1. Place control unit on flat surface or suspend control unit on end of bed using attached hooks. See Fig-
ure 2 and Figure 3. Remove the plug to disconnect the device. Do not position the equipment so that it
is difficult to operate the disconnecting device.
2. Position the mattress on bed frame.
3. Connect the hose assembly between the mattress air cell and the control unit. Connect the adaptor
from control unit onto the air valve.
4. Plug the power cord and Maxfirm/Seat mode will be inflated automatically. The unit will take approxi-
mately 40 minutes to inflate the mattress. Nurse can adjust the comfort level or mode with the patient
on the initial stage.
5. After installation, make sure the flap is not folding upwards to avoid fluid seeping through mattress
cover.
nOTE
Make sure the control unit is suitable for the local power voltage and frequency.
6. Position patient on the mattress.
7. A Hand Check must be performed every 8 hours to verify proper operation of the device. See Figure 6.
8. To perform the Hand Check:
With the patient on his or her back, slide hand, flat and palm up, between the overlay and the mattress.
Hand should be directly under the air cell that is under the patient's buttocks (or other bony area). See
Figure 6.
Wait for full inflation of the air cell directly above hand. If the patient's body is not in direct contact with hand,
the system is operating correctly. If, during full inflation of air cell, the patient's body is in direct contact with
flat hand, the system is not operating properly. Adjust the pressure control to a higher setting. Wait 10 minutes
and repeat the Hand Check. If the Hand Check fails, check that the hoses are not kinked or pinched. If
repeated Hand Check fails and hoses are not kinked, contact Stryker for further instruction.
Warning
Deflate before CPR or CPR could be ineffective.
To deflate mattress for CPR:
When there is an emergency to perform CPR on the patient, quickly pull the CPR strap from the mattress
to release air. The quick connector on the pump unit can be disconnected for even faster deflation. The
air cell will deflate in approximately 15 seconds. Proceed with CPR procedures.
Resetting CPR:
After CPR, re-plug CPR and make sure the CPR plug is fixed on the mattress.
