Pressure Adjustment - Stryker IsoAir Manual

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT CHECK:
1. To ensure the patient is getting the proper therapy, periodically use HAND CHECKS to
check for proper inflation.
2. When the mattress is in the Manual Mode a HAND CHECK should be performed to
establish the correct pressure setting. Perform a HAND CHECK whenever the patient is
repositioned.
Underinflated:
3. Slide your hand, palm up, with fingers flat, between the bed surface and the mattress
at the patient's lower back or hip.
NOTE! Do not lean on the product or lift at the side as these actions can lead to false
readings.
Adjust the pressure setpoint until you can no longer feel the patient's lower back or hip.
If you can feel the bony prominence inflate the product using the PRESSURE UP key on
the Pump.
Wait two minutes and repeat the HAND CHECK until you have adequate inflation.
