CPR
CPR deflation can be done by twisting the CPR valve.
The therapy mattress will deflate rapidly (deflation time
varies depending on patient weight and profile).
For V-Matt Therapy Mattress Models Only: For
quick CPR deflation, locate the red CPR flag and
twist the valve lightly. The mattress will rapidly deflate.
Note: The safety cell will remain inflated.
Battery Back-up
A sealed 12 VDC rechargeable battery automatically
provides all necessary power to the system when
normal AC source is removed or fails for approximately
12 hours. The Dolphin FIS System will continue to
provide therapy. This allows a patient to be moved
freely without the AC cord being attached to an outlet.
When reconnected to an AC source or power is
restored, the AC section of the system automatically
re-initializes and the battery is recharged.
Note: The Storage Switch must be in the Battery On
position to recharge.
Transport
To transport the patient in bed, unplug the power cord
from the main power outlet. Store the power cord in
the space provided under the unit to avoid damaging
the cord during transport. The battery back-up will
provide power for continued therapy mattress system
operation for approximately 12 hours.
Keyboard Functions
Warning: For important precautions, see page two.
Caution: The patient's head should be positioned in
the center of the top section of the therapy mattress.
When using the therapy mattress system, always
ensure that the patient is positioned properly within
the confines of the bed. Do not let any extremities
protrude over the side or between the bed rails when
the therapy mattress is being used. Joerns bed
frames and therapy mattresses adhere to the FDA
recommended guidelines for entrapment zones.
Caution: For pediatric use, the patient should be
positioned in the center of the therapy mattress with
the length of the body parallel to the length of the
mattress.
