local dealer or service center.

For patients:
When the Normal Pressure indicator (green) comes on to indicate that the pressure has reached a desired level of firmness and the mattress is ready for use Please cover the mattress with a cotton sheet to avoid direct skin contact
and for the patient’s comfort.
A firm surface will make it easier for the patient to transfer or reposition. Make use of the S tatic mode function. The S tatic mode prevents th patient from bottoming out when in a sitting position. See the figure below.

Hand check:
Check if the pressure is properly adjusted by sliding one hand between the air mattress and the foam base (or bed frame if there is no foam base) 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 ””). This hand check procedure is issued by AHCPR.

NOTE: Always read the operating instructions before use.
Please follow the instructions below for the detailed operating procedure of each type.

S11&S12

NOTE
In L.A.T. (Static) mode, the mattress provides a firm surface that makes it easier for the patient to transfer or reposition. The L.A.T. (Static) mode prevents the patient from bottoming out when in a sitting position.
NOTE
The pump returns to ALTERNATING mode automatically 2 hours after it is set L.A.T. (Static) mode to ensure that the patient is always in the best comfort.
NOTE
When the pump is in L.A.T. (Static) mode, it is only possible to increase the pressure but not to decrease the pressure in the mattress.

ATTENTION: Always read the operating instructions before use.

Step 5
During normal operation, the pump will monitor pressure changes.
If the pressure is below a user-defined pressure level, the pump will automatically start to inflate the mattress. The pump will stop when the user- defined pressure level is reached.
If the pressure is consistently low, the audible alarm will sound and the Low- Pressure indication (7) will light up to attract attention to a low-pressure condition.
If there should be obvious leakage, for example, caused by a loose connection of tubes,
the audible/visible alarm will be activated.
Press the Mute (5) key to mute the alarm, and the Low-Pressure indication will flash instead of being consistently on.

Step 6
For nursing and caring convenience, press the Auto Firm (12) button to automatically inflate the mattress to the maximum level (above 50 mmHg) for about 30 minutes.
The pressure will return to a previous user defined level after 30 minutes.
In case there is a bad connection of tubing or any air leakage from the mattress, it will result in a low-pressure condition, and the audible/visual alarm will be activated.
CAUTION: Always read the operating instructions before use.

CPR function

When there is an emergency to perform CPR on the patient, pull the CPR strap immediately to release the air quickly from the mattress.
The CPR strap is located at the front right-hand side of the mattress.
