MATTRESS SYSTEM SET-UP
Note
: Make sure that the hose end of the mattress is towards the foot of the bed.
Note
: When installing the KAP Medical mattress system, do not exceed the manufacturers rated weight of the
mattress or the bed frame. See the bed manufacturer’s manual for bed frame weight rating.
Note
: Make sure the CPR valve is in closed position, bolsters and air pad plugs are connected and locked in place
before inflating the mattress
Note:
Care should be taken such that the air inlet vent on the control unit is not covered, and the control unit is
not placed on the floor in such a manner that it is a hazard for flow of traffic or lowering of bed frame.
Note:
Before using the KAP Mattress System, please remove current mattress, mattress replacement systems or
overlay systems from the bed.
Overlay Mattress system
:
•
When using the Overlay mattress system, care should be taken such that the overlay is placed directly on an
existing 3” to 5” foam mattress.
•
Unroll the Overlay and place it on the foam mattress.
•
There are two elastic straps, one at the head and the other at the foot section. Two long straps on one side and two
short straps with buckles on the other side of the overlay. Insert head and foot elastic straps around the foam
mattress. Loop each long side strap around the foam mattress and fasten it securely to the short strap on the other
side using the buckle.
Replacement Mattress system
:
•
When using the replacement mattress system, care should be taken such that the mattress is placed directly on the
bed frame.
{Figure 1,(B), Page 16}
•
Unroll the Replacement Mattress and place it on the bed frame (BF).
•
There are ten nylon black straps with buckles (F), two straps at the head of the mattress, two on the foot of the
mattress, and three on each side of the mattress. Loop each strap around the bed deck and secure using the
buckle (D-ring). Note: Make sure Head, Knee and Foot sections of the bed can be raised and that straps are
secured to the deck and not to the frame. Once the mattress is strapped, tuck the exposed straps under the
mattress.
•
Pull out the hanger on the back of the control unit (A) and suspend the control unit from the footboard (FB) of the
bed (BF). If the bed you are using does not have a footboard, place the control unit (A) on its base (not on its back
where the filter is located) on a flat surface in front of the bed near the foot of the bed frame (BF).
•
Uncoil the power cord (Q) and plug the cord into the appropriate AC power source (X), which is properly grounded.
Plug the other end of the power cord into the control unit and press it in place.
Note:
Care should be taken such that the power cord of the control unit is not pinched, or has any objects placed
on it. Ensure it is not located where it can be stepped on or tripped over. Make sure the control units power inlet
connection is positioned to easily disconnect the power cord from the unit.
•
Connect the mating connector (R) on the mattress hose assembly (V) into the insert on the control unit connector
and lock it in place.
Note:
Care should be taken such that the mattress hose is freely suspended without being pinched or kinked.
