3 FEATURES
PUMP AND MATTRESS SYSTEM
Description
The Lumex LS200 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 LS200 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 12 minute cycle (see ALTERNATE function on page 13); or instead,
the caregiver can select the STATIC function (see STATIC function on page 13).
• Low Pressure failures will produce an audio alarm for added safety. The alarm can be
temporarily muted by pushing the pump front panel ALARM RESET button, resetting the
alarm for 20 minutes.
• The foot board mounting hanger provides convenient placement on the bed.
