MAINTENANCE
At point of service the following aspects must be maintained
to ensure that manufacturer’s
warranty remains intact. These can be done in a non-alphabetic way, if all areas are covered:
•
Ensure the pump unit and mattress / cells are fully decontaminated prior to service and are
cleaned in accordance with the schedule provided.
•
Electrical safety checks / Pat Test
– To be conducted annually or time of service. Please
make sure the kettle lead and plug fuse is compliant at 3amp only.
•
Filters must be changed at point of return / before patient handover / new client and at time
of service.
•
Rear pump fuse must be inspected and replaced if faulty
– 0.5A only.
•
Pump casing must be opened and vacuumed internally, if any dust or particles are evident.
Never use any water / fluid internally to clean.
•
Pump must achieve pressure within 20% tolerances as per page 9 of this manual
– via
calibrated sphygomometer and cell attachments. Kits available to purchase via
manufacturer. Ensure that a rapid inflator is used at time of service to ensure that service
and installation time is reduced to minutes.
•
Pump low pressure function is evident at 6mmHG or lower for 15-20 minutes or more.
•
Cells are to be fully inflated and tested for leakage. This should be done via a pressurised
system, soak test over at least 3 cycles or under weights to replicate patient in situ.
•
The tubing and connectors that run down the side of the mattress, must be clear of kinks /
debris or must not be snapped in any way. These should be running freely with air
distribution to each cell and have no leakage or deterioration of surface. A spring is situated
at the head section of the mattress tubing at to avoid kink in the critical area.
•
The none return valve holding the 3 head cells must be functioning correctly. This is evident
via 3 solid static head cells / none alternating during cycle.
•
A functional “soak test”, ensuring that the tactile panel / pump and mattress operates fully in
synergy. This is done by attaching and inflating the mattress to full pressure and then
increasing / decreasing both weight and other panel / button functions.
•
The key lock button is effective by release / addition, holding 3 seconds or more to activate.
•
CPR is to be checked functionally and deflated after all soak tests are completed.
•
Mattress Cover and cells are to be inspected for puncture, tear, rip or excessive odour post
cleaning and replaced accordingly if defective.
•
Calibration setting as required. See page 12 for further details.
Storage
Good ventilation will be required when storing the product & it should always be kept dry & away
from direct sunlight. Temperature should be maintained in the region of 22°C ± 3°C when in use.
Avoid repeat exposure to extreme temperatures.
