GENERAL INFORMATION
AirCare Max-Pro is a digital pump designed to provide controlled compressed air to a
pressure care mattress. The inflated cells within the supplied mattress providean
alternatingpressuresurfacedesignedtoreducesurfacepressureontheskinand therefore
reduce risk of the development of pressure ulcers in susceptable patients.
This pump has audibleandvisualalarms forlow pressure, powerfailure andcyclefault,static
mode and a lock out facility. Extra features include maxi firm mode and four choices of cycle
time - 6, 9, 12 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).
Failureto do this could put the service user at risk. This could prolong the recovery process or
increase the risk of further tissue damage.

E Alarm Mute
Thepump isfitted with an audibleand visual alarm. Press the ‘Mute’button to
reset the alarm. Initiallythe alarm will sound after 40mins if themattress hasnot
fully inflated while inthe start-up mode. Once safely inflated the alarm will sound if
it detects a cycle fault or low pressure fault on thesystem.
F Alternating Mode
When pump is switched on for the first time it will inflate all the cells.
The alternating mode LED will illuminate to indicate that the pump is in low-pressure
mode. Once all the cells have been inflated the alternating mode will activate (normal
pressure mode). The cells in the mattress will then inflate and deflated to prove
pressure relief for the service user.
G Static Mode
The ‘Static Mode’ can be operated by the user to inflate all the cells for patient care
andtransfers.Press the‘Cycle Time” buttonuntil all 4 LEDwillilluminategreen for

I Comfort Level (kg)
The pump has a scale printed on the front panel in kilograms. Press the comfort
control button (-) or (+) until the nearest desired weight setting is illuminated on
the display panel. When the mattress is in use the user can adjust the comfort
setting as required for the service user’s needs. A slight increase of the comfort
setting may be required if the service user needs more support when the bed is
profiled. When the bed platform is laid flat readjust the setting as required for the
service user.
J Lock Button
Press “Lock” to lock pump panel. Press “Unlock” to unlock pump panel.
K Bed Hooks (Back of Pump)
Attach the pump to the foot end of the bed. Adaptor brackets are available to fit

INFLATING THE MATTRESS/CUSHION
1 Plug in at the mains supply, press the ON button on the side of the pump and then
on the control panel. The control panel will light up to indicate that there is a power
supply.
2 The pump is in start up mode. Once the mattress is fully inflated it will be ready to use.
While in start up mode do not select static mode. This will cause the pump to
alarm. If the pump alarms, switch off the pump and switch it back on to reinflate the
mattress.
The mattress is now ready to be used.
Set the pump to run at the correct pressure to suit the weight of the
service user. Refer to the Pump Control Panel guide on the front of
the pump.
To turn off the system press the power button to OFF and unplug from
the mains supply.
TRANSPORT MODE
If the pump needs to be disconnected for any reason attach the transport cap to the feed
tubes connector. This will prevent deflation retaining the remaining air within the mattress.
The alternating action stops in this mode.
SETTING UP PROCEDURE
It is important to follow the correct setting up procedure to ensure the patient receives
sufficient support whilst achieving maximum pressure relief and comfort.
Failure to follow this procedure could result in the patient being put at risk.
1 When the mattress is fully inflated set the pump to the approximate weight of the
serviceuser.Positiontheserviceuserinthelyingposition.Ifrequiredadjusttheweight
setting to meet the patient’s comfort needs.
2 Ensurethatthecomfortsettingis alteredcorrectly whenthe patient moves from alying
to a sitting position andviceversa.
NOTE: The static mode is only to be used for patient care. Switch off after use.
