1. Ensure all cord connections from wall
plug, breakaway connection at head
end and pump connector are properly
seated in their sockets.
2. Check Control Unit fuse under power
socket - flick open with small flat
head screwdriver and replace fuse if
necessary.
Only use fuse type 10Amp 250Volt
1. Ensure that the CPR hose connector
is properly attached to the side of the
control unit.
2. Remove the top cover and listen for
any hiss of air from the cells. The
powerful 20 litre pump should ensure
that you can hear where there is a cell
leak. If you still cannot hear - remove
the coverlet and or run the back of
your hand along the top of the cells to
find the air leak.
Also look for any deformed cells as
these may have internal weld failures
leading to leaks of air between
separate internal chambers.
Once the faulty cell is found - remove
and replace with the same type.
3. Look for any disconnection between
hoses and their T or L connectors.
Don’t forget to also check whether the
air hoses are correctly connected to
each of the cells.
1. Open top cover and check along the
sides of the inside base section. It is
easy to see immediately if any of the
external press studs have become
disconnected.
One press stud set connects two cells
- if the studs are faulty - replace those
cells.

System Descripton
Congratulations on your hire or purchase of a Theraflow alternating
mattress replacement system. The Theraflow with its Dynam-U-link
cell technology and Cellstay ultra-stretch coverlet represents one of the
greatest advances in alternating support technology since its inception.
Dynam-U-link cells use elastic transfer straps so that inflating cell sets
literally pull down the deflating sets beside them. This results in faster,
more sustained pressure release.
The Cell Stay coverlet positioned between the cells and top cover comforts
and insulates the patient from the colder cells without compromising
therapy. This coverlet also guards against reperfusion injury in patients with
delicate vasculature and tissue.
Your mattress system has the following features.
Control Unit:
• Powerful yet quiet 20 LPM compressor with non-continuous operation
• Auto startup with choice of three modes - Static, Active and Care
• Choice of three comfort settings
• Incline mode for adding extra support pressure
• Simple tamper resistant control interface with audio visual diagnostics
• Easy to reach CPR side disconnection
Mattress:
• Fully welded top cover and base for complete infection control
• Removable cell section for easy separation of base for cleaning
• Four static head cells to prevent dizzyness and disorientation
• Clear PVC base bonds to any metal bed base avoiding need for straps
• Fourteen alternating Dynam-U-link cell pairs for faster, lower and
longer cell deflation
• Cell Stay insulating hi-stretch Coverlet
• Internal power cord removes chance of damage underneath the bed
