Precautions
For your own safety and the safety of the equipment, always take the following
precautions:
• Placing extra layers between the patient and the mattress potentially reduces the
benefits provided by the mattress and should be avoided or kept to a minimum.
As part of sensible pressure area care, it is advisable to avoid wearing clothing
which may cause areas of localised high pressure due to creases, seams, etc.
Placing objects in pockets should be avoided for the same reason.
• Keep the pump away from sources of liquids and do not immerse in water.
• Do not expose the system, especially the mattress, to naked flames, such as
cigarettes, etc.
• Do not store the system in direct sunlight.
• Switch off the mains power supply to the pump, by disconnecting the pump from
the mains socket, before cleaning and inspecting.
• Do not use phenol-based solutions to clean the system.
• Make sure the system is clean and dry prior to use or storage.
• Never use sharp objects or electrically heated under blankets on or under the
system.
• Store the pump and mattress in the protective bags supplied.
• Only the pump and mattress combination as indicated by Huntleigh Healthcare
should be used. The correct function of the product cannot be guaranteed if
incorrect pump and mattress combinations are used.
