4.4 Hand check, checking the pressure setting
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.
4.5 Alarm
When the pressure drops to an abnormally low level, the Low Pressure diode lights up
together with an audio alarm. Please refer to section 8 for troubleshooting. The alarm is
deactivated by pressing the ALARM MUTE button on the pump's control panel. If the problem
is not resolved within 5 minutes, the alarm will start again. The diode remains on until the
pressure level is remedied and reset.
The pump is also fitted with a Power Failure alarm. An alarm sounds and flashes when the
pump is disconnected from the electric power. Turn off the alarm by pressing the 'ALARM
MUTE' button.
WARNING!
If the air pressure remains low, check the mattress and tubes for damage. Repair if
necessary or contact the manufacturer or your local dealer for help.

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.
