Directions For Set-Up And Use - SPAN PressureGuard APM Owner's Manual

PRESSUREGUARD APM WITH 5500 CONTROL UNIT
1. Place the PressureGuard
foot end of the bed. The mattress has a gray vinyl side that should be down on the bed
frame, and a green or silver fabric side that should be face up toward the patient.
Confirm that the bed frame is appropriate for use with the mattress, and that the
length and width of the mattress are appropriate for the frame. Place directly on a
healthcare bedframe only, never on top of another mattress.
WARNING: The fit of the mattress to the bed frame is important. Minimizing
spaces or gaps between the mattress and frame will help prevent patient
entrapment issues
AVERTISSEMENT : Il est important que le matelas corresponde au cadre de lit. Minimiser
les espaces et les écarts entre le matelas et le cadre de lit évitera le risque de piégeage du
patient.
2. Hang the control unit on the foot board
at the end of the bed using fold-out
hangers (Figure A). Connect airlines to
control unit by pressing quick connector
into port on the side of unit. "Triangle"
symbol should face front. (Figure B)
Audible "click" indicates secure
connection.
Note: If desired, hanger lock strip (included,
item # P10064, Fig. C) can be used to help hold control unit more snugly in place on thin
footboards such as those often found on home health care beds. To use, place the strip in
position around the hanger hooks as shown in Figure D.
3. Connect the ends of the air lines with two right angle male
connectors (Figure E) to the ports on the side of the
mattress. Ports are located beneath a fabric flap near the right
front corner of the mattress. Ensure that the airlines are not
kinked or twisted. Press connectors into ports until you hear
an audible "click" for each. Press flap closed.
