187692(10) - EN - P280 Mattress Instructions for Use
To Find the Right Comfort Setting:
1. Fully inflate the device in the required operating mode.
2. Gradually decrease the pressure until the patient feels comfortable, but
without reaching the lowest pressure level.
To Check Manually the Pressure of the Device:
1. Slide your hand under the air cushions
beneath the patient's sacrum, with the
palm facing upwards.
2. Raise your hand: there must be a
2 or 3 cm gap under the sacrum.
3. If this is not the case, increase or
decrease the pressure accordingly.
For reference only, in theory, the level 1 comfort setting corresponds to 30 kg
and level 10 corresponds to 140 kg.
Over-Inflation
In order to provide added support for the patient when seated, the pressure can
be increased slightly above the selected level in the alternating low pressure and
continuous low pressure modes.
The indicator light near the
symbol comes on, in addition to the light of the
selected operating mode.
Maximum Inflation (P-Max)
When connected to the mains power supply for the first time, the P280
automatically inflates to P-Max and the indicator light near the
symbol
comes on.
It then returns to the default mode:
Comfort Setting “5”, “Alternating Low Pressure” Mode, 10 minute cycle.
The device can be fully inflated manually when the patient is being moved or
repositioned or wants to leave the bed. The device then returns to the
previously selected operating mode after 30 minutes.
