Installation
Nimbus 3 & Nimbus 3 Professional Mattress Replacement (MR)
Place the MR directly onto the bed base, with the tubeset and
CPR located at the foot end of the bed.
Attach the MR to the bed frame using the hook
and loop securing straps.
If the bed has divided sections for independent
elevation of a patient's head and/or knees, attach the
mattress to the movable parts of the bed frame only.
To complete mattress installation
Zip the protective cover over the mattress. Make sure that the
ArjoHuntleigh logo is uppermost and at the foot end of the mattress.
Check that the transport control is set to Normal and the CPR
control is closed and locked in position.
Make sure that the mains power cable and tubeset are positioned
to avoid causing a trip or other hazard, and are clear of
moving bed mechanisms or other possible entrapment areas.
The CPR control must be visible and accessible at all times.
If the pump is to be hung from
the end of the bed, attach the
bed bracket to the bed frame.
Alternatively the pump can be
placed underneath the bed, either
upright or lying on its back.
Make sure the tubeset is securely connected to the pump and
the mattress.

SAFETY SIDES
Regarding the use of safety sides, always refer to your local
trust policy AND the product instructions for use.
Quick Start
When the Nimbus 3 pump is switched on using the Power switch,
the pump will run a self diagnostic check for approximately 3 seconds
during which all indicators will be illuminated.
The Wait and Low Pressure indicators will remain illuminated
while the mattress inflates. Allow approximately 15 minutes for the
mattress to inflate fully.
Warning: Do not place the patient on the mattress until it is
fully inflated and normal operating pressure has
been reached.
Once the mattress is fully inflated, the Wait and Low Pressure
indicators will extinguish. Place a bed sheet over the mattress and
tuck in loosely.
Once the patient is on the mattress, the pump will automatically
sense and adjust the pressure in the cells to support the patient.
