Altus Pro Series — Operation Manual
INTRODUCTION
This manual should be used for the initial set up of the system and for
reference purposes.
General Information
The Altus Pro System is a high quality and affordable Alternating Pressure
Mattress (APM) system suitable for medium and high risk pressure ulcer
treatment. It has been designed to aid in the prevention of bed sores and
is an affordable solution to 24 hour pressure area care.
The Altus Pro System has been tested and certicated
to the following standards:
• ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1
• CAN/CSA C22.2 NO.6060 -1
• IEC 60601-1-11
Intended Use
The Altus Pro System is intended to reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers
while optimizing patient comfort. Great for the following:
• Individual homecare setting.
• Long term care.
• Pain management as prescribed by a physician.
Contraindication
Patient conditions for which this application of pressure relieving therapy
should not be used:
• Cervical or skeletal traction
• Unstable spinal cord injuries
NOTE
• These mattresses do not have AP or APG protection.
• Do not operate directly on the oor.
How Alternating Pressure Mattresses (APM) Work
The APM is designed to reduce interface pressure and aid in the treatment
and prevention of pressure ulcers/sores; specically patients with visible
pressure ulcers/sores falling under Stage 2 – 4. The pressure is created by
an alternating/variable pressure pump that pumps air into a mattress lled
with air cells. Each cell contains tiny holes allowing air to escape. This
function provides a continuous pressure relief environment while helping to
reduce heat and moisture from building up by allowing air to diffuse through
the mattress surface. These products are prescribed as a means to “treat”
pressure ulcers.

INSTALLATION
Unpack the box and check for any damage. If damaged, please contact
your dealer immediately.
Pump & Mattress Installation
1. Place the mattress at on the bed frame. The ination tube should
be towards the foot of the bed so that it can be connected to the
ination nozzle on the pump.
2. Hang the Altus Pro Pump over the frame or at the foot board of the bed.
Make sure the pump is secured.
3. Connect the ination tubes from the mattress to the pump’s
inating nozzle. Make sure they are properly attached.
4. Make sure the air hose is not kinked or tucked under the mattress.
5. Before plugging in the Altus Pro Pump, make sure the voltage
is compatible with AC120V/60Hz output.
CAUTION
• DO NOT position any of the equipment where it will make it difcult to
disconnect the power cord from outlet.
• Keep the power cord away from patient to prevent injuries such as
strangulation.
• Make sure to disconnect the pump by unplugging the power cord
when it is not in use.
OPERATION
Turning ON the power
When the power switch is pushed to the "ON" position, the switch will light
up green along with a “BEEP” sound to signal the Altus Pro Pump will soon
begin inating the mattress. By default the pump will start in the Auto Firm
mode to ll the mattress. There will be a three second delay from the sound
of the “BEEP” till the time the pump begins to inate the mattress. The LOW
PRESSURE indicator (red) will icker as the ination of the mattress takes
place.

Altus Pro Series — Operation Manual
NOTE
• The audible LOW PRESSURE alarm will not be heard when inating the
mattress for the rst time.
• If the pressure does not reach the 10 mmHg pressure setting in
3.5 minutes after the pump is turned on, the audible alarm will start to
beep, and the LOW PRESSURE indicator will continue blinking.
• The user can then adjust to the desired rmness once the mattress
has been completely inated.
Pressure Adjustment
The pressure of the mattress can be set by pressing the Pressure Range
keys. There are a total of 8 different pressure levels to select from, ranging
from 10 to 25 mmHg. See page 5, option No. 1 for location and details.
Automatic pressure control
During normal operation, the Altus Pro will monitor pressure changes and
keep it at the set level. If the pressure drops below the set level, the blower
will automatically speed up to compensate and increase ination of the
mattress. When the set pressure level is reached, the pump will maintain.
NOTE
• If the pressure is consistently low, the alarm will beep and the indicator
light will turn on.
• If there as an obvious leakage (i.e. loose connection, hose disconnection,
cell puncture, etc.) the audible/visible alarms will be activated.
For Patients:
WARNING
• DO NOT use another pump other than the Altus Pro Pump supplied with
this mattress. It is dangerous to use a pump with pressure capacity over
120 mmHg. This may result in cell-puncture.
• DO NOT change any component by yourself. If replacement or repair
is needed, contact your local dealer or service center.
Mute: This button will silence the LOW PRESSURE alarm, but the indicator
will continue blinking. Re-pressing the MUTE button will re-activate the
audible alarm. To silence the POWER FAILURE alarm tone, press the
power switch to the off position.
Seat Mode: Press the SEAT button to achieve even support and 5 mmHg
higher pressure to prevent the patient from bottoming out when
placing the patient in the seating position for feeding or other
applications.

