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 previous pressure level. After 30 minutes the pump will
automatically return to the previous pressure level.
Panel Lock: To lock/unlock the panel controls.
For Nursing Care
Bed Mobility
• Press the AUTOFIRM button to automatically inate the mattress
to the maximum level of 25 mmHg
• Press the AUTOFIRM button again to return to the previous
pressure level.
• After 30 minutes the pump will automatically return to the
previous pressure level.
Seating Position
• 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.
Alarm
• LOW PRESSURE — When the pressure drops below the predened
level, the indicator light will blink along with a BEEPING alarm tone.
• POWER FAILURE — If the pump loses power, the indicator light will
blink along with a BEEPING alarm tone.
• MUTE — This button will silence only 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.
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.
