bladders.
It then automatically returns to the default mode:
Comfort Setting “5”, “Alternating Low Pressure” Mode, 10 minute cycle.
Do not place the patient on the mattress while the red indicator light is on during
the initial inflation phase.

the event of emergency deflation.
Placing a cotton sheet on the mattress will improve patient comfort and make it easier
to administer care.
