Operating Instructions:
The MotionTurn System incorporates rotational therapy techniques to reduce interface
pressures on the skin surface. When the resident is placed on the mattress surface, the
mattress firmness is adjusted automatically after the resident's height and weight are
entered on the display panel. This distributes the body weight uniformly across the
mattress surface.
Installation of the Panacea MotionTurn System
The MotionTurn mattress can be placed on any conventional bed used in hospitals, nursing
homes or a home healthcare bed. You must verify the proper sizing of the mattress and bed
before use. The original bed mattress should be removed and stored in an appropriate place.
The following steps should be completed when installing the system:
1. Roll out mattress onto the bed frame with the air hoses exiting at the foot of the bed
2. Strap the mattress base to the bed frame. Use caution when attaching the straps to
make sure there is no strap damage when the bed position is changed
3. Place the Panacea Motion Turn System Controller on the foot board as close to the
center as possible
4. Make sure the hoses can reach the controller without undue strain
5. Connect the air hoses to the controller
6. Press the hose onto the controller connector until the hose connector clicks
7. Pull back gently on the hose connector to verify the mechanical connection is secure
8. The appropriate connections will be obvious as only certain mattress side connectors
will mate properly with the control unit side ports
9. Examine each of the air cells in the mattress. Make sure each air cell is vertical and not
twisted in the mattress base
10. Verify positive air connections by gently pulling the air manifold and air cell connections
gently apart
11. If the connectors separate, press them back together until a click is heard
12. Loose air cell connectors may prevent the mattress from inflating properly
13. Check the hook-and-loop tabs on the end of each air cell to make sure they are securely
fastened to the mattress base
14. Route the power cord in a safe manner to the closest power outlet and plug in the unit
15. When the unit is powered up, set the control unit mode to Max Inflate mode. This will
fill the mattress more rapidly in preparation for the resident
16. Note the inflation of the air cells. Make sure all air cells are standing up straight and are
not twisted in the mattress base
17. Change the mode from Max Inflate mode to the desired mode of operation
18. Adjust the firmness level for the resident by pressing the Increase/Decrease Firmness
Button. Weights on label are for reference only and are not a substitute for a physical
hand check
