Position the resident’s head in the position that
the resident will be in for the largest portion of the
day. If the resident is lying flat, please use three
(3) fingers for the hand check. If the resident will
be sitting up for the majority of the day, please use
two (2) fingers.
• Perform a hand check by placing fingers locally
under the resident’s buttocks between two
cushions. The resident should not bottom out. If
they do, increase the therapy control by one LED
(light), until they no longer
bottom out.

the
CPR
plug is installed. The plug is located
on the hose assembly between the mattress
and the control unit.
Caution:
The safety side
bolsters should always be inflated when resident is
unattended on the mattress and/or the mattress is
in
Turn
mode.
