01 97 3. Introduction Thank you for choosing to use the Medstrom Aria Flex Semi-Dynamic Mattress System. The product is a pressure redistributing mattress with an optional control unit intended to reduce the risk of pressure related tissue injuries. The Aria Flex Mattress System features include: •...
The Aria Flex Mattress System, in alternating low-pressure mode, is not suitable for unstable spines. The Aria Flex Mattress System would be indicated for use for patients with unstable spinal injuries when used in the non-powered mode without control unit attached and with standard of care practices for such patients.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, adhere to the following. Failure to do so could result in injury or equipment damage. • Immediately after using the Aria Flex control unit, unplug it from its power source. • Do not place or store the control unit where it can fall or be pulled into a sink or bath.
The Aria Flex Mattress System should be transported in the non-powered mode of operation (i.e. no control unit). 8. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) If the Aria Flex Mattress System is in non-powered mode, no action is necessary as the surface is stable enough to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
9.1. Powered Mode (Control Unit) The Aria Flex Mattress System can be converted to powered therapy with the addition of a control unit. This converts the system into constant immersion (continuous low pressure therapy) or alternating low pressure therapy. 9.1.1.
If the fault cannot be resolved, contact Medstrom Ltd or your medical Engineering Team. 10. Cleaning In order to prevent cross-contamination, the cleaning and disinfection of the entire Aria Flex Mattress System must be carried out between uses with different patients.
