4.4 Hand check (function control)
The hand check is used to ensure that the mattress is
working properly. This must be performed regularly; we
recommend once per shift, or every eight hours.
Place a flat hand under the air cells directly underneath
the user’s pelvic region and make sure that the user
does not lay directly on the underlying mattress. There
should be about 1-2 fingers margin.
If you can feel the user´s body resting on your hand you need to increase the comfort settings
to next highest step. Wait 10 minutes and perform a new hand check.
4.5 CPR
In case of an emergency where CPR (cardiopulmonary
resuscitation) is necessary: Rapidly pull the CPR band.
Remove the tube connections on the side of the pump,
for even faster deflation.
NOTE!
Make sure that the CPR connector is properly
connected after use.
4.6 Low pressure
At an abnormally low air pressure in the mattress,
the symbol for "Low pressure" lights up .
. The lamp goes out when the pressure returns to normal.
Please refer to chapter 8 for troubleshooting.
WARNING!
If the air pressure remains low, check the mattress and tubes for damage. Repair as
necessary or contact Care of Sweden or one of its authorised repair technicians.
