11. Mattress Functions 12. Technical Alarm Conditions
11.1 CPR Facility
Rapid deflation of the system maybe required
for emergency treatment.
In the event of a cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR) whilst the pump is in alternating or static
mode, release both male and female feed pipes
from the pump by pressing and holding the
connector locking clips and pulling them away
from the pump unit. Air within the cells will exit
through the feed pipes.
Do not block or join the feed pipes together
curing CPR.
The control unit will sound and the Low Pressure
LED will illuminate as a result.
To re-inflate the system, reconnect the male and
female feed pipes and restart the control unit by
switching off and then on. The control unit will
carry out its initial set-up procedure.
To allow the system to inflate correctly and
effectively, it may be necessary to reinitialise
without the patient on the mattress.
11.2 Transport Mode
If required, the mattress male and female
connectors can be disconnected from the
control unit and joined together. This will
equalise the cells.
11.3 Use of Incontinence Products
Incontinence products such as sheets or
pads can be used with the system, however
product performance is likely to reduce due
to the reduced effectiveness of the alternating
pressure distribution.
If incontinence products are to be used it is
recommended that regular patient skin checks
are performed to ensure skin integrity is
maintained.
12.1 Low Pressure - Medium Priority
The Low Pressure LED will flash red and
the alarm will sound intermittently when
the pressure drops below a predetermined
tolerance of 5mmHg. Alarm will sound after 3
minutes of loss in pressure.
12.2 Power Fail - Medium Priority
The Power Failure LED will flash red and the
alarm will sound when the mains power is cut.
The alarm will sound as soon as the power is
cut.
When switching off the control unit ensure
the Power button is pressed as disconnecting
straight from the mains will sound the Power Fail
alarm and as a result will deplete the internal
battery.
The power failure alarm is maintained via an
internal battery that is automatically kept in a
continually charged state by the mains supply.
• The mattress will remain inflated for
a maximum of 24 hours only – Return
the system to the mains supply as
soon as is practical.
• Whilst unplugged the alternating
mode will not be operational, pressure
relief will not be provided.
When muted, the alarm will not
restart, however the LED will continue
to flash.
