7. Emergency Mechanical CPR Function
(Optional Accessory)
The mattress platform can be levelled by pulling a handle found at the foot end of the
cot. There is one lever to activate the foot end and another for the head end, found to
either side of the shelf.
Note: The foot end is signified by the end with the shelf and the head end
by the drip pole sockets
i) CPR Operation
To operate the mechanical cpr, pull the lever that is applicable to the raised end of the
mattress platform. If the foot end is raised the cpr handle that states ‘cpr – foot’ must
be pulled and vice versa for the handle that states ‘cpr – head’. If there is any doubt
as to which handle should be pulled it is advised that both handles be
pulled at the same time.
Note: The CPR function only flattens the mattress platform.
ii) Resetting the CPR
Once the CPR has been activated the system must be reset. If it is not reset the
mattress platform will fail to operate correctly. Depending on which end has
been activated the head/foot end tilt ‘down’ button must be pressed for 25 seconds to
reset the system. If the foot end cpr lever has been pulled, the foot end down button
must be held down for 25 seconds and if the head end lever is activated the head
end down button should be pressed. When the system has reset, the handle will
drop back to its original position and the mattress platform is ready for use again.
WARNING
When operating the manual CPR function ensure that all limbs/hands
and equipment are clear in order to prevent trapping or injury.
Ensure the correct handle is pulled, if unsure pull both.
Following CPR activation, if the system is not reset the mattress platform
will not operate correctly.
