Intended Use Statement
The device is intended to aid in the prevention of pressure ulcers related to
long-term sitting. A series of inflated air cushions are used to minimize
pressure points on the user. This device is intended to be used by infirm or
elderly persons in a health care setting such as an aged care facility or
hospital with the assistance of an attendant or carer.

Seating System
This product is fitted with the unique
AirComfort Seating System that is
designed to redistribute seating
pressure and improve overall
comfort. The AirComfort Seating
System is comprised of four
separate air cushions:
• Backrest air cushion
• Lumbar air cushion
• Seat air cushion
• Leg rest air cushion
Each air cushion is inflated to a
pre-determined volume that is
based on extensive testing.
This inflation will be suitable for
most users provided that the
correct size bed has been selected
or prescribed. It is unlikely that the
level of inflation in the air cushions
will require adjustment to suit an
individual user, however, should
adjustment be desired, please
follow the detailed instructions
outlined below. User should consult
a healthcare professional before
adjusting air pressure level.
Please note that these instructions
explain how to reset each air
cushion to the original level of
standard inflation.
To do so, it is first necessary to fully
deflate each air cushion. If for any
reason additional inflation beyond
standard is desired, it is not
necessary to first deflate the
air cushions.

Resetting Air Cushions: Step 1 – Deflation
Each of the four air cushions is fitted with an extended tube and brass
Schrader valve that can be accessed externally on the bed. When facing
the bed, each valve is located on the left hand side of the upholstery.
Backrest Valve
Lumbar Valve
Leg Rest Valve
Seat Valve
To gradually release air,
FLIP THE CAP OVER and
use the tip to compress the
valve core. Simultaneously
apply pressure to the
cushion by hand or by
sitting in the bed until the
cushion is fully deflated.
To quickly deflate the
cushion, use the hand tool
supplied to remove the
valve core. Then apply
pressure to the cushion by
hand or by sitting in the
bed until the cushion is fully
deflated.
The backrest wings and
seat arms should be
rotated into the down
position to best gain
access to the valves. First
remove the valve cap.
Schrader
valve
NOTE: To reset inflation level to standard setting, ensure the air cushion is first fully deflated.

16
Resetting Air Cushions: Step 2 – Inflation
Each AirComfort bed is supplied with a hand inflation pump. Correct
inflation is based on air volume and measured by the number of full
compressions of the supplied hand pump. It is possible to purchase a larger
pump (FOOTPUMP) for improved efficiency.
Secure the pump to the
valve, ensuring a snug fit.
For recommended Air
Cushion factory settings,
refer to the guide on the
next page.
Ensure that the valve is
tight and secure - then
replace and tighten cap.
The backrest wings and
seat arms should be
rotated into the down
position to best gain
access to the valves. First
remove the valve cap.

Deluxe V2 User Manual

Important Note:There is a low level of inflation as standard in each of the
air cushions. This level of inflation is set to ensure that the user benefits from
maximum immersion into the cushion, while still being supported by air. Correct
immersion into the cushion increases overall surface contact, redistributes
pressure and improves comfort. Conversely, adding too much inflation beyond
standard can increase seating pressure and reduce comfort.
