3.4 Hand check
Hand check is used to ensure that the mattress is properly
inflated. This should be done regularly, once per shift, after
changing the position in the bed or changing the comfort settings.
Open the cover. Place a flat hand under the air cells directly
underneath the user's pelvic region and make sure that the user
does not lay directly on the underlying mattress. There should be
about 1-2 fingers margin.
If you can feel the user´s body resting on your hand you need to increase the comfort settings
to next highest step. Wait 10 minutes and perform a new hand check.
3.5 CPR
In case of an emergency where CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is
necessary: Rapidly pull the CPR band on the tubes between the pump
and the mattress. Remove the tube connections on the side of the pump,
for even faster deflation.
Note! Make sure that the CPR connector is properly connected after use.
3.6 Low pressure
By an abnormally low air pressure, see chapter 7 for trouble shooting.
3.7 Transport function
If quick connection and the patient must be moved in bed, the tubes can be connected
together (detached from the pump) and the mattress put in "transport mode". We
recommend using this mode only for short periods of time.
WARNING!
If the air pressure remains low, search for damages on the mattress and the tubes. Repair
when needed or contact the supplier.
