Panacea Convertible Mattress
1. Place the mattress on the bed deck with the sloped heel section at the foot of the
bed. Allow 45 minutes for the mattress to self-inflate.
2. Locate the pressure adjustment connectors under the Velcro flap on the side of the
mattress near the foot end. Insert one end of the connector tube into each connector
by gently pushing them in.
3. After preparing the mattress surface with appropriate linens (not included), place the
resident on the mattress. LINEN NOTE: Deep-pocketed sheets are recommended (not
included). Multiple layering of linens or under pads beneath the resident can negatively
affect the mattress's pressure management capabilities and should be avoided unless
recommended by a caregiver.
4. To soften the mattress for lighter residents simply remove one end of the connector
tube, located under velcro flap, to allow air to exit the system. When the desired
comfort level is achieved, re-insert the end of the tube.
NOTE: Mattress can be used safely with the connector completely removed.
5. Occasional checking may be required to compensate for temperature changes and
other variables.

2. Hang the pump unit on the end of the bed using the hangers, or place on a stable
horizontal surface.
3. Locate the mattress connections on the side of the mattress under the Velcro flap
near the foot of the bed. Insert the connectors at the ends of the air lines into the
corresponding connectors on the side of the mattress. Push in securely until you
hear a "click."

The mattress operation will not be affected by the hose orientation. Ensure the air
lines are not "kinked" or "twisted."
5. Ensure the electrical power switch on the side of the pump is in the OFF position
then plug in the power cord. Change the ON/OFF switch from the OFF position to
the ON position. The POWER ON lamp should now be illuminated.
6. Allow the mattress 10 minutes to inflate fully.
7. After preparing the resident surface, place the resident on the system.
Initially set the PRESSURE CONTROL knob to Low. Increase if necessary for
resident comfort.
