8. Troubleshooting
Pump does not start
Check that the power cord is connected to the power socket.
Check the fuses.
Alarm is on
Check that the quick connectors to the air tubes
= mattress is deflating
on the side of the pump are properly connected.
Check that the CPR valve/valves are closed.
Open the mattress and check for leaks from air cells or tubes.
Check that all tube connectors are properly fitted and
connected.
No air in head cells
When the mattress is inflated, the 4 static head cells are filled
last.
Patient is bottoming
The comfort setting may be set incorrectly. Increase the
pressure and wait a few minutes. Do a hand check. Refer to
section 4.3.
Check that the CPR valve/valves are properly closed.
Mattress moves around
Check that the air mattress is fastened to the bed frame with
the straps underneath (two at the head and two at each side of
the bed).
Some cells have less air
This is normal since the air flow alternates between every other
cell for a set cycle time (one cycle = 10 minutes).
Pump is noisy;
Check how the pump is hung on the bed. Resonance can occur
vibrations are felt
in parts of the bed. Remove the pump and listen to see
whether this makes a difference. Can be resolved by putting
the pump on a flat, steady surface or by placing a towel
between the pump and bed.
