Operation
Transport Function
The specialised HeelCair zone enables the seven
narrow alternating air cells in the heel zone to be
disconnected, to remove all pressure on a patient’s
heels without interruption to mattress alternation.
To disconnect each of the seven heel zone cells,
unzip the top cover and locate the top air hose
connector of each heel cell. Press the grey tab and
remove the male connector from the air supply
line. A one-way air valve will protect the rest of
the system from defl ation and the heel cell will
immediate defl ate.
Do not disconnect the lower air hose
connector in the heel cells, or other air
connectors in the mattress or cell infl ation/
alternation may be disrupted.
Bed Exit Alarm
When activated this feature constantly
monitors for patient presence and signals to
indicate the patient has left the mattress.
To activate the CairAlert function, lay patient on
the mattress and press Bed Exit – indicator glows
green to confi rm function is active. If the patient
leaves the mattress, an audible alarm sounds and
the ‘bE’ error code displays on the Alarm Code
panel. To reset, press Alarm Mute and return patient
to the mattress. The alarm will reset once patient
weight is detected.
To deactivate
Press Bed Exit (green indicator stops glowing to
confi rm the function is no longer active).
Back Up Battery Function
The inbuilt Back Up Battery will power the system
for up to 5 hours continuous operation.
To prepare for patient transport in Alternating
mode, remove the power cord without switching off
the control unit. Back Up battery will activate.
When the battery reaches 10% an alarm will sound
and the system will need to be reconnected to
mains power to remain operational.
Once mains power is reconnected the battery will
be recharged. The rate of charge varies depending
on whether the control unit is operation and the level
of remaining charge.
The control unit can only be turned on with
a mains power connection, regardless of
battery charge level. If power to the control
unit is turned off when backup battery is
operational, the system requires mains power
to turn on again.
During long term storage, it is recommended
that the battery level is checked every 6
months, and recharged if necessary.
Transport Function
To prepare for patient transport, press
the Max Infl ate button and wait 12
minutes to ensure all cells are fully
infl ated.
