4.2 Choice of programs
There are two different programs, see section 2.3 for details. We recommend alternating
mode by default.
4.3 Comfort setting
The air pressure in the mattress can be adjusted
according to the patient´s desire for comfort.
consult the prescriber or other authorised personnel for
the appropriate setting.
1. Use the comfort dial to set a suitable air pressure
based on the table on the pump.
2. When the lamp, the symbol , lit the mattress is
ready for use.
NOTE!
 If the head of the bed is being raised, pressure must be increased at least one (1) level.
 When only parts of the mattress are under load, e.g. if the patient is an amputee, the
pressure should be increased 1 or 2 levels.
 Hand check the pressure at all times. Please refer to section 4.4.
 Recommended user weight: up to 150 kg.
4.4 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.
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 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.
