ARRIVAL OF PRODUCT
BOX 1:

bag, manual
PREPARATION OF AREA
1. Unpack
products
2. Place the Steiss DX550
Alternating Pressure Mattress directly
on
top
of the bed frame and
ensure
that the air hose is at the
foot
of the bed.
CAUTION: When securing the mattress to the bed, please ensure that you are securing onto
the
movable parts of the bed and NOT the actual bed frame, as 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.
3. Hang the Steiss DX550
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.
4. Plug the
pump power
cable
into
the
mains outlet. 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.

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 lying/sitting on the mattress when
it
is initially
being

pressure.
NOTE: ‘MAX’ and ‘STATIC’
modes
are
designed
to
return
to
‘dynamic mode’
after 30
minutes
activation.

4. When the mattress is fully inflated, the mattress is now ready to be used and patient can be placed
on to the air mattress. The pump is designed automatically default to Alternate mode with Automatic
Weight Detection enable. The system will automatically set to an optimum pressure for a patient’s
weight from 30 to 160Kg.
5. The
pump
and
mattress will
then run
continuously
in
‘dynamic
mode’.

MATTRESS CPR VALVE CHECK
After approximately
30-40
minutes
the
mattress should
be
fully inflated.
If the
mattress
is NOT
fully
inflated,
check
that the CPR valve is in the
closed position
and that the
pump
is
connected
to the
mattress
correctly.
"
"
"
"
CAUTION: Please ensure that the PU mattress cover is fully zipped and CPR connection
is
closed properly after
inspection.
CAUTION: During a power cut, pump will stop functioning and the ‘power failure LED’ indicator
may be flashing, and the power failure alarm may be triggered if equipped; this is normal. The
pump will return to its normal operation when power is resumed.
"
MATTRESS COMFORT CHECK
•
•
Re-check the
comfort control setting
on the
pump
unit.
If
required, adjust
the
control setting
to
increase
or decrease the
required firmness
of the
mattress,
using
the
patient’s weight
as an
initial
guideline.
If the
patient
back rest
moves greater
than 30 degrees,
increase
the
pressure
in the
mattress
to
accommodate
the extra load on the
sacral
cells.
•
HAND CHECK
•
To
check whether
the
patient
is
being properly supported, slide
one hand in between the air
mattress
and
the base to
ensure
that they are
not ‘bottoming
out’.
A gap of 2-4 cm /1-2
inches
between the
patient’s bottom
and the bed base is an
acceptable
gap and is an
indication
of the
correct pressure setting.
If
this
is
not
the case, the
pressure
can be
adjusted
accordingly,
using
the
comfort control
dial.

CLEANING OF THE MATTRESS COVER
The
mattress should
be cleaned on the bed
weekly using
a damp,
soft cloth
and
mild
detergent.
NOTE: Do not use a phenol-based cleaning solution as this may reduce the life of the
mattress.
Steiss
has
developed
a
dedicated
wipe to ease the
process for their
clients.
If the
top
PU
cover becomes dirty, unzip top cover from bottom section
and wash.
If the PU
cover
on the
base-foam becomes dirty, unzip top cover from bottom section
and wash.
If the
top cover
or base
cover becomes excessively soiled, put
on
protective
wear and remove the
covers
from
the air
cells
and
tubing.
Place the
soiled covers
in an
appropriate plastic
bag and
consult your supplier
for
advice
on
specialist cleaning.
Then replace
with
clean covers.
If the
covers
are
minimally soiled,
then these can be washed and

Warning: Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to
be
installed according to the EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) information provided.
Careful
consideration of this information is essential when stacking or collocating equipment and when
routing
cables and
accessories.
Warning: RF mobile communications equipment
can effect medical electrical equipment
Caution: During power outage, pump will stop functioning, the POWER LED indicator may be flashing,
and the power failure alarm may be triggered if equipped; this is normal. The pump will return to its
normal operation when power is resumed.

and ‘Very High
Risk’
are
descriptions
of an
individual’s risk
level of
developing
a
pressure
sore.
(Descriptive
Risk
Levels).
These
risk levels
are
assessed
by
nurses
and as there
may be some
variability
between
nurse measurements/observations, descriptive risk levels should only
be used
as a guideline.

Descriptive
Risk
Levels

existing market research
and
internal
study to
show
the
suitability
and
effectiveness
of the

will
always
be
ongoing.

for
good
nursing

be used as part of an
individualised
care plan which
includes proper nursing practices
i.e.
turning/repositioning,
and
regular patient skin
