correctly clicked into place, otherwise a leak may 
occur.  Attach the power lead, plug into the mains 
outlet and switch the power on at the side of 
power unit adjacent to the power lead entry. Once 
inflated (approx. 5 minutes) increase the comfort 
control setting to SEATED using the UP arrow 
button.

 

  NB. If using the power unit from an operating 

mattress system, first press the MAX. INFLATE 
button to fully inflate the mattress, then rotate 
the air supply hose connector anti-clockwise and detach from the power unit to 
seal the air within the mattress to leave it fully inflated. To reconnect the mattress 
to the power unit after using the cushion, switch off the power unit and disconnect 
the cushion adaptor. Re-connect the mattress air supply tubing to the power unit, 
and switch on the power unit (operation will automatically default to Active mode).

 

b) To use the cushion whilst the mattress is operating, simply attach the air supply 

hose from the cushion to the connection port on the side of the head end of the 
mattress by matching up the alignment markings and pushing together the CPC 
connectors until they 

click into place

 (Fig. 4), increasing the comfort control setting 

to SEATED. The mattress and cushion will operate simultaneously, allowing the simple 
transfer of the patient between the bed and chair. NB. When the patient is in bed, 
return the comfort setting to the mattress settings of SOFT, MEDIUM or FIRM.

It should be noted that the use of an alternating air pressure cushion will increase the 
patient’s seated height by approximately 5cm, and care should be taken to ensure the 
patient’s comfort and security regarding height of foot and arm rests.

OPERATION BUTTONS

The operation buttons on the face of the power unit provide the following functions.

THERAPY MODE

Pressing the THERAPY MODE button will toggle between ACTIVE (1 in 4 alternating 
air pressure cycle) and CONTINUOUS LOW PRESSURE therapy modes. The selected 

therapy mode is shown on the display screen.  The default mode is ACTIVE therapy.  To switch 
to CONTINUOUS LOW PRESSURE mode, press THERAPY MODE button for 2 seconds until an 
audible tone is heard.  The system will then display 'PLEASE WAIT' and requires approximately 
2 minutes to initialise.

COMFORT CONTROL

Air pressure is regulated within each of the cells throughout the cycle so that support, 
posture and therapy are constantly maintained at optimum levels, in response to 
patient weight, movement and position. Equalisation of cell pressure automatically 
takes place at each stage of the 1-in-4 cycle, again to ensure precise pressure
