Operation
Checking pressure setting by hand
Check the pressure setting by hand to make sure that the patient receives the proper therapy.
Perform a hand check with the patient in the worst case position, which is the side-lying position.
This position maximizes the pressure at the sacrum.
Figure 1: Under inflation Figure 2: Proper inflation
1. Slide your hand, palm up with fingers flat, between the product and the mattress at the
patient’s sacrum.
Notes:
• Do not lean on the product or lift at the side as these actions can lead to false readings.
• Adjust the pressure setpoint until you can no longer feel the patient’s sacrum.
2. If you can feel the bony prominence (Figure 1), inflate the product.
3. Increase the pressure up to 3mmHg by pressing the firmness button on the pump.
4. Wait two minutes and repeat the hand check until you have adequate inflation
(Figure 2).
Note: Check the patient at regular intervals as directed by hospital protocol.
