7 8. CONTROL PANEL Leds and buttons: ON/OFF: switch on/ off STATIC/DYNAMIC When switched to STATIC means that static mode has been set When switched to DYNAMIC means that dynamic mode has been set ALARM: system is malfunctioning Comfort: shows the pressure range that has been manually set 9. INSTALLATION - Lay overlay - mattress onto the traditional mattress; air hoses must be at foot side. - Make sure that bed safety sides are high enough for the mattress so as to guarantee patient s safety conditions - Make sure that CPR valve near the head end is shut by pulling the bigger red block firmly without pushing the transparent flap and making sure not to extract the block - Pull out the handle at the back of the compressor and hang the compressor at the foot end of the bed or place it underneath the bed. Make sure that it has been clasped properly or that it is in a stable position. - Do not cover the compressor in order to avoid overheating. - Place the connectors of the three tubes in the sockets at the bottom of the compressor without obstructing them. The order with which tubes are placed is not important. Make sure that tubes are not kinked. - Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet at V AC, 50 Hz User Guide Euro Basic Rev 06 del 11/2011 pag. 7 di 16

8 10. STARTING THE COMPRESSOR - Turn on the compressor by pressing I/O. Make sure that the ON button is lightened. If it is not, look at the procedure described in the trouble-shooting section. - Until the overlay-mattress reaches minimum pre-established pressure, the ALARM led will stay on. Normally, this phase lasts minutes. - Switch to ON the STATIC button. - Turn the regulating pressure button at max, in order to obtain a faster inflation. - When the ALARM led switches off, it is possible to set the function (whether dynamic or static) and inflation regulation that at best suite patient s needs. 11. DYNAMIC AND STATIC MODE In dynamic mode, the compressor inflates two of three consecutive elements alternatively, apart from the three head elements which always remain static. The dynamic cycle is programmed to deflate one of three sections every three minutes, plus 1 minute when all three sections are at the same pressure. The cycle thus lasts 10 minutes. In static mode all elements have the same level of inflation and the same pressure. To switch from dynamic to static, turn ON the STATIC button 12. NURSING For nursing procedure or any situation requiring a hard mattress, we suggest to set the function on STATIC and turn the pressure regulation button to the maximum level. We advise not to use the system with the pressure regulated as above. When nursing procedures are terminated, switch to the dynamic function and set the pressure as per patient s needs. 13. INFLATION ADJUSTMENT In order to choose the best level of inflation, we suggest to use the following hand check procedure (approved by AHCPR - Agency for Health Care Policy and Research): User Guide Euro Basic Rev 06 del 11/2011 pag. 8 di 16

9 - open the side zip which fastens cover and inferior case - slide your hand in between inflatable elements underneath the patient s buttock. - Make sure that there are at least 2.5-4cm between patient s buttock and underlying base. - In case the above mentioned distance: - Increase if distance is less than 2.5 cm - Decrease if distance is more than 4 cm 14. ALARMS Inflation pressure of the mattress is constantly monitored by an internal pressure switch. If alarm activates (EXCLUSION MADE FOR INITIAL INFLATION) we recommend to follow this procedure in order to identify the cause: - check that tubes coming out of the compressor have been plugged in correctly - check that the inflatable elements of the mattress and the lateral distribution band are not broken. - Check that connection hoses are not kinked, twisted or entangled to the bed - check that inflatable elements are clicked into the clutches of the lateral distribution band If the alarm continues, please contact customer service without opening the compressor. Do not perform any action on the compressor. Maintenance has to be carried out only by authorised staff. 15. CPR FUNCTION Euro Basic overlay mattress is provided with a fast deflation function (CPR) in order to allow cardiopulmonary resuscitation to be performed on the patient. The CPR valves are located in the left-hand side of the head end of the mattress. In normal conditions, the CPR valve has to remain closed. To close it, click the three valves of the big red block into plugs present on the red band. Pull gently to verify that the block does not come out. If necessary, before performing CPR, open CPR valve to release air quickly from the mattress. To open it, firmly pull out the big red block, pressing on the transparent tongue.
