MAINTENANCE
General Maintenance
Select Medical recommend that frequent visual and operational inspections
are undertaken. Clean the air filter, found at the back of the control unit, once
a month with mild detegent. If there are any signs of damage, or the system
is not performing as it should, withdraw it from service until the system has
been repaired and is fit for use again.
Yearly Maintenance
• Check the air filter is in good condition and replace or clean as required.
• Check that all electrical functions operate correctly on the control unit.
•
Check that all audible and visual indicators work appropriately (when
plugged in and unplugged from mains supply).
• Check that the mattress reaches the required pressures.
• Check the CPR connection on the mattress.
• Check the cover for tears, punctures, abrasion marks and split seams.
• Check for signs of strike-through (fluid ingress) to the underside of the
cover.

•
Always disconnect the control unit from the mains power supply
prior to performing any maintenance procedures (when viable).
• No modification of this equipment is allowed.
• The mattress system should be vacated by the patient before any
maintenance or inspection takes place. If this is not possible due
to the patient’s mobility, care should be taken for the service
engineer not to make contact with the patient when working on
electrical items.
• Only Select Medical approved components specified for OLA 8 &
4 are to be used - if in doubt contact Select Medical Ltd or your
local distributor.
•
Only authorised service personnel or Select Medical service
engineers should carry out repairs or service activities. Failure
to do so may result in the product warranty becoming void.
• The mattress system should be serviced once a year, as a
minimum.
