Turn the power ON

A BEEP sound will begin the operation. The indicator (green) of the power switch will light up,

and the pump starts to pump air into the mattress. The LOW PRESSURE indicator (red) will

flicker as the inflation of the mattress undergoes.

NOTE!!

The audible alarm would not be heard when inflating up the mattress for the first time.

Automatic STATIC mode

The pump will automatically enter STATIC when it is turned on, and will return to the previous

conditions when it was shut down last time once the pressure reaches 20 mmHg.

NOTE!!

If the pressure does not reach 20 mmHg 40 minutes after the pump is turned on, the audible

alarm will start to beep, and the LOW PRESSURE indicator will continue flickering.

Mode selection

Press the STATIC / ALTERNATING switch to change the function mode from ALTERNATING to

STATIC and vice versa.

NOTE!!

It is recommended to always keep the pump in the ALTERNATING mode when the patient is in

a lying position for more efficient pressure ulcer prevention and treatment.

The pump will automatically return to ALTERNATING mode 2 hours after switching to the

STATIC mode.

NOTE!!

The STATIC mode provides an even support that will make the patient transfer or reposition

easier. The STATIC mode also prevents the patient from bottoming out when in the seating

position.

Pressure adjustment

The pressure of the mattress can be set by pressing the PRESSURE SELECTION keys.

There are totally 8 different pressure levels selectable ranging from 20 to 60 mmHg.

NOTE!!

Pressing the [+] key will bring the pressure one level higher, and the [-] key will bring the pressure

one level lower.

It is recommended to follow the HAND CHECK procedure as demonstrated on page 9 to decide

the appropriate pressure level.

Automatic pressure control

During normal operation, the pump will monitor pressure changes and keep it

constant at the set level. When the pressure is below the set pressure level, the pump will

automatically start to inflate the mattress. The pump will stop when the set pressure level is

reached.

NOTE!!

If the pressure is consistently low, the audible alarm will beep and its indicator will light up to

attract attention.

If there should be obvious leakage, for example caused by loose connection of tubes, the

audible/visible alarm will be activated.

For nursing and caring convenience

Press the AUTOFIRM switch to automatically inflate the mattress to the maximum level (above

70 mmHg) for about 30 minutes. The pump will return to the previous pressure level 30

minutes later.

Placing the patient in the seating position

Press the SEAT switch to for the even support and 10mmHg higher pressure to prevent the

patient from bottoming out when placing the patient in the seating position for feeding or other

applications.
