Safety Precautions

Proper Operation

To ensure proper operation, please inspect and verify that all parts are set up properly and are anchored securely to the bed system. Verify that the mattress replacement system does not interfere with the bed frame function. Do not place anything on top of the power unit. Make sure power cord set is underneath the bed frame and does not pose a hazard.

Use of Linens

It is recommended to limit bed linens to a single layer in order to allow moisture to escape efficiently through the coverlet. Breathable incontinent pads are recommended for use with this mattress system.

Flammability Hazard

Avoid using this device near open flames, lighters, or cigarettes. Flammability hazard exists. This device draws air from the surrounding environment. Thus, cigarette smoking may damage internal components.

Disinfection Between Patients

This system should be disinfected thoroughly between patients in order to avoid cross contamination.

Weight Capacity

Verify that the patient’s weight, accessories, and this mattress replacement system, do not exceed the bed frame’s manufacturer’s recommended weight capacity.

Warnings

Side Rails

Use this mattress with side rails that meet bed rail regulations (BS EN 60601-2-52:2010) to ensure that the gap between the side rail and the top of the mattress is not large enough to pose risk of head or neck entrapment. Failure to do so could result in serious patient injury or death. If applicable, adhere to facility or local guidelines regarding entrapment regulations.

Power Unit Features

• Power/Mute
  Press button to turn on the power unit and the green LED will light. The LED will change to orange if abnormal power outage occurs and an audible alarm will sound to notify medical staff. You may press the button to mute the alarm or it will sound until power is restored or a rechargeable battery is discharged. The memory re-call function recalls the previous setting when the pump is turned off/on or after a power-outage.

• Pressure Monitoring LED
  Power unit features an integrated pressure sensor which can monitor the mattress’ internal pressure to achieve optimal internal pressure and to ensure maximum pressure relief. This LED indicates the system is monitoring the mattress’ internal pressure while the compressor is inflating.

• Alert LED
  This alert notifies medical staff the mattress has insufficient pressure. The audible alarm will sound for 15 seconds at each cycle and the indicator will stay on until the problem has been solved.

• Comfort Adjustment
  Simply press the button to adjust the patient’s comfort from -2 to 2. Please adjust the comfort setting if the mattress is too soft or firm to suit each patient. Caregivers should always perform a hand check by placing their hands underneath patient’s pelvis area to check if there is sufficient air support to ensure the patient is not bottoming out.

• Rocker Switch
  Power unit’s main power switch.

• Couplers
  Quick release female couplers are used to secure mattress air hoses to the power unit.

• Power Receptacle
  Insert power cord set firmly into receptacle.

• Hanging Hooks
  Hanging hooks are designed to hang the power unit on almost any foot board.

• Convenient Handle
  The handle provides additional gripping surface for the user to carry the power unit.

• Fuse
  Fuse Holder.

• Air Filter and Cap
  We recommend that the filter is kept clean to ensure optimal performance of the power unit.

Mattress and Power Unit Installations

Remove Existing Mattress

Remove existing mattress from the bed frame.

Secure Mattress Replacement

Place mattress replacement on the bed frame with the foot symbol at foot end. Secure the mattress at each side using anchor straps. Ensure that the anchor straps do not interfere with any moving parts of the bed frame before proceeding to the next step.

Secure Power Unit

Secure the power unit on to the foot board using hanging hooks.

Connect Hose Couplers

Firmly connect the air hose couplers to the couplers on the power unit.

Check CPR Pull Cord

Unzip mattress cover and inspect CPR latch is fully inserted into the socket. It should arrive fully inserted when first purchased, but it is worthwhile checking, especially when re-installing the mattress.

Power Up Unit

Plug the power unit into an electrical outlet, and turn on the main power rocker switch on the right side of the power unit.
Press power button on the control panel to inflate the mattress system. Please wait for approx. 30 seconds until the power unit is ready before making any program adjustment.

Wait for Inflation

Wait approximately 30 minutes for the mattress to inflate fully before allowing the patient to lie down on the mattress.

Ensure Patient Comfort

Perform the firmness and hand checks in section 7. Program settings before leaving the patient for long periods of time.

Program Settings

Adjusting Firmness

Centre the patient on the mattress. Adjust the mattress’ internal pressure according to the patient sensation by using the comfort button on the control panel of the power unit. If the patient feels the mattress is too soft or firm, increase or decrease the mattress’ internal pressure one increment at a time and wait for the system to stabilize before making another change until a comfortable state is achieved.

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

Transfer

It is recommended to have the mattress system fully inflated during the transfer process. To do this increase the comfort setting to +2. Make sure the bed is secured before proceeding.

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 6.2.

Rapid Deflation

In the event of requiring rapid deflation, disconnect the air hose couplers from the control unit, allow the air to discharge from the mattress with the patient’s own weight and turn off the control unit. To resume normal operation, simply re-insert the air hose couplers, ensure that the main power rocker switch on the right side of the power unit is on and press the power button on the control box to restart inflation.

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.
The recommended wash temperature is 70°C, at 95°C the shrinkage rate is 1% higher and the colour might run insignificantly.
Always replace the coverlet before using the mattress. If the coverlet is not properly fitted to the mattress the hybrid alternating pressure cells may move. There is also a high risk of cross contamination if the mattress is used without a coverlet.
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.
Only disinfected and dry systems should be stored. Disconnect the air hoses from the power unit. Roll up the mattress starting from the head end and working down toward the foot end. Use the straps to secure it and store in clean plastic or other storage bag. Store in a cool, dark place.

Troubleshooting
