Patient Care Functions
Placing the Patient on the Mattress Surface
Place the patient on the mattress surface from a bed or stretcher with a transfer device. The
mattress should be set in the Auto Firm mode. In order to ensure proper immersion and
envelopment of the patient, the user should:
1. Position patient on surface in center of bed.
2. Initialize soft/firm settings on the Control Unit/Blower.
3. Wait a moment to allow internal sensors to activate pressure redistribution. Generally,
depending on patient body makeup, initial pressure redistribution is complete in
approximately 2-3 minutes.
4. Elevate the head of the bed to at least 30 degrees.
5. Unzip the mattress and visually inspect the height of the cells for sufficient inflation.
There should be several inches between the patient and the frame of the bed. Adjust the
air flow accordingly. Ask the patient if they can feel the bed frame beneath them. If yes,
add air incrementally. Repeat until patient no longer feels the frame beneath them.
6. If the patient cannot reply verbally, unzip the mattress and visually inspect the height of
the cells for sufficient air inflation. There should be several inches between the patient
and the frame of the bed. Adjust the air flow accordingly.
7. CPR: The standards for life support recommended by the American Heart Association for
performing CardioPulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) recommend a hard level surface for
performing CPR, moving the person to the floor if possible. For performing CPR, place
the CPR board, lower the head of the bed, position the patient on their back and follow
standard CPR procedures of the facility.
In some cases, the mattress may include an auto-fowler feature. This means that when the head
of the bed is greater than 30 degrees, the mattress will automatically increase the amount of air to
the sacral area.
Positioning the Patient
When moving a patient the Control Unit/Blower should be in the Auto Firm Mode.
To reposition the patient, change the Control Unit/Blower to Auto Firm Mode. This makes the
mattress surface firm and facilitates the repositioning of the patient with less strain on the care
provider. When the patient has been repositioned, press auto firm to return to the previous
setting.
NOTE: DO NOT leave a patient unattended on the mattress surface with the safety side rails in
the down position. When leaving a patient, secure the safety side rails in the up position. Make
sure the safety side rails are high enough to properly protect the patient when the mattress is fully
inflated, while continuing to be mindful of the FDA guidelines on bed rail entrapment.
Backrest Up or Fowler Position
When the patient’s backrest is elevated, it may be necessary to manually increase the mattress
firmness to compensate for the additional weight placed in the center portion of the mattress.

14
Observe the patient for a short time after raising the backrest to make sure the buttocks and thigh
areas are not “bottomed-out”.
Prone Position
DO NOT leave a prone patient on the mattress surface. If the patient is unable to move without
help, the patient’s airway may be compromised. If the patient is to be kept prone for an extended
period of time, consult a Sunflower representative for assistance.
Bedpan Placement & Removal
Position the patient’s hips over the center of the mattress. Using Static Mode, lower the pressure
setting with the Firm/Soft button. Turn the patient into the side-lying position and place the
bedpan.
The pressure in the center section of the mattress will lower to make inserting the bedpan easier.
The firmness setting may be adjusted to increase the firmness of the center section after the pan
is placed in position.
When the bedpan is to be removed, logroll the patient off the bedpan and remove it. Readjust the
firmness level to the appropriate setting. Select Static mode and wait for the mattress to
completely re-inflate. Re-position patient as appropriate.
Removing the Patient from the Mattress Surface
If the patient is to be removed with a transfer lift, set the Control Unit/Blower into Auto Firm
mode. Allow the mattress to firm and position the patient into the lift. When the patient has
exited the bed, the controller can be turned off.
If the patient can sit up and is mobile, lower the firmness level to the lowest setting and wait for
the mattress to soften in the middle. The patient can sit up and the mattress will conform to the
body making a more stable platform for patient egress. When the patient has exited the bed, the
controller can be turned off.

Mattress Cleaning Instructions
WARNING and CAUTION:
It is recommended that gloves and protective clothing be worn at all times during
cleaning and disinfecting.
DO NOT autoclave.
NOTE: Improper cleaning, rinsing or the incorrect use of cleaning agents can lead to premature
fabric discoloration and breakdown of the fabric’s fluid-resistance, stain-resistance and fabric
strength. Properly rinsing all cleaning agents and disinfecting chemicals is a critical step in
extending the life of covers on medical mattresses and support surfaces.
Over time, cleaning solutions may cause damage to the integrity of the fabrics used for support
surfaces. Cleaning agents that are strong enough to be efficacious cleaners and disinfectants may
cause degradation of the same fabrics on which they are being used.
To minimize the negative impact of cleaning agents:
Contact time must be monitored and kept to the required time identified on the
manufacturer’s instructions.
All cleaning solutions must be diluted in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
All covers must be rinsed after every cleaning cycle. Rinsing of the support surface
covers with clean water as the immediate step after the disinfection process is
fundamental to extending the usable life of the covers.
NOTE: Only the outer cover of the mattress requires cleaning and maintenance. Disassembly
of the support surface for maintenance of internal components is not recommended. DO NOT
use harsh solvents or cleaners. Special care should be used to not puncture the mattress with
needles or sharp instruments. This may result in loss of integrity of the mattress cover or internal
components.
Recommended EPA Registered Disinfectants:
Wex-Cide 128 (Wexford Labs), EPA Reg. #34810-31
Equipment must be disinfected using an EPA registered, hospital-grade disinfectant, according to
the manufacturer’s recommendations for use.
Recommended Stain Remover(s):
