Installation and Set-Up

Setting up mattress

For the comfort and safety of the patient do not put them onto the mattress overlay until you are sure that the mattress overlay is properly secured, and the system indicates that it is fully inflated. The mattress overlay is designed to be placed on an existing base mattress which may be in use on a bed. Place the mattress overlay on top of the base mattress, ensuring that the air pipe connector is situated on the bottom left-hand side of the bed foot end (as viewed from the foot of the bed). Secure the mattress overlay to the base mattress by utilising the elastic security straps fitted to the base cover of the mattress overlay. These elastic straps should be secured around the base mattress.

Caution

• Do not use the Tamora II Digital mattress overlay directly on the bed frame.
• Ensure when fixing the mattress overlay to the bed the security straps are only fitted to the moving parts of the mattress platform. Straps secured to the fixed parts of the mattress platform will damage the bed/mattress when operated.

Setting up power unit

Whilst holding the power unit, unfold the hanging hooks on the rear of the power unit and hang it from the bed’s footboard. If required, the power unit can be placed on the floor at the foot of the bed.

Caution: Ensure that the power cable is routed in such a manner so that it cannot be twisted, trapped, crushed or stressed.

Cable management system

Cable management fixings are located on each side of the mattress overlay underneath the flap of the cover. The mains power cable should be secured through the cable management fixing as follows:

• Locate each cable management fixing.
• If necessary, open the press studs.
• Run the mains power cable along the side of the mattress overlay securing each fixing loop around the cable using the press studs.

Connecting mattress to the power unit

• Remove the cover of the air pipe connector and connect the air pipe connector to the power unit and then ensure that the air tubes are free from any kind of obstruction and are not kinked.
• Plug the power cable into a suitable electrical socket and switch ‘ON’ using mains power switch found at the side of the power unit. All indicators on control panel will light up. The Standby indicator on the control panel will light up.
• Push the Operate button and the system will start inflation and the Auto-Firm indicator will flash.
• Once the mattress overlay is fully inflated, you can then set the mattress to the appropriate setting suitable for the patient. Please refer to Table 1 for the most suitable settings.

Caution: The power unit must only be connected to the mattress overlay recommended by the manufacturer. Do not use it for any other purpose.

Note: Ensure that the CPR valve is set to closed.

Table 1: Weight and Suggested Comfort Level Reference Table

Control Panel Operation Guide

• The Control Panel of the power unit is used to make adjustments to the mattress overlay and also indicates fault conditions/service requirements.
• These are either visual (indicator lights) or audible.
• When the incorrect button is pressed, a buzzer will sound to indicated that the pump is responsive.

Operate / standby

• Press the Operate / Standby button to turn the power unit ON. Press again to turn OFF/Standby the power unit.

Note: The power switch on the side of the power unit must be turned ON.

Comfort level

• The Soft and Firm buttons allow carers to adjust pressures within a safe pre-set range to provide patients with enhanced comfort or support whilst maintaining a very good level of protection and therapy. Qualified clinical advice must always be taken before adjusting mattress pressures.
• The required pressure is selected using the Soft and Firm buttons to move the pressure by one step at a time.
• When pressing the Firm button, the output pressure will increase to provide a higher-pressure output and thus increased support.
• When pressing the soft button, the output pressure will be decreased to provider a lower pressure output and thus increased comfort.
• To check if the pressure is adequately supporting the patient, slide one hand between the mattress overlay and base mattress to feel under the patient’s bottom. You should be able to slide the hand in-between and an acceptable range is approximately 25 to 40 mm (1” to 1-1/2”) to ensure the patient Is not bottoming out.

Auto-detection

Simultaneously pressing the Soft and Firm buttons on the control panel will activate Auto-Detection. Once activated the indicator will flash and the system will start detecting and will set the internal pressure for the appropriately. The indicator light will flash until the patient’s weight and position has been detected then the light will extinguish. Auto-Detection sets the internal pressure for the patient so there is no requirement to input the patient’s weight, the internal pressure setting will vary slightly depending on BMI. For example, if you had two people weighting 65kg one tall and thin the other shorter and thicker set, the first patient may auto-detect to 50kg whilst the second to 75kg, this is due the difference in their BMI. The Auto- Detection will repeat every 2 hours to allow the system to adjust the pressure according to the patient’s position. To turn off the Auto-Detection simply press the Soft and Firm buttons again simultaneously.

Control panel lockout

If the control panel is not used for a period of 30 seconds it will lock out and inhibit the use of the functions. Additionally, if you wish to lock out the control panel press the Lock Out button, the button will flash, and all functions will be locked. This is to prevent the system being altered accidently. In order to unlock the control panel, simply press and hold the Lock Out button for 3 seconds, the control panel will now be active for use.

Function mode switch

Alternate

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

Static

Pressing the Function Mode Selection button until the Static indicator illuminates puts the system into Static mode Within this mode the mattress overlay will maintain selected constant pressure. After 30 minutes the system will automatically revert back to Alternating mode.

Auto-Firm

Auto-Firm mode can be selected by pressing the Auto-Firm button. In this mode all cells inflate to a single pressure setting to provide a firm and stable surface for nursing procedures or for patient ingress/egress. The system will automatically return to Alternating mode at the previously selected comfort level after 20 minutes.

Alternate cycle time selection

The alternating cycle times can be selected to provide an individualized care program for each patient. Within Alternating mode, the cycle time can be selected by pressing the Cycle button. Selections can be made from 10-30 minutes at 5-minute intervals. The cycle time will be displayed in the LCD screen.

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 notifying carer.

CPR Mode

CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) can be performed using the red CPR valve which is situated at the head end on the left-hand side of the mattress. For rapid deflation 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 power unit to speed up the air release. If re-inflating the mattress, ensure the dial of the CPR attachment is rotated until it ‘clicks’ into the CLOSED position.

Transport Mode

If the patient is being moved on the mattress overlay, or there is a power cut, general pressure can be maintained in the system for an adequate period of time whilst disconnected from the mains. Simply disconnect air pipe connector and place the connector cover over it. The air pressures in the mattress overlay will remain as they were but will maintain a degree of comfort. This will maintain the cells in their present state for approximately 48 hours. It is important to restore the Tamora II dynamic overlay mattress as quickly as possible by reconnecting the supply tubes to the power unit.

Alarms & Fault Findings

The Tamora II Digital is equipped with audible and visual alarm indicators. These alert the user to the status of the available mains supply and any mattress defect.

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. The Low-Pressure indicator will continuously illuminate until the low pressure fault condition is resolved. This condition could be caused, for example, by incorrect fitting of the air pipe connector, opening of the CPR valve or a leak in the mattress due to a cut or puncture.

Power failure alarm

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

Note: When the power unit has not been used for more than 3 days, it might require 30 minutes operating time (or more) for the Alarm to function correctly.

Service (alternating failure 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. Should the situation not be resolved, and the fault condition continues the alarm will resume. Please contact Ultimate Healthcare or your local service provider.

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 and the indicator light can only be extinguished by a professional service technician once the required service has been conducted.

•  For some services, only the uplink frequencies are included.
• The carrier shall be modulated using a 50 % duty cycle square wave signal.
• As an alternative to FM modulation, 50 % pulse modulation at 18 Hz may be used because while it does not represent actual modulation, it would be worst case.
