Pad system

The air mattress contains 2 sets of air cells which alternately are inflated and deflated every two and half minutes. To minimize movement, full inflation of on set of cells occurs before the large alternate set is deflated. Large cell interlocking support pattern permits high volume of air exchange and maximum vertical excursion between relief and support modes. The electronically welded heavy gauge premium vinyl resists tearing and accidental punctures.

Notes & Instructions for using:

Place the pump on a flat surface, or suspend the pump on the end of the bed with the attached hooks.
Place the pad on the top of the bed mattress with the hose connectors near the foot end.
Connect the air hoses to the pump and pad.
Check and ensure the air hoses are not kinked or tucked under mattress.
Plug in the power cord into outlet. Then switch on the pump. The green switch will light when the unit is operating.
Adjust pressure control. The pump provides maximum effectiveness when two fingers can slide between patient’s buttocks and a deflated pad chamber.
