7. Installation and Set-Up
7.1 Setting up Cushion
For the comfort and safety of the patient do not put them onto the cushion until system indicates that it
is fully inflated. The cushion is designed to completely replace any existing cushion which may be in
use on a bed.
Remove any existing cushion and ensure that there are no protruding parts or sharp objects on the
seat which could cause damage to the cushion. Lay the cushion on the seats surface ensuring that it
is located as per the label.
To check if the pressure is adequately supporting the patient, slide 2 fingers between the air cushion
and the patient’s bottom. You should be able to slide in-between confirming the inflated cells are
supporting the patient.
7.2 Setting up power unit
The power unit can be placed on the floor underneath the chair.
Caution: Ensure that the power cable is routed in such a manner so that it cannot
be twisted, trapped, crushed or stressed.
7.3 Connecting cushion to the power unit
Remove the cover of the air pipe connector and connect the air pipe
connector to the power unit and then ensure that the air tubes are free
from any kind of obstruction, and are not kinked.
Plug the power cable into a suitable electrical
socket and switch ‘ON’
using mains power switch found at the side of the power unit. All
indicators on control panel will light up.
The power unit will start Inflation (inflation mode) and the
Normal
Pressure
indicator will flash. Turn the comfort control to the maximum.
Once the cushion replacement is fully inflated, you can then set to the
appropriate setting suitable for the patient.
Caution: The power unit must only be connected to the cushion replacement
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not use it for any other purpose.
