EXPANSION AIR CELLS
•
To increase the length of the mattress, obtain an air cell expansion kit and connect the male connector to
the female connector on the exterior wall at the end of the mattress (see picture above).
•
Use the straps and snaps to secure the expansion top sheet to the mattress.
LOW PRESSURE (
“L” “P” flashing on display panel)
•
In the event of hose disconnection, the microprocessor will activate an audiovisual signal to alert the
caregiver either by flashing “L” “P” on the display panel and turning on the buzzer or displaying Low
Pressure on the screen, flashing the amber “POWER FAIL” LED, and turning on the buzzer. Once the
low pressure problem is stable, the audiovisual signal will cease and the unit will resume operating its set
mode.
CPR FUNCTION
•
To deflate the mattress / overlay pad or for a CPR procedure, disconnect the mattress hose from the
control unit by pulling the mattress hose connector straight out from the control unit magnetic connector.
The CPR Valve on the mattress can also be used for a CPR procedure by rotating the CPR Valve to the
open position
PATIENT TRANSPORTATION
•
To transport a patient without removing the patient off the bed, turn off the control unit, disconnect the
power cord from the power source and roll it up on the control unit securely.
•
The mattress will deflate within a few seconds after the control unit has been turned off.
