9. CPR Mode
CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) can be performed using the
red CPR valve which is situated at the head end on the left hand
side of the mattress.
For rapid deflation gently pull and rotate the dial of the CPR valve
to ‘click’ into the OPEN position. At the same time, disconnect the
air pipe connector from the power unit to speed up the air release.
If re-inflating the mattress, ensure the dial of the CPR attachment
is rotated until it ‘clicks’ into the CLOSED position.
10. Transport Mode
If the patient is being moved on the mattress, or there is a power
cut, general pressure can be maintained in the system for an
adequate period of time whilst disconnected from the mains.
Simply disconnect air pipe connector and place the connector cover
over it. The air pressures in the mattress will now equalise, but
maintain a degree of comfort. This will maintain the cells in their
present state for approximately 48 hours.
It is important to restore the Tamora Plus II dynamic replacement
mattress as quickly as possible by reconnecting the supply tubes to
the power unit.
11. Alarms & Fault Findings
The Tamora Plus II is equipped with audible and visual alarm indicators. These alert the user to the
status of the available mains supply and any mattress defect.
11.1 Low pressure alarm
Upon detection of low pressure, an audible alarm will be heard and the Low Pressure indicator will
illuminate. The audible alarm may be cancelled by pressing the Alarm Mute button. The Low
Pressure indicator will continuously illuminate until the low pressure fault condition is resolved.
This condition could be caused, for example, by incorrect fitting of the air pipe connector, opening of
the CPR valve or a leak in the mattress due to a cut or puncture.
