AUDIBLE ALARM ON/OFF:
When the “Alarm On” light is on, alarm will sound
if “Low Pressure” indicator light comes on. Press Alarm button to silence.
DISCONNECT / WAIT: RESETTING:
The Disconnect function resets the
system to the ideal inflation level required for use of the mattress in the non-
powered therapy mode without an attached, powered control unit. To
maximize pressure redistribution, the disconnect procedure should be
performed at a time when no patient is on the mattress.
Press “Disconnect” button. Amber “Wait: Resetting” indicator will illuminate
while the mattress air system is being reset to the ideal inflation level.
During this time, the selector buttons and indicator lights of the Comfort Level,
Therapy Mode, Audible alarm, and Auto Firm will be inactive. The On/Off
selector will be also be inactive, but its green indicator light will remain active.
Pressing the “Disconnect” button again while the “Wait: Resetting” indicator
light is on will return unit to the settings it was in prior to the “Disconnect”
button being pressed.
Once the system has reached its ideal setting, the “Wait: Resetting” light will
turn off, replaced by the green “Disconnect” light. The green On/Off light will
change to amber, indicating that the unit is no longer powered up but is still
plugged in and drawing a current. The control unit can now be disconnected
from the mattress.
WARNING: Do not remove the control unit before it has properly re-set
the air system through use of the Disconnect function. Failure to wait for
completion of the disconnect function—or attempting to set the mattress
at a particular inflation level by disconnecting the control unit while it is
in another mode—can result in a pressure management profile that is
inappropriately high or low for a particular user. This could have
negative impact on pressure ulcer prevention, wound healing, and user
support.
NOTE: If circumstances make it necessary to disconnect the control unit before
the patient can be removed from the mattress:
•
lower HOB to flat position
•
ensure patient is in the center, supine position
•
place the surface in “Autofirm” mode for 3-5 minutes prior to
performing the disconnect function.
While the resulting air level will be safe for non-powered use, the system may
not be at the ideal non-powered setting. Therefore, the control unit should be
reattached and the Disconnect procedure performed at the first opportunity
with the patient off the mattress.
