DIRECTIONS FOR POWERED USE

WEIGHT LEVEL SELECTION
Use the +/- buttons to set according to
the patient's weight. Use the chart on
the front of the pump to select the right
setting.
MODE SELECTION: PRESS BUTTON TO
SELECT "ALTERNATE", "FLOAT", OR
"AUTO FIRM".
"ALTERNATE" MODE:
Creates an "A-B" sequence of inflation
and deflation of the mattress's four air
cylinders designed to change loading
across the surface in a 10-minute
cycle. In this mode, air cylinders 1 and
3 inflate while 2 and 4 deflate. After
approximately 5 minutes, the pattern
reverses.

"FLOAT" (POWERED FLOTATION
THERAPY) MODE:
Suspends cyclical inflation/deflation of
the air cylinders and instead provides
powered flotation therapy. In this mode,
all four air cylinders are evenly inflated,
and the system maintains ideal pressure
management by adjusting in response
to any repositioning of the user on the
surface.
"AUTO FIRM" MODE:
Suspends cyclical inflation/deflation and
sets system to firmest inflation level for
20 minutes to facilitate user transfer,
feeding, dressing changes, and other
activities of daily living (ADLs), and CPR.
After 20 minutes, system will revert to
previous comfort setting and "Alternate"
mode.
POWER FAILURE AND LOW PRESSURE
ALARMS:
AUDIBLE ALARM ON/OFF:
When
indicator light is on, an audible alarm
will sound if either the Low Pressure or
Power Failure indicator light is on. Press
button to silence the alarm. Alarm can
also be toggled off in advance if audible
alarm is not desired for low pressure
conditions.
POWER FAILURE:
During power failure situation or
upon power down, the Power Failure
indicator light will come on and the
audible alarm will sound. Press the mute
button to silence the alarm. (See "Power
Interruption", below.)
LOW PRESSURE:
If "Low Pressure" indicator light comes
on after initial set-up or when moving
mattress or control unit, first check that
all air lines are properly connected and
that they are not kinked. If light is still on
after 30 minutes, call for service.

REMOVING CONTROL UNIT:

To ensure effective non-powered
performance, DO NOT leave the control
unit attached to the OSKA Series6
mattress when powered operation is
no longer desired. Instead, disconnect
the control unit from the air ports at the
mattress. This will allow the air system to
reset to its ideal, non-powered inflation
level.

POWER INTERRUPTION:

The OSKA Series6 is designed to
eliminate concerns related to loss
of power. In the event of a power
interruption during powered use, the
system will maintain a safe level of
patient support. However, to maximise
patient support and comfort during
power interruptions, simply disconnect
the mattress air lines at the control
unit, or at the mattress port. In either
case, the air system in the mattress will
reset to its ideal non-powered inflation
level.

PATIENT TRANSPORT:

The OSKA Series6 is designed to
facilitate patient transport. For transport
when the powered control unit is in use,
simply disconnect the air lines from the
control unit and reconnect when patient
has reached destination. In the non-
powered mode, no action is required.
NOTE: Transport cap is not intended for
use with OSKA Series6
WARNING!
DO NOT MOVE USER ON
MATTRESS ONLY. Mattress
should not be used alone for
user/patient transport.

HEAD-OF-BED ELEVATION:

All support surfaces using air as a
support medium are designed for
distributing pressures over the body
in a flat, horizontal position. Bending
the support surface and the body at
the midpoint when elevating the HOB
concentrates the body weight over
