Comfort settings
The air pressure in the mattress can be adjusted according to the user's comfort preference.
Always consult the prescriber or other authorised personnel for the appropriate setting.
Appropriate air pressure is selected using the knob (0–250 kg). The numbered scale guides
your selection. For sitting positions, we recommend that the pressure be raised by +25 kg.
Check using the hand check (see section 3.3).
Note!
• When the head end of the bed is raised, the pressure should be increased by 25 kg.
• When only part of the mattress is under load, e.g. for amputee users, the pressure
should be increased (by 1–2 steps). Then perform a hand check (see section 3.3).

Hand check (function control)
Hand check is performed to ensure that the mattress
system works properly and to ensure that the weight
setting is correct. Hand check should be performed
regularly; for S.A.M Pro, we recommend once per work
shift or every 8 hours, as well as after installation of the
system.
For manual systems hand check should also be
performed when moving from lying to seating position in
bed, in case of positioning changes and when changing
the comfort setting (and/or the weight setting).
