Operation
General
In order to get maximum comfort and effective pressure relief, please ensure you
read these instructions carefully and operate the product properly.
Do not use any other pump than those designed for each mattress. It can be
dangerous and result in cell punctures.
Do not change any component by yourself. If there is a need for replacement
or repair, contact your local dealer or service centre.
Safety Precautions
Do not place anything on top of the power unit. Make sure the power cord is
underneath the bed frame.
Cover the mattress with a loosely fitting cotton sheet. This allows moisture to
escape efficiently.
Avoid using the Air-Flo mattress near open flames, lighters or cigarettes.
The system should be thoroughly decontaminated after each use to prevent
cross contamination between patients.
Ensure the user’s weight does not exceed the maximum user weight
recommendation of the mattress.
Ensure there are no protruding objects or sharp points under or on the
mattress as they could puncture the air cells.
Hand Check
A hand check should be performed regularly to ensure the pressure is adequately
supporting the patient.
Slide one hand between the air mattress and the foam base (on the Air-Flo 5+) or
between the air mattress and the bed frame (on the Air-Flo 5 and Air-Flo 8) to feel
under the patient’s bottom. An acceptable range to slide the hand in is approximately
25 to 40mm.
