7. Installation and Set-Up
7.1 Setting up mattress
For the comfort and safety of the patient do not put them onto the mattress until you are sure that the
mattress is properly secured and the system indicates that it is fully inflated. The mattress is designed
to completely replace any existing mattress which may be in use on a bed.
Remove any existing mattress and ensure that there are no protruding parts or sharp objects on the
bed which could cause damage to the mattress. Lay the mattress on the bed patient surface ensuring
that the air pipe connector is situated on the bottom left hand side of the bed foot end (as viewed from
the foot of the bed).
Check the Yellow Turn Valves and make sure they are positioned in the non-turn mode.
There are security straps fitted to the base cover of the mattress which should be fastened loosely to
convenient points on the bedframe patient surface.
Caution: Ensure when fixing the mattress to the bed the security straps are only
fitted to the moving parts of the mattress platform. Straps secured to the fixed parts
of the mattress platform will damage the bed/mattress when operated.

Page 12 of 28
Issue 5 –16/12/2020
8.2 Comfort level
The Soft and Firm buttons allow carers to adjust pressures within a safe pre-set range
to provide patients with enhanced comfort or support whilst maintaining a very good
level of protection and therapy. Qualified clinical advice must always be taken before
adjusting mattress pressures.
The required pressure is selected using the Soft and Firm buttons to move the pressure
by one step at a time.
When pressing the Firm button, the output pressure will increase to provide a higher
pressure output and thus increased support.
When pressing the Soft button, the output pressure will be decreased to provider a
lower pressure output and thus increased comfort.
To check if the pressure is adequately supporting the patient, slide one hand between
the air mattress and bed frame to feel under the patient’s bottom. You should be able to
slide the hand in-between and an acceptable range is approximately 25 to 40 mm (1” to
1-1/2”) to ensure the patient Is not bottoming out.
8.3 Auto-detection
Simultaneously pressing the Soft and Firm buttons on the control panel will
activate Auto-Detection. Once activated the indicator will flash and the
system will start detecting and will set the internal pressure for the
appropriately. The indicator light will flash until the patient’s weight and
position has been detected then the light will extinguish. Auto-Detection
sets the internal pressure for the patient so there is no requirement to input
the patient’s weight, the internal pressure setting will vary slightly depending
on BMI. For example if you had two people weighting 65kg one tall and thin
the other shorter and thicker set, the first patient may auto-detect to 50kg
whilst the second to 75kg, this is due the difference in their BMI. The Auto-
Detection will repeat every 2 hours to allow the system to adjust the
pressure according to the patient’s position.
To turn off the Auto-Detection simply press the Soft and Firm buttons
again simultaneously.
8.4 Control panel lockout
If the control panel is not used for a period of 30 seconds it will lock out and inhibit the
use of the functions. Additionally, if you wish to lock out the control panel press the Lock
Out button and all functions will be locked. This is to prevent the system being altered
accidently.
In order to unlock the control panel, simply press and hold the Lock Out button for 3
seconds, the control panel will now be active for use.

8.5 Function mode switch
8.5.1 Alternate
Alternating mode is the default mode for the system. Within this mode the mattress will
operate in an alternating 1-in-2 cell cycle. The alternating cycle will continue at the
selected cycle time until another mode is selected.
8.5.2 Static
Pressing the Function Mode Selection button until the Static indicator illuminates puts
the system into Static mode.
Within this mode the mattress will maintain a selected constant pressure. After 30
minutes the system will automatically revert back to Alternating mode.
8.5.3 Constant low pressure (CLP)
Pressing the Function Mode Selection button until the CLP indicator illuminates puts
the system into Constant Low Pressure (CLP) mode.
Within this mode the cells are not alternating and the internal cell pressure within the
mattress is set at 15mmhg to provide a comfortable static surface.
8.5.4 Turning feature (Alternating Mode only)
Turning the Yellow L& R Turn Valve activates the turning function of the mattress.
Turning the patient right
Opening the Left valve raises the left side for half of the cycle time set for
alternating mode, allowing the patient to be turned to the right.
Turning the patient left
Opening the right valve raises the right side for half of the cycle time set for
alternating mode, allowing the patient to be turned to the left.
The rising of the left or right side commences at the start of the alternating
cycle time. Leaving the valve open results in the turn function being
repeated at the start of the next cycle.
Both valves open is for full lateral turning.
To stop the turning mode, close the turning valves to the flat position.

8.6 Auto-Firm
Auto-Firm mode can be selected by pressing the Auto-Firm button. In this mode all
cells inflate to a single pressure setting to provide a firm and stable surface for nursing
procedures or for patient ingress/egress. The system will automatically return to
Alternating mode at the previously selected comfort level after 20 minutes.
8.7 Alternate cycle time selection
The alternating cycle times can be selected to provide an individualised care program for
each patient.
This mode is also for use for the cycle time of the turning when activated.
Within Alternating mode the alternating cycle time can be selected by pressing the
Cycle button. Selections can be made from 10-30 minutes at 5 minute intervals. The
cycle time will be displayed in the LCD screen.
8.8 Alarm mute
The Alarm Mute button temporarily resets the audible Low Pressure/Power
Failure/Service alarms. Should the situation not be resolved and the fault condition
continues the alarm will resume notifying carer.
9. CPR Mode
CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) can be performed using
the red CPR valve which is situated at the head end on the left
hand side of the mattress.
For rapid deflation gently pull and rotate the dial of the CPR valve
to ‘click’ into the OPEN position. At the same time, disconnect
the air pipe connector from the power unit to speed up the air
release.
If re-inflating the mattress, ensure the dial of the CPR attachment
is rotated until it ‘clicks’ into the CLOSED position.

Page 15 of 28
Issue 5 –16/12/2020
10. Transport Mode
If the patient is being moved on the mattress, or there is a
power cut, general pressure can be maintained in the system
for an adequate period of time whilst disconnected from the
mains.
Simply disconnect air pipe connector and place the connector
cover over it. The air pressures in the mattress will now
equalise, but maintain a degree of comfort. This will maintain
the cells in their present state for approximately 48 hours.
It is important to restore the Heritage II Digital dynamic
replacement mattress as quickly as possible by reconnecting
the supply tubes to the power unit.
11. Alarms & Fault Findings
The Heritage II Digital is equipped with audible and visual alarm indicators. These alert the user to the
