SECTION 2 POWER UNIT OPERATION
2.1 Normal operating m ode
In the normal operating mode the system will i nflat e and deflate each cell
series every 12 minutes .
The inflation pressure can be changed using the pressure adjustment dial
on the power unit; this can be varied between approximately 35 mmHg and
60mmHg.
To ensure patients receive effective pressure relief the system should
always be se t to the dynamic setting.
2.2 Setting the op timum p ressure
When in dynamic mode all pressures will apply therapy to the user but it is
generally accepted that the higher the pressure setting the greater the
therapeutic effect, however this may have a trade off in terms of patient
comfort . The optimum setting for the patient, balancing comfort against
therapy will differ between patients .
Once the patient is in place, use the pressure adjustment dial to reach the
desired setting for patient comfort/therapy .
When selecting a lower pressure setting ensure the patient is not
bottoming out by sliding a hand under the patient s sacral area (b uttocks )
when the cell is fully deflated. The patient should be lying flat on their back
in a supine position for this assessment (see F igure 7) .
Fig 7: Check fo r bottoming out
9
Having established a base-line, pressure can be increased to provide
added support for the semi - recumbent (sitting up) patient.
NOTE: Wait a minimum of 12 minutes between any pressure adjustment
and patient assessment. I t wil l take a full cycle for the system to adjust to
the new setting.
2.3 Use of incontinence products
Incontinence products such as sheets or pads can be used with this
system. H owever , product performance is likely to reduce due to the patient
experiencing less pressure relief when using these aids .
If incontinence products are to be used it is recommended that regular
patient skin c hecks are performed to ensure skin integrity is maintained .
2.5 Static m ode
The system has the capability to operate as a static inflated mattress. This
function enables nursing staff to carry out procedures on a static support
surface and/or to assess the ability of a patient to withstand a static support
surface. This is necessary to facilitate patient step down to a non-
alt ernating product.

10
WARNING
THE STATIC MODE WILL REMAIN
OPERATIONAL UNTIL THE STATIC SWITCH IS
RETURNED TO THE DYNAMIC POSITION.
WHEN IN STATIC MODE THE PATIENT MUST
BE REGULARLY CHECKED FOR SKIN
INTEGRITY.
To select static mode depress the dynamic/static switch to static , the
static light will now be illuminated amber (see F igure 8) .
The pressure can be adjusted to suit using the pressure adjustment dial on
the front of the power unit . The P ressure should be reduced when using the
static mode to check for a patient s suitability to tolerate a static mattress.
Fig 8: S et ting power unit to static mode
Regular patient skin checks should be performed to ensure that a static
support surface can be tolerated. Ideally patients should remain on a static
support surface for no more than 2 hours without undergoing a thorough
skin check. If the patient cannot tolerate static mode the system should be
reverted to dynamic therapy by repressing the dynamic/static switch to
dynamic . The static light will extinguish and the green normal light will
be illuminated . T he system will now be operating in dynamic mode.
2.6 Transport m ode
The transport mode is achieved by disconn ecting the four air pipes from the
power unit and then connecting them together. Disconnect the pair of pipes
with turquoise colour connector s first , then the two single pipes with the
Dynamic / St atic
Rocker Switch
Static
Pressure Adjustment

orange and black connectors. The two single pipes snap fit into the d ual
connection pipes as shown in F igure 9 .
Fig 9: Connecting pipes for transport mode
There will be air loss from the system when disconnecting/connecting the
pipes for transport mode. The longer it takes to connect the air pipes
to gether the greater the volume of air lost. If the pressure is increased prior
to the disconnection the effect of the air loss will be reduced .
Note: the pipes should only be connected together when the mattress
needs to be moved whilst remaining inflated. If the user needs to be on a
mattress which is not alternating, static mode should always be selected
the pipes connected to the power unit.
2.7 Cardio pulmonary r esuscitation (CPR)
The mattress can be quickly deflated for CPR. To begin CPR deflation,
twist the CPR valve in the direction of the arrows to align the two red dots ,
as shown in figure 10. The mattress will deflate in approximately 30
seconds.
Fig 10: Activating the CPR valve
If required , the mattress can be re-inflated while supporti ng the patient by
twisting the mattress CPR valve back to the original position with the white
dots realigned . The mattress will then re -inflate in approximately 30

12
minutes back to its original pressure setting. Note: Until the system re-
inflates to the desired pressure the red alarm light will be illuminated.
SECTION 3 ALARM S
3.1 Pow er d own a larm o peration
The power down alarm indicates an interruption in power supply that can
be caused by either a mains failure and/or turning off the power unit. The
alarm will produce an audible sound and/or a red flashing light. These
alarms can be selected by means of a sliding switch (see Figure 11). See
F igure 2 for plugging the power down alarm in.
The alarm can/will be cancelled in one of two ways:
Pressing the re set button on the power down alarm
Restoring the power supply to the system
Fig 11: Power down alarm
3.2 Low Pressure Alarm
The power unit is fitted with a red alarm warning light to identify low
pressure in the mattress. The alarm light will illuminate red if the pressure
within the mattress drops below the minimum level. The alarm light will
automatically reset once normal operating pressure is reached. Note: the
power unit does not have an audible alarm .
False alarms may be no ticed if a patient has a gross position change or is
removed from an inflated mattress. A false alarm will reset itself in a few
minutes and should be ignored.

cl oth is used .
4.3 Cleaning the m attress
Before attempting to clean the mattress the top cover should be checked
for physical signs of damage that may lead to strike - through ( ingress of fluid
through cov er ). This is achieved by unzipping the top cover and l ooking for
signs of staining to the white underside. Any evidence of strike-through will
require a new cover to be fitted to the system. The cover must not be
reused if strike - through is evident .
The mattress cover can be wiped down with a 75° Sodium Hyp ochlorite
solution, (1 000 ppm available chlorine) and then dried with a clean dry
cloth. A lternatively the mattress cover can be machine washed at a
temperature not exceedin g 75 °C and dried either in free air or a tumble
drier on a cool set ting (see F igure 12) .
The cells can be cleaned by deflating the mattress, unzipping the top cover
and wiping down the deflated cells with a 75° C Sodium Hypochlorite
