Function Mode Button

Pressing the Mode button allows you to cycle between the different modes available such as Alternating and Static.
It also allows you to select Alternating cycle times.

Control Panel Lock Out

To unlock panel

Press & hold for 3 seconds to unlock the control panel.

To lock panel:

To lock out the control panel press the Lock Out button and all functions will be locked.
If the control panel is not used for 30 seconds it will automatically lock out and inhibit the use of the functions.

Alternating Mode

Alternating mode is the default mode for the system. Within this mode, the mattress will inflate and deflate in an alternating 1-in-2 cell cycle.
The alternating cycle will continue at the selected cycle time until another mode is selected.

Alternating Cycle Time Selection

Choice of 10/15/20 minutes
To select press the Mode button until the relevant indicator light is illuminated next to the desired cycle time selection.

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.

Comfort Control

The comfort level adjustment dial allows adjustment of pressures within a safe pre-set range.

When the dial is turned towards the Firm, the output pressure will increase to provide a higher pressure output and thus increased support.
When the dial is turned towards Soft, the output pressure will be decreased to provide a lower pressure output and thus increased comfort.

Transport Mode

Transport mode will maintain the cells in their present state for up to 24 hours.

Simply disconnect air pipe connector and place the connector cover over it. The air pressures in the mattress will now equalise, but maintain a degree of comfort.
It is important to restore the mattress as quickly as possible by reconnecting the supply tubes to the power unit.

CPR

In the event of a patient suffering a cardiac arrest and CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) needing to be administered:

To activate the CPR:

The CPR valve is located at the head end on the left-hand side of the mattress.
Gently pull and rotate the dial of the CPR valve to ‘click’ into the OPEN position. At the same time, disconnect the air pipe connector from the Pump to speed up the air release. The mattress deflates in 10-15 seconds.

To reset CPR

Ensure the dial of the CPR attachment is rotated until it ‘clicks’ into the CLOSED position

Transport Mode
The transport mode will maintain the cells in their present state for up to 24 hours.

Simply disconnect air pipe connector and place the connector cover over it. The air pressures in the mattress will now equalise, but maintain a degree of comfort.
It is important to restore the mattress as quickly as possible by reconnecting the supply tubes to the power unit.

Alarms

Alarm Mute
The Alarm Mute button temporarily resets the audible Low Pressure/Power Failure/Service alarms. Should the situation not be resolved and the fault condition continues the alarm will resume.

Low Pressure Alarm

Upon detection of low pressure, an audible alarm will be heard and the Low Pressure indicator will illuminate.
The audible alarm may be cancelled by pressing the Alarm Mute button.

Power Failure Alarm

If mains power is removed from power unit or the power cable is unplugged without turning the power unit OFF, an audible alarm will sound and the Power Failure indicator will illuminate.
The audible alarm may be cancelled by pressing the Alarm Mute button.

Service Alarm

Should your system develop a fault condition whilst in use, an audible alarm will be heard and the Service indicator will illuminate.
The audible alarm may be cancelled by pressing the Alarm Mute button.

Annual Service Indicator

A dedicated Annual Service indicator on the control panel will illuminate and stay ON to alert nursing staff of the need for the system to be professionally serviced.
The Annual Service indicator will illuminate after 365 days of use.

Troubleshooting

No lights on the power unit

Check the power unit is connected to the mains power supply and that the mains switch is turned ON.
Check the power unit for any blown fuses.

The patient is bottoming out (without the alarm being triggered)

The pressure setting might be inadequate for the patient, adjust the comfort level to Firm and wait for a few minutes for a better comfort level.

The low-pressure indicator is flashing and sounding

Check to ensure that the CPR valve is in the closed position.
Check whether the power was suddenly shut down.
Check that the connection between the air tube and the power unit is tightly secured.
Check that all tubing connections along the mattress are secured.
If all of the above steps have been checked. Press the Alarm Mute button for the system to be verified again.

The power unit is operating but the mattress is not alternating

Ensure that the mattress inflation process is complete.
Check that the Alternate indicator on the control panel is illuminated. If not, press the Mode button to switch to Alternating mode.

Service indicator remains illuminated
