Rapid Deflation of the Overlay or Mattress Replacement
Most, but not all, mattress replacement and overlay systems have a cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR) or Rapid Deflate plug to allow rapid deflation of the mattress replacement or overlay system. None
of the seat systems have a CPR (or Rapid Deflate) plug.
The CPR (or Rapid Deflate) plug is located at the head end of the overlay or mattress replacement, on
the same side as the tubeset (refer to Figure 5). For rapid deflation of the overlay or mattress
replacement in an emergency, pull the CPR (or Rapid Deflate) tag to remove the CPR (or Rapid Deflate)
plug from the manifold.
To re-inflate the overlay or mattress replacement, replace the CPR (or Rapid Deflate) plug securely,
reconnect the manifold tubes to the pump, and switch on.