the indicator will continue blinking. Re-pressing the MUTE button will
re-activate the audible alarm. To silence the POWER FAILURE alarm
tone, press the power switch to the off position.
CPR
• When there is an emergency and CPR needs to be performed
on the patient, pull the Ination/CPR tube to quickly release the air
from the mattress.
• The Ination/CPR tube is located on the lower right side of the pump,
opposite side from the power switch.
Check the air filter on the rear of the unit regularly for buildup of
dust/dirt. If buildup is visible turn off the control unit and disconnect
the power cord from the wall outlet. Remove the filter by opening
the filter door. Replace with a clean filter. Ensure the replaced filter
covers the entire filter region. Hand-wash the removed filter in warm
soapy water and allow to air dry. When dry, store the filter in a safe
place for the next filter maintenance.

CLEANING
In this section describes the procedures to clean and decontaminate the
APM System. It is important to follow these procedures before using the
system on patients.
Pump
• Do not immerse or soak pump in water.
• Check for external damage and move the pump to clean, at and level
work surface where you will be able to clean your Altus Pro Pump.
• Place the pump on the work surface
• Spray a cloth with a quaternary ammonium solution rst and wipe the
outside of the case and faceplate.
• DO NOT spray any cleaning solution directly on the surface.
• DO NOT use a Hypocarbonate or Phenolic based cleaning solution
as this may cause damage to the case.
• DO NOT allow excess cleaning solution on faceplate or control panel.
(If solution gets inside the pump, damage will occur.)
• Wipe with a clean cloth and make sure all areas are clean and dry
(top, bottom and both sides).
• After the pump is thoroughly cleaned and dried, proceed to plug in the
pump and test to see if it runs normally.
• Unplug the pump and store with proper identication tag.
Mattress
• Wipe down all surfaces with soap and water before using any
other disinfectant.
• Any obvious blood spots should be wet down thoroughly with a
1:9 Hypochlorite solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) and allow
to dry for at least 10 minutes. Then blot with a clean, damp cloth.
• The air cells are unsnapped from one side and are sprayed on all sides
with a disinfectant. Let it sit for the required incubation time and wipe
down with a clean cloth. (Make sure to disconnect all the air cells,
one by one, and spray the disinfectant on all sides, including all the
connecting tubes and hoses. Let it sit for least 10 minutes).
• If there is a base after you remove all the air cells, the base has to be
sprayed down with the disinfectant, inside and out. Let it sit for the
required incubation time and wipe down with a cloth.
• Repeat the process with the tubing set: spray, incubate, and then wipe
clean.
• Dry the mattress in a SUNLESS area after cleaning.
For your safety, the pump is equipped with a thermal shut-off in case of
overheating. If the unit stops, check that the fuses on the back of the pump
are still operative and replace if blown. Check that the filter is clean
and replace as necessary.

MAINTENANCE
General
• Regularly check the power cord and plug to inspect for abrasions
or excessive wear.
• Regularly inspect the mattress cover for signs of wear or damage.
• Ensure mattress cover and tubes are connected together correctly.
• Plug in the pump and check the airow from the hose connection port.
Regularly inspect the air hose for any kinks or breaks.
For replacement parts, please contact your local agent or dealer.
Low pressure
If you are experiencing lower than normal pressure from your mattress,
check the following:
• Check connections between the air mattress and pump. If they are
loose or disconnected; reconnect them.
• Ensure each single cell is not broken. Set pressure dial to rm and
keep the tubes fully inated and inspect for air leakage. If any leakage
occurs, please contact your local distributor.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
• Remove all hoses and covers.
• Completely deate the mattress.
• Lay the mattress out at and upside down.
• Start from the foot end and roll the mattress towards the head;
