3.1
Pump & Mattress Installation
1. Place the DOMUS 2 on top of a foam or mattress bed. Secure the
mattress firmly by fixing the straps to the bed frame if available.
NOTE: DOMUS 2 is an overlay system, so there must be a foam or
mattress underneath when using.
2. Hang the pump onto the footboard and adjust hangers so the pump is
secured in an upright position; or place the pump on a flat surface.
3. Connect air hose connectors from air mattress to the pump unit.
NOTE: Check and ensure the air hoses are not kinked or tucked
under mattress.
4. Plug the power cord into electrical outlet.
NOTE: 1. Make sure the pump unit is suitable for the local power
voltage. 2. The plug is also served to disconnect the device. Do not
position the equipment so that it is difficult to disconnect the device.
CAUTION: The pump should only be used with mattress recommended by the manufacturer. Do
not use it for any other purpose.
5.
Turn the main power switch found from the right side of the pump to ON position.
Several installation tips are listed below:
After installation, the extra length of the power cord, if any, should be neatly arranged to avoid any
tripping accidents. The EQUIPMENT should be firmly placed at position where users/doctors can
access easily.
4. OPERATION
NOTE: Always read the operating instruction before use.
4.1
General operation
1.
Switch on the main power switch on right side of the pump.
2.
Adjust the pressure setting based upon patient comfort level by turning the pressure
adjustment knob clockwise to increase firmness.
NOTE: Every time the mattress is set up for use, it is recommended that the pressure first
to be set to the max. The user / career can then adjust air mattress weight levels to the
desired softness after set up has been completed
4.2
Emergency operation
When there is a need to perform emergency CPR on the patient, pull the quick release CPR
tag located at the head-end of the mattress on the right hand side if available. The quick
connector found from the pump unit can also be disconnected to hasten deflation. Be sure to
reconnect the quick connector to the pump unit once restore the power supply.
5. CLEANING
It is important to follow the cleaning procedures before using the equipment on human bodies;
otherwise, patients and/or doctors may have the possibility of getting infection.
CAUTION- Do not immerse or soak pump unit.
Wipe the pump unit with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. If other detergent is used, choose one
that will have no chemical effects on the surface of the plastic case of the pump unit.
Wipe down the mattress with warm water containing a mild detergent. The cover may also be
cleaned by using sodium hypochlorite diluted in water. All parts should be air dried thoroughly
before use.
CAUTION - Do not use phenolic based product for cleaning.
CAUTION - After cleaning, dry the mattress without direct exposure sunlight.
6. STORAGE
1. Lay the bubble pad or mattress on a flat surface and upside down.
2. Roll-up the mattress from the head end towards the foot end.
3. Foot-end strap can then be stretched around the rolled pad/ mattress to prevent
unrolling.
NOTE : Do not fold, crease or stack the mattresses.
7. MAINTENANCE
1. Check main power cord and do not plug it if there is an abrasion or excessive wear.
2. Check mattress cover for signs of wear or damage. Ensure mattress cover and tubes
are stubbed together correctly.
3. Check the airflow from the air hose. The airflow should alternate between each
connector every half-cycle time.
4. Check the air hoses if there is kink or breaks. For replacement, please contact Apex
Medical Corp. or your suppliers.
8. EXPECTED SERVICE LIFE
The products are intended to offer safe and reliable operation when used or installed according to
the instructions provided by Apex Medical. Apex Medical recommends that the system be
inspected and serviced by authorized technicians if there are any signs of wear or concerns with
device function. Otherwise, service and inspection of the devices generally should not be required.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE : If the pressure level is consistently low, check for any leakage (tubes or air hoses). If
necessary, replace any damaged tubes or hoses or contact your local qualified dealer
for repair.

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked
with the following symbol:
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6,765 MHz to 6,795 MHz;13,553
MHz to 13,567 MHz; 26,957 MHz to 27,283 MHz; and 40,66 MHz to 40,70 MHz.
The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz
to 2.5 GHz are intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause
interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 is used in
calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges.
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land / mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy.
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the device is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the device.
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and this
device:
This device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled.
The customer or the user of this device can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum
distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and this device as recommended
below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters
(m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output
power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
