General Guidelines for Use:

This product is designed to provide patients with advanced pressure redistribution, used commonly in either the prevention and/or treatment of Stage I-IV ulcers. Make certain to operate this product in a proper way to optimize its value. General information for users to be aware of include:

For products:

DO NOT use another pump with different specifications. It is dangerous to use a pump with a pressure capacity greater than 120mmHg. This may result in air cell failures. DO NOT change any component by yourself. If there is a need for replacement or repair, please contact American Medical Equipment.

For patients:

When the Normal Pressure LED (green) comes on to indicate the pressure is adjusted to a desired firmness, the patient can then lie on the mattress. Please cover the mattress with a cotton sheet to avoid direct skin contact and for the patients comfort (not included). A firm surface will make it easier for the patient to transfer or reposition. Make use of the static mode function. It can support the patient by keeping the mattress from bottoming out when the patient is in a sitting position. See figure right.

Hand Check:

Check to see if a suitable pressure is selected by sliding on hand between the air mattress and foam base (or bed frame if there is no foam base) to feel the patient's buttock. Users should be able to feel the space in between, and the acceptable range is approximately 25 to 40 mm (1" to 1.5"). This hand check procedure is issued by AHCPR.

Step 1 - Turn on the power. The power and Low Pressure LED will come on. The control unit starts to pump air into the mattress. The alarm will beep and it's LED will come on to alert that pressure is low. Press the Alarm Reset button to mute the alarm, and it's LED will continue to flash.

Step 2 - When the pressure reaches the preset level by factory default, the normal pressure LED will come on, and the Low Pressure LED (and the alarm) will turn off. If the Low Pressure LED (and the alarm) doesn't go off, please contact American Medical Equipment for equipment examination. Note: During normal operation, there may be a leakage when the Low Pressure LED comes on or the alarm sounds. Please refer to the troubleshooting section.

Step 3 - Turn the pressure-selector knob to adjust the pressure from the soft to firm position. (approximate pressure range is 20 to 50 mmHg) Note: For suitable pressure, please refer to the previously described hand check procedure.

Step 4 - The unit is preset in alternating mode and it's cycle time is set at 10 min / 60Hz or 12min / 50Hz Press the static button to set it in static mode, and the Static LED will come on. The pump will enter static mode after it completes the last alternating cycle time. Press the static button again to restart the alternating function. Note: Press the static mode button from the touch panel to provide a firm surface that makes it easier for the patient to transfer or reposition. The static mode can support the patient by keeping the mattress from bottoming out when the patient is in the sitting position.

Step 1 - Turn on the power. A beep sound will begin the operation.

Step 2 - These two types will enter a static mode initially when the power is turned on. First it will inflate the mattress to approximately 30mmHg and then enter the alternating mode. �� If 30 mmHg cannot be reached within 30 minutes, the unit will stay in static mode and keep inflating. If 30mmHg still cannot be reached within another 15 minutes, the alarm will beep and it's LED will come on. �� Press the Alarm Reset button to mute the alarm. The Alarm LED will flash. Press the Alarm Reset button again to have the audible alarm and Alarm LED on again.

Step 3 - The alternating cycle time and the pressure level are present to the middle settings. Select from the touch panel to adjust the cycle time and pressure level. �� Press the static button to set it in static mode, and the static LED will come on. The pump will enter static mode after it completes the last alternating cycle time. Press the Static Button again to restart the alternating function. �� Note: Press the static mode button from the touch panel to provide a firm surface that makes it easier for the patient to transfer or reposition. The static mode can support the patient by keeping the mattress from bottoming out when the patient is in the sitting position.

Step 4 - During normal operation, the unit will monitor pressure. If the pressure is lower than a set pressure, the controller will automatically inflate the mattress to the set pressure level and then stop. The alarm will beep and it's LED will come on to alert a low pressure condition. �� Press the Alarm Reset button to mute the alarm. The Alarm LED will flash. Press the Alarm Reset button again to have the audible alarm and Alarm LED on again.

Step 5 - Press the Auto Firm button to automatically inflate the mattress to the maximum level (above 70mmHg) for about 30 minutes. The pressure will return to a previously set level after 30 minutes. �� In case there is a bad connection of tubing or any air leakage from the mattress, this will result in a low pressure condition, and it will activate the alarm. Note: For suitable pressure, please refer to the described hand check procedure
