Product Description
The Product is an Alternating Mattress Replacement System used in the prevention and relief for patients
with, or vulnerable to, pressure injuries. This Product oers patients a comfortable and relaxing support
surface by using the established principles of alternating therapy, which can both prevent skin breakdown
and enhance healing.
The mattress pump features a digital pressure adjustment function, mode selections, patient turning
features and audiovisual alarms.
The mattress features a multi-stretch PU coated fabric cover (with high MVTR) along with 20 alternating
air cells and a rapid release twist CPR valve for use in the event of a CPR emergency.
Key Features
• Patient weight range of this mattress replacement is 30-450kg, this should not be exceeded at any
time
• 1-in-2 and 1-in-4 alternating air cycles provides acute level therapy for maximum pressure redistribution
and wound management
• Turning Cycle – With the ability to turn a patient, the Product ensures safe patient transfer and lateral
movement, improving manual handling and wound therapy outcomes
• Quick Inflation Blower Pump – High powered mattress pump ensures rapid inflation and the ability to
eectively support loads up to 450kg
• AutoLock – The control panel automatically locks if not touched for 2 minutes preventing accidental
changes to modes and settings
• AutoProtect - When the head of the bed is raised to 25ºor more, air pressure automatically increases
by +10mmHg. When the head of the bed is raised to 45ºor more, air pressure automatically increases
by +15mmHg to prevent bottoming out
• 24 Hour Transport - In the event of a power failure, patients can remain on the inflated surface for
up-to 24 hours
• Easy-to-read LCD - Clear LCD screen provides concise information on cycle time selections, as well as
operating mode and fault conditions

• Audible & Visual Alarms – Activate immediately if a problem occurs, maximising peace of mind and
reducing patient risk
•Variable Speed Pump –The pump automatically runs at the minimum speed required for eective
pressure care to reduce vibration and noise which improve patient sleep quality
• Variable Cycle Times – A choice of 10, 15 or 20 minute cycles of alternating mode and pulsate mode,
and 10 to 95 minute cycles for turning mode to meet the needs and comfort requirements for a wide
range of patients
• Simple Cell Connections – O-ring connections make maintenance hassle and tool free

WARNINGS highlighted throughout this document identify possible hazards in procedures or
conditions which if not followed correctly could result in serious injury, or fatality.
General
• Electrical equipment can be hazardous if used incorrectly
• Residual current devices (RCD) are not supplied with the Product. Please consult with your Biomedical
Engineer/advisor concerning RCD requirements
• The clinically qualified person responsible should consider the age, size and condition of the
patient before using the Alternating Mattress Replacement
• The maximum safe working load of the Product is 450kg with a safe patient range of 30-450kg
• This replacement is not to be used on top of a pre-existing support surface. This is a Mattress
Replacement so there is no need for a static foam mattress or pressure safety underlay to be located
underneath, this replacement can go directly onto the bed platform
• Hassle Free Pump Maintenance – Modular Pump design ensures Pumps can be serviced and returned
to use quickly minimizing downtime
• Power Cord Protection – L shaped connection coupled with the protector function, significantly
reduce the risk of the power cord becoming loose and getting damaged
• Cable Management – Power cable retainer loops oer eective cable management for the removal of
trip hazards and cable damage
• If placed in static mode, the system will reduce to 70% of pressure level depending on comfort settings
chosen.
• Cell retention band prevents the inadvertent movement or separation of the cells that could lead to
friction and shear

Auto Protect
Additional air is pump under the mattress pelvic region when the bed backrest angle is raised to prevent
patient bottoming out. This is also referred to as a Fowler Function.
1. Auto protect activates when the bed backrest angle exceeds 25º, at this point an additional
10mmHg of pressure is provided by the pump. This additional pressure increases to 15mmHg once
bed backrest angle exceed 45º.
2. Once the backrest angle falls back to under 25º or 45ºof elevation, the pump will revert to the
previous mode/setting
