4. OPERATIONS
NOTE: Always read the operating instructions before use.
4.1 PANEL OPERATIONS
1. Pressure Adjustment Knob
The pressure adjustment knob controls the air pressure in the mattress. Turning the knob clockwise
will increase the pressure; counter-clockwise decreases the pressure. Higher pressures will support
heavier patients. The pressure should be adjusted according to individual comfort preferences.
When the mattress is finished pressurizing to the desired level of firmness, the Normal Pressure
LED indicator will illuminate.
NOTE: You can also check if the pressure is suitable for the patient by sliding one hand
beneath the air cells at the level of the patient's buttocks. The air cells will alternately inflate
and deflate. You should feel slight contact with the buttocks when the air cells beneath the
buttocks deflate.
NOTE: Every time the mattress is initiali
zed (inflated), it is recommended that you set the
pressure knob to "Max" to hasten inflation. You can then adjust the air mattress to the desired
firmness later.
2. Normal Pressure Indicator
When the green LED illuminates, the pressure inside of air mattress has reached the desired
pressure setting (preset on the Pressure Adjustment Knob).
3. Low Pressure Indicator
When the mattress is initializing, the Low Pressure LED will illuminate until the appropriate pressure
is reached (according to the Pressure Adjustment Knob); this is normal. Otherwise, the Low
Pressure LED is a warning, indicating that the pressure in mattress is unusually low. Check to
ensure all connections are secured and correctly installed as per the installation instructions.

NOTE: If the pressure level is consistently low, check for any leakage (tubes or air hoses). If
necessary, replace any damaged tubes or hoses or contact your local qualified dealer
for repair.
4. Alternate / Static Switch
The ALTERNATE/STATIC switch selects between Alternate Pressure mode and Static Pressure
mode. With Alternate Pressure mode, alternating air cells are partially deflated and inflated,
avoiding prolonged pressure on any single point beneath the patient; this is to prevent pressure
ulcers. With Static Pressure mode, all of the air cells are equally inflated.
4.2 Emergency CPR Operations
CPR must be performed on a firm surface. Therefore, if an
emergency CPR situation occurs with the patient on the
mattress, the mattress must be quickly deflated. This is
done by quickly pulling on the CPR tag located at the head
of the mattress on the patient’s right-side. The quick
connector found from the pump unit can also be
disconnected to hasten deflation.
5. CLEANING
It is important to follow the cleaning procedures before first-time use with any patient; this is to avoid the
possibility of transmission of pathogens between patients and caregivers.
Wipe down the pump unit with a damp cloth pre-soaked with a mild detergent. Avoid contact with dust
and proximity to dusty areas. Make sure that any cleaning agents you use will not harm or corrode the
plastic casing on the pump unit.
CAUTION: Do not immerse or soak the pump unit in liquids.
Wipe-down the mattress unit with a damp cloth pre-soaked with warm water (do not exceed 65 ℃)
containing a mild detergent. Avoid dust and proximity to dusty areas. The cover may also be cleaned
using sodium hypochlorite diluted in water. All component
s should be air dried thoroughly before use.
CAUTION: Do not use phenolic based products for cleaning.
CAUTION: Do no dry the mattress in direct sunlight.
The carrying bag (if available) should be turned inside-out and completely wiped-down using
disinfectant solutions. Allow it to air-dry thoroughly and then turn it back and wipe down the outside of
the bag with disinfectant solutions.
