Setup Notes
DynaLAL III Low Air Loss Alternating
Pressure Mattress
Unpack the mattress and control unit (pump). If you are using it for a client demo, be sure to keep the boxes and
mattress bag just in case you need to send the mattress back to Quart Vancouver or Quart Toronto.
•Wipe down bed frame before placing mattress onto the bed deck. Place mattress on deck, arranging so that
air supply tubes are at the foot of the bed.
•Secure the mattress to the bed frame with ties (black webbing) located on the underside of the mattress. Ties
at the head of the bed should be snug. Ties located toward the middle section and foot of the mattress should
be less snug, allowing the mattress to move as needed when the head or foot of the bed is raised/lowered.
•Place control unit onto the frame of the bed (foot end) using handles attached to the back of the control unit.
•Connect air hose, exhaust hose, and electronic sensor cable to control unit.
The air supply hoses (grey connector) must plug into the controller with the
two plug indentations lining up with the matching ridges on the control unit
socket.
•Unzip cover and check to ensure all bladders (air cells) are connected to
feeder tubes. Ensure no hoses are kinked. Zip the cover back up, ensuring
zippers are all completely closed.
•Plug control unit into power outlet. Ensure the power cable is fed through
loops along one side of the mattress to avoid becoming a tripping hazard.
•The STANDBY LED will illuminate when control unit is plugged into electrical
outlet.
•Press the STANDBY/OPERATE button on the front panel (OPERATE LED will now be illuminated and the
control unit will be in operation)

•Press the MAX button to activate quick inflation; allow 1 minute for full inflation. After fully inflated press
MAX again to end the fast inflation mode.
Chose the appropriate therapy mode;
ALTERNATE - Select cycle time 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes.
PULSATE – Pressure in all cells will increase and decrease together in 1 minute intervals.
STATIC - The mattress will provide ONLY true low air loss therapy.
•Adjust the system’s pressure setting. The control panel shows patient weights from 80lbs – 1000lbs. Pressure
Settings are not intended to match patient weight exactly. Settings provide a reference point to determine
optimal pressure. Optimizing pressure for individual clients should be done in collaboration with a healthcare
professional. When adjusting pressures between 80lbs – 300lbs reference settings, the green light just above
LBS will be illuminated. When adjusting pressures between 350lbs – 1000lbs settings, press BARI and then
adjust pressure up or down to determine a setting that provides optimal comfort while ensuring there is at least
4” between the clients’ deepest point of emersion and the bottom of the mattress.
Additional In-use Adjustments
AUTO - When activated, the system will detect leave-bed, bottoming-out and will activate fowler inflation when
the head of the bed is raised 30+ degrees.
ALARM – When activated, alarm will sound when detecting leave-bed, sensor disconnect or bottoming-out.
FOWLER – When activated, system’s pressure and firmness will increase to support patient when the head of the
bed is raised 30+ degrees, preventing patient from potentially bottoming-out.
LOCK – When activated, buttons on the control panel will be non-functional. Press and hold the LOCK button for 3
seconds to activate or deactivate lock-out function.
If power is lost during operation, the control unit includes a memory function and will default to previous settings
when powered back on.
AIR FILTER must be cleaned monthly and replaced as needed.
