Transportation

With Optional Pump
1. Disconnect the hose from the pump and quickly place the cap over the end of the
hose to prevent air loss.
2. Check the fit of the cap for leaks.
3. Remove pump from bed/footboard.
You may now transport the resident while in bed. A properly sealed mattress will
continue to support a resident for approximately one hour without power. It is not
possible to provide an exact time because it is dependent upon the resident's weight.
Re-attach the pump as soon as possible to restore mattress performance.
•
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to use the mattress as a carrying device, as it is
not designed to carry a resident's weight unsupported.
Without Optional Pump
You may transport the resident while in bed at any time provided proper surrounding
conditions are safe and cleared for moving.
•
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to use the mattress as a carrying device as it is not
designed to carry a resident's weight unsupported.

CPR

The standards for life support recommended by the American Heart Association for
performing CPR recommend a hard level surface for performing CPR, moving the person
to the floor if possible. If unable to move the resident to another surface to perform CPR,
place a crash board underneath the resident and follow appropriate CPR procedures.
To deflate the mattress for CPR function in either powered or non-powered operation,
disconnect the hoses from the mattress by pressing the quick release buttons on the
hose connections and pull firmly. The connections are located at the side of the foot end
of the mattress under the Velcro flap.
In case of emergency, use a scissors or knife to cut the hose and/or the air cushions in
the mattress.
