BEFORE USE
DELIVERY AND UNPACKING
OptiCell SMART mattresses are delivered rolled up in
cardboard. Do not use a knife to open the packaging to
avoid any risk of damaging the product.
First check that the product is not damaged.
In the event of transport damage, see page 17.
An OptiCell SMART air mattress system contains
• 1 X pump
• 1 X power cable (6 meters) to pump
• 1 X mattress, with air hoses and CPR valve plus
OptiTex ™ cover.
The OptiCell can be installed and used immediately.
TO THINK ABOUT
• The air pump should not be used in humid areas, nor left outdoors in damp weather
conditions. Avoid handling the pump if it has been exposed to damp, until it has dried.
• Handle the pump, air hoses and power connection with care. Air hoses can be
squashed and damaged by the bed frame etc.
• The comfort and performance of the mattress will change in relation to the air
pressure in the mattress and the weight of the patient. Bear in mind that a tall user can
weigh as much as a short person but will need dierent pressure. This must always be
carefully checked for each user.
• It is important to make sure that the mattress isn’t bottoming out.
Ifthe user bottoms out, the mattress will not work properly.
See page 16 for information on how to conduct a “bottoming-out”-test.
• The user must not be positioned such that their respiratory airways are turned
towards the mattress.
It is important that no sharp objects come in contact with the mattress.
Avoid knives, keyrings or other objects that could cut or puncture the mattress
ifthey come in contact with it.
STORAGE
OptiCell pressure air systems should be stored at room temperature in a dry space.
We recommend the mattress is stored rolled up in our practical transport bag (accessory).
The mattress should be handled with care in storage to avoid risk of damage.
Avoid exposing the mattress to direct sunlight for an extended period.
