6.1 Low / High Settings

The Dyna-Form Mercury Advance Mattress, in Alternating Mode, has two pressure settings. The

initial setting that the control unit will revert to upon set up is "Low". The "Low" comfort setting

is ideal for the lighter patient or those who feel discomfort when on a normal alternating air type

mattresses system. However, for patients with existing pressure damage or those at Very High

Risk, it is recommended that dependant on the clinical judgement of the clinician,

the "High" setting is activated by pressing the +/- button once, which is located on top of the

Control Unit.

In "High" Mode the Control Unit attains more of the characteristics of an alternating air mattress

system whilst still utilising the advantages of the static foam inserts. Repeatedly pressing the

'mode' button enables the Low & High modes to be selected in turn.

6.2 CPR Deflation

The CPR system consists of a manually operated button located on the Air Inlet connector

attached to the Control Unit. By pressing the Red Button, which will release the connector locking

system, the user can remove the connector unit which will deflate the mattress air system back to

that of a static foam mattress.

Note: After a short period as the Mattress deflates the 'Low Pressure' Audible Warning is

activated and can be cancelled by switching the Control Unit off.

8. Transportation

To change the location of the mattress, remove the Umbilical Cord and allow the mattress to return to its Static Mattress form.

Switch off the Control Unit using the on/off switch and disconnect the electrical supply cable from the mains socket. The mattress

can now be moved to a new location where it must immediately be reconnected to the mains electrical supply and the Control Unit

switched back on. Once the Mattress has been refilled, the 'Alternating' mode will automatically revert back to the Low setting and

should be reselected to High should this be desired by the clinician.

Warning: The Mattress will not ' a lternate' when disconnected from Control Unit and /or the mains electrical. Also, refer to environmental

conditions section at rear of this manual.
