ABOUT YOUR MATTRESS
HOW TO SET UP YOUR
MATTRESS
COVER:
The Series3-V4 comes with a
cover which provide an
impenetrable barrier to viruses and
bacteria. The cover has welded seams
that are ingress proof, minimising any
risk of harbouring viruses or bacteria
and transmitting infections.
The cover includes a fire evacuation
base which means handles can be easily
accessed in case of emergency and
used for moving and transporting.
An additional inner cover protects the
foam and cells.
THE SYSTEM
OSKA Series3-V4 alternating pressure
system is a replacement system which is
designed to be placed directly onto the
support surface of a nursing bed.
Application in regular bed types is pos-
sible, however, preference is given to a
patient profile nursing bed.
The system consists of control unit
featuring a membrane pump and a bed
overlay with 20 air cells arranged in a
transverse manner. The entire cell unit is
equipped with a bi-elastic PU protection
cover.

UNPACKING THE MATTRESS
Please ensure the box is not damaged
upon arrival. Avoid using a knife
when opening the box and any other
protective material as this could damage
the mattress and/or cover.
Place the Series3-V4 onto the bed frame
and adjust the cover if needed. The
mattress has a black side that should
be down on the bed frame, and a blue
fabric side that should face up towards
the patient.
HAND CHECK
The hand check should be conducted
regularly to check the mattress is
functioning correctly.
With the cover open, using a vertical
hand, insert your hand between the
air and cells directly underneath the
patient’s sacrum. The correct clearance
between the mattress base and patient
is 2-3 fingers. Check the cells and tubing
if this is not the case. If problem persists
please contact OSKA
TM
.
Confirm that the bed frame is
appropriate for use with the mattress,
and that the length and width of the
mattress are appropriate for the frame.
Place directly on a healthcare bedframe
only, never on top of another mattress.
Leave for a few minutes before using.
