The pipes from the mattress will connect here. It is important that pump can be
disconnected in an emergency if CPR is to be administrated.
A
Comfort Setting
The pump has a scale printed on the front panel in kilograms. Press the comfort
control button until the nearest desired weight setting is illuminated on the display
panel. When the mattress is in use the user can adjust the comfort setting as required
for the service user’s needs. A slight increase of the comfort setting may be required if
the service user needs extra support when the bed is profiled. When the bed platform
is laid flat readjust the setting as required for the service user.
B
Power Switch
Press the power button on the front control panel once to start and stop the pump.
If you cannot change the setting check the lock out mode is not activated. - See ‘F’
C
Visual and Audible Low Pressure and Power Failure Warning/Alarm
The pump is fitted with an audible and visual alarm. Press the ‘Mute’ button to
reset the alarm. The alarm will activate after 45 mins if the mattress has not fully
inflated while in the start-up mode. When the mattress is inflated the alarm mode
will reset and the alarm will now activate if it detects a fault on the system.
The LED next to ‘Fault’ will illuminate red when a fault is detected with the system.
The LED next to ‘Power Failure’ will illuminate red when a fault is detected with the
power supply.
D
Alternating/Static Mode Indicator
When the pump is switched on for the first time it will enter ‘Start-up Mode’ and
inflate all the cells. The ‘Alternating Mode’ LED will flash to indicate that the pump
is in ‘Start-up Mode’. Once all the cells have been inflated the LED will change to
a constant light and ‘Alternating Mode’ will be activated automatically. The cells in
the mattress will then inflate and deflated to prove pressure relief for the service
user.
E
Auto-Lock Indicator
The pump ‘Auto-Lock’ will activate automatically after the controls have not been used
for one minute, signified by an illuminated LED green light next to the unlock symbol
illuminating. This function will prevent alteration of the settings on the pump unless
unlocked. Unlock the auto-lock by pressing and holding on the unlock button. Wait
until the pump bleeps once and the LED light extinguishes. Access to the different
functions will now be made available.
F
Static Mode
The static mode can be operated by the user to inflate all the cells for patient care.
Press the static mode button, the static mode LED will illuminate when this mode is
engaged. The static mode will stop working after 30 mins and the pump will revert
back to the alternating mode if there is no further interaction with the pump.

OVERVIEW
Bed Hooks
Attach the pump to the foot end of the bed. Adaptor brackets are available to fit
different sizes of beds. If the pump cannot be attached to the foot end of the bed it is
the user’s responsibility to ensure that the pump is placed in such a position that it will
not cause harm or injury to the service user.
The pump unit must be placed so
that it can clearly be seen and monitored at all times.
