    What to do if my Drive Medical Equipment mattress won't inflate?
    • D
      Daniel Lawrence DDSAug 15, 2025
      If your Drive mattress isn't inflating, first ensure the pump is working by checking if the LED light turns on after powering it on. If not, verify the power cord is plugged into an appropriate voltage AC outlet. Also, ensure the quick connector on the mattress connects well with the pump, and that the T/L connector and air valve are securely connected, and the CPR connector is properly capped. If problems persist, consider whether an air cell may be leaking or whether the air pressure from pump is too low.
