4 Introduction
soft air® simplex wds is a cover mattress system, meaning there should be an
additional mattress on the bed with a thickness of at least 5 cm.
This system is suitable for patients with a body weight of 40 to 130 kg.
Please note that these weight indications are applicable for patients in a lying
position. Other positions will result in another distribution of weight.
The soft air® simplex wds system is a dynamic three chamber pressure relief
system (ABC-System) with a constant total cycle time of 10 minutes.
With the black switch at the middle of the front panel you can select alternating
pressure or static pressure.

Place the soft air® simplex wds system on the present mattress and fix the straps
to this mattress. For this purpose simply tuck the bottom parts underneath the
head and foot of the mattress and place it back on the bottom of the bed.
Place the mattress in such a way that the tubing of the system is located at
the foot of the bed.
Verify the CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation) function is closed. The CPR is
designed to quickly deflate the mattress. For quickly deflating the mattress pull
the yellow strap.
Hang the power unit at the foot end of the bed or put it under the bed.
Please note that the unit should not be covered in any way, as thermal
damage can occur!
Connect the tubes to the power unit by pushing the tube on the corresponding
pipe of the power unit.
Note: Check from time to time that the hoses are firmly fit and well connected
onto the pump.
Check if the tubes are not bent or trapped between other parts.
Plug the power supply in.
Switch the unit on. It will take about 30 minutes to inflate the system. After that
the patient can be placed on the mattress.

7 Pressure setting
The most effective pressure level can be set manually by turning the knob at the
front display of the power unit. Under the deepest point of the patient (normally
under the hip) has to be a distance of 3 - 4 cm to the bottom of the overlay system.
Check it with your hand. 3 - 4 cm are about 2 fingers wide. Open the cover and put
your hand between a inflated and a deflated cell. When the patient sinks too far in
the mattress the „Hammock-effect“ occurs. This should be avoided at all times.
Please take care that the lordosis area’s are filled with supporting material to ensure
the most effective surface contact area.
If there is too less pressure (only one finger), you have to turn the knob clockwise.
If there is too much pressure (check if there is enough supporting material under
the lordosis of the spine and the knees), you have to turn the button anti-clockwise.

8 Static function
In case of a contra indication for alternating pressure according to the indications
overview, the large cell mattress can be switched from alternating pressure to static
pressure with the wds switch at the power unit. Adjustment to maximum comfort in
this mode can be achieved the same way as before.
As in static mode all cells are active, it is necessary to reduce the set pressure
with about 10 – 15 mbar.
To switch over to static function, press the black switch in the middle of the front
panel to “Static”.
To switch over to alternating pressure press the switch at “Alternating”.
Don’t forget to increase the pressure when switching over to alternating
pressure.
Please make sure that the CPR plug (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) is always closed.
This CPR plug is located on the head end of the mattress and is marked with a red flag
labeled CPR. To verify if CPR is tightly closed, the cover near the CPR plug must be
opened by partly unzipping the cover. The lid of the CPR should be tightly closed. For
this, the lid must be pressed firmly into the CPR lower part.
Avoid accidentally opening the CPR when lowering the bed rail. In the event of an
emergency, the system is deflated by jerking the CPR tab. The patient lies on the stron-
ger foam after about 30-60 seconds. Please note that it is better not to perform cardio
pulmonary resuscitation on a foam mattresses. Best is to position the patient on a firm
ground e.g. bu using a special resuscitation board.
