USE OF PRODUCT
RECEIVING AND UNPACKING
The OptiCell 4 PRO V2 air mattress is delivered rolled
up in cardboard. Use of knives should be avoided when
unpacking and handling due to risk of damage.
Check that the product is not damaged. In the event of
transport damage, see page 17.
An OptiCell air mattress system contains:
• 1 pump
• 1 power cable (6 meters)
• 1 mattress, with air hose cable, CPR valve and OptiTex cover
The mattress can be set in place and made ready for use immediately.
PLEASE NOTE:
• The air pump should not be used in humid areas
nor should it be left outdoors in damp
weather conditions. If the pump is exposed to water, avoid handling it until it has dried.
• Take care when handling the pump, power cable and air hoses.
Air hoses can be
pinched and damaged by bed rails etc.
• The mattress’s comfort and function
change depending on its air pressure in relation to
the patient’s weight. Keep in mind that a tall patient can weigh the same as a short patient,
but may need a different pressure. This must always be carefully observed for each patient.
• The biggest risk for the patient is to “bottom out” on the mattress.
The basic rule is
that the part of the body to be unburdened must not be subject to pressure. If the patient
“bottoms out”, the objective of the mattress is lost. See page 11 for information on the Hand
Check test.
• The patient should not be positioned with their respiratory system turned towards
the mattress.
It is important that no sharp objects come in contact with the mattress.
To prevent damage to the mattress avoid knives, keys and other objects with a
cutting or puncturing ability from coming into contact with the mattress.
STORAGE
The OptiCell 4 PRO air mattress system should be stored in the dry and at room temperature.
We recommend that the mattress be kept rolled up in one of our optional transport bags.
The mattress should not be treated carelessly when stored, as it risks being damaged.
Avoid exposing the mattress to direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
