WARNINGS &
CAUTIONS
READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND OBSERVE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING
•
This pump must be properly installed and operated as directed by this user manual.
•
The pump should be checked regularly to ensure correct operation. Loss of function
will remove all pressure relieving properties.
•
This pump, when connected to a pressure relieving system, is intended for use as part
of a pressure ulcer prevention program; do not rely solely on this device to achieve
the result. The medical professional is responsible for applying best medical judgment
when using this system.
•
Select the correct setting for the occupant's weight and therapy required. Care should
be taken not to accidently change pressures once set as the effectiveness of the
therapy may be reduced.
•
All hoses must be free of kinks, twists and must be properly connected and positioned
so as not to cause any obstruction.
•
Do not position the pump in a way that prevents access to the disconnection device
(mains power plug).
•
Ensure the mains lead or pump cannot become trapped or crushed, e.g. by raising or
lowering of bed or bed rails or any other moving object.
•
Check the mains lead is damage free and positioned so as not to cause an
obstruction or injury e.g. strangulation or trip hazard.
•
Ensure that the electricity supply is of the type stated on the pump unit.
•
Do not place pump on or near a heat source or cover with bedding.
•
Harvest Healthcare advise against smoking whilst the system is in use to prevent the
accidental ignition of associated items which may be flammable, such as bed linen.
We advise a risk assessment is carried out before using any medical equipment to
protect the user and service user.
