3 FEATURES
PUMP AND MATTRESS SYSTEM
Description
The Lumex LS300 Alternating Pressure / Low Air Loss Mattress System is a specialized mattress
replacement unit that utilizes low air loss technology with specialized mattress design that
provides pressure management for the treatment of pressure ulcers. The 2:1 alternating function
also provides active prevention for pressure relief, especially for those in acute care and long
term care settings (the cells inate and deate in a 2:1 cycle, meaning 1/2of the body is always
supported at any one time). The Lumex LS300 Alternating Pressure / Low Air Loss Mattress System
offers “cell on cell therapy”, whereby the cell is split in two where the bottom cells do not deate
if the upper cells are completely deated in order to provide extra protection and “zero” pressure
comfort for the patient in the event of a power failure and the mattress deates. The soft-rm
adjustment allows the patient to adjust the rmness or softness of the surface for optimal comfort
with a comfort level dial.
PUMP FEATURES
• Alternation time is set to 10, 15, or 20 minute cycle (see ALTERNATE function on page 12); or
instead, the caregiver can select the STATIC function (see STATIC function on page 12).
• Low Pressure failures will produce an audio alarm for added safety. The alarm can be
temporarily muted by pushing the front panel ALARM RESET Button, resetting the alarm for 20
min.
• The foot board mounting hanger provides convenient placement on the bed.
Pump front panel Pump rear view
MATTRESS FEATURES
• Individual air cushion design for maximum pressure distribution.
• Vented air cushion provides true low air loss therapy.
• Cell on cell design for “zero” pressure comfort during loss of power.
