When the Steiss™ Universal Therapy System (UTS) is turned on, the pump will start to inate the mattress for
around 30 minutes in alternating mode. During this ination period the ‘AF’ (Auto Firm) will be displayed on LED
window to indicate the mattress is not ready to use.
When ‘MAX’ LED goes off, a bed sheet can be added (NOT tucked under and left to hang free) and a patient can
be placed on the mattress surface and positioned. The audible alarm is disabled during the ination period and will
resume its function when the ‘AF’ LED goes off.
Once the mattress is properly inated, system will go to alternating mode. Press ‘auto’ button to enable auto
detection feature and the system will automatically set to an optimum pressure by patient weight.
The Steiss™ Universal Therapy System (UTS) also allows the care giver a exibility to disable ‘auto’ feature
and switch to manual adjustment, by repeatedly pressing ‘LEVEL’ button to accommodate an individual’s comfort if
needed. Default manual setting will be the level detected during ‘Auto’ mode, or at level 2 if detection is incomplete.
Please note: ‘AUTO FIRM’ and ‘STATIC’ mode is designed to return to ‘ALTERNATE’ mode after
30 minutes of activation.
This Mattress features a cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) valve at patient’s right side at the head end.
In the event of cardiac arrest, turn the CPR valves to the ‘OPEN’ position for fast deation of the air mattress
Turn the dial to OPEN position to release air.
IMPORTANT: please ensure that the care staff are trained and familiarized with the mattress and
this function.
CAUTION: During power failure/ outage, the Steiss™ Universal Therapy System (UTS) will stop
functioning and the PF (power failure) alarm codes will be displayed on LED window with audio
alarm. The pump will return to its normal operations when power is resumed.
The design of the system does allow the safe support of a patient even in the case of a power
failure and loss of air from within the mattress.
In the event of product failure, unless the mattress has been ‘set’ to operate as a standard,
non-powered system or altered to be a ‘step-down’ option, return the product to a service center
for examination and repair.
Turn the dial to
OPEN position
to release air.
Attention: If the airow output varies, becomes unstable or stops erratically, it could be caused from
EMC disturbance or an unstable power socket. Be sure to use the device with a stable power supply
or in connection with UPS and repress the power ON button to activate the air replacement system.
