3. Installation
The Nimbus 3 and Nimbus 3 Professional systems are very simple to install
using the following guidelines.
Refer to Section 4, Page 11 “Controls, Alarms and Indicators” for a
comprehensive description of the controls and indicators on the pump and
mattress.
Preparing the Nimbus 3 and Nimbus 3 Professional Systems for Use
1. Remove the system from the packaging. You
should have the following items:
•
Nimbus 3
pump, with integral mains power cord.
•
Nimbus 3
mattress replacement or the
Nimbus 3 Professional
mattress replacement.
• Bed bracket.
• Tubeset.
Installing the Nimbus 3 or Nimbus 3 Professional Mattress
1. Remove the conventional mattress from the bed
frame and check that there are no protruding bed
springs or sharp objects on the bed frame surface.
Heavily ridged bed baseboards may require special considerations for
correct system operation - consult your Huntleigh Healthcare
representative.
2. Unroll the mattress onto the bed base and make
sure that the CPR is at the foot end, and the CPR
label is hanging freely.
3. Attach the mattress to the bed frame using the hook
and loop securing straps.
If the bed can be profiled to any position (i.e. raised or lowered), attach the
mattress to the movable parts of the bed only.
