SYSTEM INSTALLATION
The following describes the procedures for
setting up the system for the first time.
a)
Remove all covers, sheets and mattress from the bed.
b)
On a standard bed, position Mattress Replacement
on top of bed, printed top cover facing upwards and
air hoses towards the base of the bed. Attach to the
bed by securing the adjustable straps under each end
of your bed. Ensure buckles are securely fastened
and straps are pulled tight. On a profiling bed, secure
the side straps around the moveable sections of the
bed base.
c)
On a profiling bed, secure the side straps around
the moveable sections of the bed base.
DO NOT
SECURE TO THE SIDE RAILS - STRAPS

d)
Confirm there are no sharp objects in the
immediate area which may risk damage to the
Mattress Replacement.
Important
:
Check that the attachment of the
Mattress Replacement does not interfere with the
movement or operation of the bed.
Pump Unit Activation
a)
Position Control Unit by hanging hooks over foot
board of the bed or place unit on the floor under the
bed.
b)
Attach the air hoses through the use of the quick
connector to the Control Unit. Ensure air hoses do
not kink between mattress, bed frame and Pump
Unit.
c)
Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet with
grounded AC power.
NOTE: Before inserting the plug into the outlet,
make sure the voltage is compatible. Also make
sure this product is well grounded.
d)
Switch the power button on. Allow up to 40
minutes for full inflation.
e)
Once ready, the
indicator of the power key
will
remain on - lay the patient on the bed and select the
appropriate comfort level.
Perform a “bottom out” test to ensure that patient is
properly suspended. Slide your hand under the top
cover along a deflated cell in the sacral (bottom)
area. Secure sheets loosely enough to ensure they do
not interfere with cell alternation.
