Quick Reference Guide
Power Switch & Alarm Reset - Switches the mains power to the pump on and off.
When the pump detects an alarm condition, it can be cancelled by switching the pump off and then back on.
The Wait indicator is illuminated when the mattress is being inated. The indicator will remain illuminated until the
mattress has been fully inated. This may take up to 15 minutes.
Alarms - During an alarm condition the triangular alarm symbol will ash, an audible alarm will sound and one of the
following indicators will be illuminated: Low Pressure, High Pressure, Pump Fault, Power (Fail).
The Low Pressure indicator is illuminated whenever the pump detects low pressure within the mattress. An audible
alarm will sound unless cancelled by the Mute button. The indicator will extinguish once normal pressure is reached.
Make sure the CPR is closed, the tubeset is connected properly and the mattress is set to Normal.
Press the Static button to select Static mode. An audible tone will sound when the button is pressed. The indicator on
the Static button will only illuminate when the pump is in Static mode. Press the button again to return to Dynamic
mode.
Pump Fault - Internal pump malfunction. Call Service Engineer.
The Power (Fail) alarm indicator will illuminate when a mains power failure has been detected. An audible alarm will
sound. The alarm will continue until the mains power is resumed or the pump is switched off using the Power switch
on the pump. If the power failure is prolonged, switch to Transport mode and disconnect the tubing.
Examples of the Power (Fail) alarm are mains lead removal and power failure.
The mattress cell pressure can be manually adjusted for patient comfort using the rotary Comfort Control dial.
The High Pressure indicator is illuminated whenever the pump detects high pressure within the mattress. An audible
alarm will sound unless cancelled by the Mute button. The indicator will extinguish once normal pressure is reached.
Make sure the tubeset is not kinked and the Auto-Matt® sensor pad is at and not kinked.
The Service indicator will illuminate and remain on after a set number of running hours indicating the pump is ready
for a service. The pump will continue to function normally while the Service indicator is illuminated.
During an alarm condition the audible alarm can be muted by pressing the Mute button. The indicator on the Mute
button will illuminate to show the audible alarm has been silenced. After approximately 15 minutes the alarm mute
will be cancelled, and the audible alarm will sound.

Installation
Nimbus 3 & Nimbus 3 Professional Mattress Replacement (MR)
Place the MR directly onto the bed base, with the tubeset and
CPR located at the foot end of the bed.
Attach the MR to the bed frame using the hook
and loop securing straps.
To complete mattress installation
If the pump is to be hung from
the end of the bed, attach the
bed bracket to the bed frame.
Alternatively the pump can be
placed underneath the bed, either
upright or lying on its back.
Quick Start
When the Nimbus 3 pump is switched on using the Power switch,
the pump will run a self diagnostic check for approximately 3 seconds
during which all indicators will be illuminated.
The Wait and Low Pressure indicators will remain illuminated
while the mattress inates. Allow approximately 15 minutes for the
mattress to inate fully.
Transport Mode
To transport a patient using the Nimbus 3 mattress, turn the
Transport control at the foot end of the mattress clockwise to
Transport. Switch off the pump and disconnect the tubeset.
In this mode the mattress will support the patient for up to
12 hours.
To resume operation, reconnect the pump, turn the transport
control counterclockwise to Normal and switch on.

CPR Control
IN THE EVENT OF CARDIAC ARREST
In the event of a patient suffering cardiac arrest and
CPR needing to be administered:
To Activate the CPR
1. Lift the red handle on the control panel at foot end
of the mattress.
SAFETY SIDES
Regarding the use of safety sides, always refer to your local
trust policy AND the product instructions for use.
If the bed has divided sections for independent
elevation of a patient’s head and/or knees, attach the
mattress to the movable parts of the bed frame only.
Zip the protective cover over the mattress. Make sure that the
ArjoHuntleigh logo is uppermost and at the foot end of the mattress.
Check that the transport control is set to Normal and the CPR
control is closed and locked in position.
Make sure that the mains power cable and tubeset are positioned
to avoid causing a trip or other hazard, and are clear of
moving bed mechanisms or other possible entrapment areas.
The CPR control must be visible and accessible at all times.
Make sure the tubeset is securely connected to the pump and
the mattress.
Connect the mains power cable to a suitable mains power outlet.
2. Turn the handle counterclockwise.
3. Pull the handle away from the panel.

fully inated and normal operating pressure has
been reached.
