In the event of hose disconnection while the unit is on the microprocessor will activate an
audiovisual signal to alert the caregiver by flashing the amber “LOW PRESSURE” LED and

HOLDS AIR IN THE MATTRESS DURING POWER OUTAGE – TRANSPORT MODE
The mattress will hold air during transportation or power failure as long as the mattress is
connected to the control unit.
The mattress also has a 1” (3cm) safety convoluted foam pad to provide support to the pa-
tient when the mattress is deflated.
Transport function
The advantage of the mattress is that the patient need never be disturbed in order to move
for tests or other procedures. The patient may remain in position and the side bolsters can
be deflated in order to narrow the width of the Burke Bed to fit through doors.
To narrow the bed
Make sure the switch marked “Width Expansion” is off (light out).
Remove the “wide Expansion” plugs at the foot of the bed to allow the air to escape.
Gently move the bed side rails inward to completely deflate the cells and narrow the bed to
it’s 37” (94cm) width position for transportation.
To widen bed
Make sure the “Width Expansion” plugs are plugged in to the proper ports at the foot of the
bed.
Move side rails to the outer 48” (122cm) position.
Press the “width Expansion” button on the pump control to inflate the side bolsters.
