CPR FACILITY
(Fig. 5)
The CPR device is situated at the head end on the
right hand side of the mattress (viewed from foot
end), as indicated by arrows on the mattress tag.
For rapid deflation rotate the dial of the CPR device
anti-clockwise to ‘
click’
into the open position . If
re-inflating the mattress, make sure the dial of the
CPR device is rotated clockwise until it ‘
clicks’
into
the closed position .
PATIENT TRANSPORT FACILITY
(Fig. 6)
Press MAX. INFLATE button (if applicable) to
fully inflate the mattress. When maximum
pressure is achieved, detach the mattress
air supply hose from the power unit by
rotating the mattress hose connector anti-
clockwise until the black lines align, and
pull the mattress hose connector away. The
mattress will remain inflated, so supporting
the patient.
All alternating air pressure mattresses can
be used on profiling bed frames, slatted
frames, in-filled frames and divans.
Back rests or pillows for support should be placed beneath the mattress to allow uninterrupted
body contact with the mattress surface.
Place the bottom sheet loosely on the mattress to allow the mattress surface greater contact
with the patient’s body. Avoid using fitted sheets. The use of incontinence sheets / excessive
bedding beneath the patient may reduce the pressure relieving effect of the mattress.
To remove air from the mattress when dismantling the system, use the CPR facility as
described above.
Care should be taken when raising and lowering bed safety side rails in order to avoid
possible interference with the CPR and cushion connection port where fitted.
A gap of 2.5cm on either side of the mattress should not be exceeded when side rails
are deployed.
