raising the siderail, you will hear a “click” when the siderail is securely in
place. To store a siderail, lower it completely, then push it in under the bed
surface.
Always tug slightly on a siderail after adjusting it to ensure that it is securely
locked in place.
ZoneAire® Sleep Surface
The ZoneAire® Sleep Surface is a multiple-zoned mattress enclosed in foam,
ideally suited for the reduction of patient interface pressure. The closed air
system is monitored electronically to ensure proper inflation. The system
operates in three modes: pressure relief, auto firm, and heel relief.
Pressure Relief Mode
The pressure relief mode is for patients who are assessed to be at risk for
pressure ulceration, and who require pressure relief. In the pressure relief
mode, the air pressure in each zone of the mattress is automatically maintained
to optimize the interface pressure on the patient. Air volumes change to control
the surface around the patient’s body, especially the bony areas, to evenly
distribute the pressure across the body. The surface adjusts to the patient’s
weight distribution, position, and the bed articulation.
To activate: Press the surface power switch to begin the automatic pressure
relief mode.
Auto Firm Mode
The auto firm mode inflates the air mattresses to maximum firmness. This
helps with patient transfers, procedures, and repositioning. The auto firm mode
also comes on automatically when the CPR Release is activated. After 30
minutes, the mattress returns to its original setting. This helps ensure that a
patient does not rest on a firm surface for an extended period of time.
To activate: Press and release the auto firm switch on the ZoneAire® Sleep
Surface controls. The indicator light illuminates, showing that the mattress is
in the auto firm mode.
Heel Relief Mode
The heel relief mode is for patients who are assessed to be at risk for pressure
ulceration, with particular risk to the heel area due to their low level of
mobility. The heel relief mode decreases the pressure under the heel area, and
slightly raises the surface under the calves. There are three heel relief zones
