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 3 is our high end, digital pump designed to provide controlled compressed air to a
pressure care mattress or active seat cushion. 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.
The Harvest 3 provides the highest air pressure of the Harvest Healthcare pump range
and therefore outputs suitable ow for all use with all Harvest Healthcare active pressure
care mattresses. This includes use with bariatric products, and for occupants with more
complicated clinical needs.
This pump has audible and visual alarms for low pressure, power failure and cycle fault, static
mode and a lock out facility. Extra features include maxi rm mode, seat inate mode and four
choices of cycle time - 10, 15, 20 and 25 minutes.
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.
BEFORE USING THIS SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME:
-
-
Harvest Healthcare products bear the CE mark and meet all safety and functionality
requirements.
These safety requirements can only be met if the user is satised with the proper condition of
the product (including accessories) before use.

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 patient being put at risk.

E[email protected] www.harvesthealthcare.co.uk 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.
