Unlock:
• The control unit will automatically lock out after 3 minutes of
inactivity.
• Press and hold the POWER/MUTE/UNLOCK button for 3
seconds to unlock the control panel.
Constant Immersion:
• The control unit will default to Constant Immersion mode when
switched on.
• Constant immersion is a reactive therapy in which all air cells
maintain constant pressure to maximise contact area and
redistribute pressure.
• A green LED will illuminate on this button when Constant
Immersion is active.
Gradient Immersion:
• Gradient Immersion (or ALP therapy) is an active therapy in
which air cells will alternate to provide o-loading.
• This mode can be selected by pressing this button.
• The cell cycle options of 5, 10 or 15 minutes can also be
changed by pressing this button.
• The chosen cycle time will be visible on the digital display.
Max Inate:
• Max Inate (repositioning mode) will rapidly inate the mattress
to provide a stable surface for nursing procedures or patient
repositioning.
• As a safety feature, Max Inate will automatically return back to
the previous therapy setting after 20 minutes to avoid the patient
being on peak pressures for long periods.
• An orange LED will be visible on this button when it is active.
Comfort Settings:
• Press the +/- button to adjust the comfort setting from -2 (softest)
to +2 (rmest).
• The control unit will automatically default to 0 (medium).
• All comfort settings are within a therapeutic window and adjusting
the setting will not alter clinical therapy.
• The chosen comfort setting will be visible on the digital display.
Pressure Monitoring:
• This LED detects changes of pressure inside the mattress. If blue,
the pressures are adjusting (e.g. inating). If green, the pressures
are static.
• Note: When this LED is green on initial ination, it can be a useful
indication that the mattress is fully inated and ready for patient use.

• The Medstrom Aria PRO has both a power failure and
abnormal pressure alarm.
• In the event of a fault occurance, the control unit will alert
audibly in addition to a visual alarm.
• To silence the alarm, press the POWER/MUTE/UNLOCK
button.
• Note: the alarm will re-alert after 3-25 minutes dependent
on the therapy mode that is active.
• The CPR valve is located at the right foot-end of the mattress.
• In the event of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, locate the CPR valve,
twist OPEN.
• The mattress will rapidly deate.
• To deactivate the CPR valve, twist the valve back to the CLOSE
position.
Immersion Scale
• The Immersion Scale LED shows the internal pressures
inside the mattress.
• Blue represents low pressure, green represents medium
pressure and orange represents higher pressure.
• The pressures alter based on the individual patient and
can be used as an indication on immersion achieved.
Transport Mode
Bridging Cells (Heel O-Loading)
• Each air cell on the Aria PRO can be disconnected via a very simple CPC
connector and replaced with a specially designed bridging cell (a smaller 5”
cell) to create o-loading for highly critical areas such as heels.
• To change the air cell, open the cover, disconnect the air cell connector from
the cell you want to change and reconnect the bridging cell.
SM547_REV3_0121
• In the event of sudden power failure, or if the mattress is unplugged, the
Medstrom Aria PRO is equipped with self-sealing technology that can
keep the mattress inated for up to 15 hours.
• During this time, the control unit will alarm (both audibly and visually). Once
muted, it will alarm every 25 minutes to alert the caregiver that the mattress
is not in therapy mode.
