ARRIVAL OF PRODUCT
BOX1: Air-Alternating mattress ， pump ， manual
PREPARATION OF AREA
a . Place the Steiss DX860 Alternating Pressure Mattress directly on top of the bed frame
and ensure that the air hose is at the foot of the bed. Secure the mattress using the straps at the
base.
CAUTION: When securing the mattress to the bed, please ensure that you are securing on the
movable parts of the bed and NOT the actual bed
fram e this will obstruct the mechanical
movement and could cause damage to both mattress and bed. The warranty for both the
mattress and the bed may well be invalidated if damage is caused by this means.
NOTE: When the mattress is opened for the first time, please write today’s date (with a non-
Phenol based pen) in the top white box on the PU cover and add in the 'same date' for
the
following three years in the bottom white box. This will remind the care team when the annual
service is due.
b. Hang the Steiss DX860 pump at the foot of the bed. Connect the push-fit hose connector
from the foot of the mattress to the air outlet of the pump.
c. Plug the pump power cable into the mains
outle t. Ensure that electrical cables are safe and tidy, are not
caught in the bed frame and are free from
obstruction. Turn the power on at the mains outlet and turn the
power switch on the pump to the 'ON' position.
CAUTION:It is important to
routinely inspect power cables to ensure they are not obstructed or
causing a tripping hazard. Check the power cable is not under strain or is damaged.
The light will now iII uminate next to 'STANDBY' on the front panel.

INFLATION OF MATTRESS
1. Ensure that the Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) valve of side mattress is closed.
CAUTION:
It is important to ensure that no person/object is Iying/sitting on the mattress when it
is initially being inflated
2. Press the front ON/OFF button to put the pump into 'OPERATION'
The light will illuminate next to OPERATE' on the front
pane l.
During this inflation period:
The 'ALARM' button will automatically iIIuminate as there is 'Iow pressure.'
The audible alarm is set with a delay function to take into consideration the inflation time.
The Pump will automatically be set into
‘ ACTIVE' mode
The light will illuminate next to 'ACTIVE'
3 . Press th e 'MAX' button fo r a fast inflatio n of themattress .
The pump will begin to inflate the air cells in
‘ STATIC' mode with maximum pressure for approximately 30 -4 0
minutes. The low-pressure LED will be displayed until the mattress is properly inflated.
The light will illuminate next to ‘STATIC’.
NOTE:
‘ MAX' and ‘ STATIC' modes are designed to return to ‘ dynamic mode' after 30 minutes
activation.

4 . Whe n the mattress is fully inflate d ， set the correct weight on the comfort control . This control enables you to
adjust the firmness of the mattress . The mattress is ready to be used.
The pump and mattress will then run continuously in 'dynamic mode'
. Th e alternating function will inflate and
deflate the
mattress cells over a 10 minute cycle (default setting).
5. The carer can press the ‘ MODE' button to put the mattress into ‘ STATIC' mode for ease when performing
nursing tasks.
6. The 'alternating
function' can be adjusted to the needs of the patient using the ratio setting' by pressing
the central of the button.

INTENDED USE
The Steiss DX860 is a high specification Alternating Air-Pressure Full Mattress Replacement System and is
designed to prevent and treat pressure ulcers up to grade 4.
The system uses the latest technology in alternating mattress therapy to provide accurate pressure settings for
individual patients’ needs. The 20 cells of the mattress are arranged in a transverse manner to provide extra
protection and comfort for the patient.
Through the use of alternating therapy Steiss
DX860 system works on the principle of actively
the selectable cycles 10,20 and 30 minute. This results in the reduction of surface pressures helping to prevent
tissue breakdown and encourage healing.
For added durability, and longer working life, your Steiss
DX860 mattress has been constructed using high
strength components and premium grade materials. The mattress features a heavy duty base layer and a
100% waterproof, multi-stretch vapor permeable PU cover to reduce risks of friction and shear.
