WARNINGS &
CAUTIONS
READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND OBSERVE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING
This pump must be properly installed and operated as directed by this user manual.
The pump should be checked regularly to ensure correct operation. Loss of function
will remove all pressure relieving properties.
This pump, when connected to a pressure relieving system, is intended for use as part
of a pressure ulcer prevention program; do not rely solely on this device to achieve
the result. The medical professional is responsible for applying best medical judgment
when using this system.
Select the correct setting for the occupant’s weight and therapy required. Care should
be taken not to accidently change pressures once set as the effectiveness of the
therapy may be reduced.
All hoses must be free of kinks, twists and must be properly connected and positioned
so as not to cause any obstruction.
Do not position the pump in a way that prevents access to the disconnection device
(mains power plug).
Ensure the mains lead or pump cannot become trapped or crushed, e.g. by raising or
lowering of bed or bed rails or any other moving object.
Check the mains lead is damage free and positioned so as not to cause an
obstruction or injury e.g. strangulation or trip hazard.
Ensure that the electricity supply is of the type stated on the pump unit.
Do not place pump on or near a heat source or cover with bedding.
Harvest Healthcare advise against smoking whilst the system is in use to prevent the
accidental ignition of associated items which may be ammable, such as bed linen.

GENERAL
INFORMATION
Harvest 2 is our mid-range pump designed to provide controlled compressed air to a pressure
care mattress. The inated cells within the supplied mattress provide an alternating pressure
surface designed to reduce surface pressure on the skin and therefore reduce risk of the
development of pressure ulcers in susceptable patients.
It is ideal for use in both community and nursing home settings. This pump has an audible
and visual alarm with static mode. A range of features are available with the Harvest 2
including a power failure, cycle fault and low pressure alarm, and LED display. The capacity
of the pump is suitable for mattresses and active seat cushions. The Harvest 2 pump gives
a greater weight limit than that of the Harvest 1, and ts all our active overlays and standard
replacement mattresses.
Harvest Healthcare supply a pump and mattress but it is the user’s responsibility to ensure
each system meets the guidelines set out in the pump and mattress guide (shown below).
Failure to do this could put the service user at risk. This could prolong the recovery process or
increase the risk of further tissue damage.
For information on our mattress range please refer to the mattress user manuals, available on
our website, www.harvesthealthcare.co.uk.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Read through this instruction manual conscientiously from start to nish.
Note the safety instructions which must be observed.

Set the pump to run at the correct pressure to suit the weight of the
service user. Refer to the ‘Pump Control Panel’ on the front of the
pump.
If the pump needs to be disconnected for any reason attach the transport cap to the feed
tube connector. This will prevent deation by retaining the remaining air within the mattress.
The alternating action stops in this mode.
TRANSPORT MODE
To turn off the system press the power button to OFF and unplug from
the mains supply.
When the mattress is fully inated set the pump to the service user’s approximate
weight. Position the service user in the lying position. If required, reset the weight
setting to meet the patient’s comfort needs.
Ensure that the comfort setting is altered correctly when the patient moves from a lying
to a sitting position and vice versa. If a patient is being moved to a sitting position, the
comfort control dial should be increased to provide more support for the patient. For
example, if the patient is 50kg and is in the sitting position the comfort dial will need to
be increased to the 60kg setting.
Note: The static mode is only to be used for patient care. Switch off after use.

2
SETTING UP PROCEDURE
It is important to follow the correct setting up procedure to ensure the patient receives
sufcient support whilst achieving maximum pressure relief and comfort.
Failure to follow this procedure could result in the service user being put at risk.

15
CLEANING & CARE
PUMPS
For general cleaning wipe with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent and water
solution. This may be followed by either wiping with a sodium hypochlorite solution to a
dilution of 1000ppm (parts per million) or by using alcohol wipes.
DO NOT USE HYPERCARBONATE, PHENOL-BASED CLEANING
SOLUTIONS, ABRASIVE COMPOUNDS OR CLEANING PADS.
NOTES FOR CARE OF ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS
Following the use of a detergent and or disinfectant solution rinse the mattress cover
with clean water using a clean cloth and allow to dry.
Frequent or prolonged exposure to high concentrations of disinfectant solutions will
reduce the useful life of the mattress cover.
Where high concentration disinfectants e.g. > 10,000ppm chlorine releasing
agent (e.g. Haztab or bleach) or combined cleaning/chlorine releasing agent (e.g.
Chlorcleam, Actichlor) and detergent solutions are used to remove blood or other
body uids, mattresses should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water to remove any
residues. This will help prevent any long term compatibility issues associated with
disinfectant residues.
Alternatively, disinfection may be achieved by laundering at temperatures not
exceeding 80°C for 10 minutes which may include a chlorine rinse.
