Rhythm Multi LAL/AP Operational Guidelines
1. Carefully plug power cord of Control Unit into a
properly grounded power source. Turn on the
master mechanical power switch on the right
side panel. The STANDBY LED will illuminate
on the keypad.
2. Press the Main Power Button. The OPERATE LED
will illuminate and the airflow will commence.
3. The Rhythm Multi mattress utilizes true low air
loss therapy (1275L per minute) at all times
during operation. Set optimal air pressure for
the patient by using a hand check method.
4. The mattress defaults in STATIC mode. Press the
MODE button once to change the therapy to
PULSATE. This setting supplies pulsation therapy
where the pressure in the mattress lowers for 90
seconds and then rises back to the original
pressure for 90 seconds, a wave-like motion.
5. Press the MODE button a second time for the
ALTERNATE mode. This setting provides 3 in 1
alternating pressure therapy for treatment and
prevention of pressure ulcers. The cells inflate
and deflate in a 3:1 cycle, meaning 2/3rds of the
body is always supported by air at any one time.
6. The CYCLE button controls the alternating
pressure cycle time in the ALTERNATE mode.
CYCLE is selectable from 3 to 95 minutes A
CYCLE marks the time each 1/3 set of bladders
are deflated.
7. PLEASE REMEBMER TO CLEAN THE FILTER ON
THE BACK OF THE RHYTHM MULTI AT LEAST
EVERY 30 DAYS. The black filter that is housed
in the back of the Control Unit can be rinsed
under running water and set to dry for 15
minutes. If you notice any dust clogs on the
filter opening, use a vacuum to remove.
