2. Safety Information

Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical products, especially when children are present. Read all instructions before use.

• Electrical Safety: Ensure the power outlet matches the specified voltage (110V). Do not use extension cords unless absolutely necessary and ensure they are rated for the appliance.
• Water Exposure: Keep the compressor unit away from water or liquids. The mattress is water-resistant, but the compressor is not.
• Ventilation: Ensure the compressor unit has adequate ventilation. Do not block air vents.
• Patient Weight Limit: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 130 kg (286 lbs) for the mattress.
• Sharp Objects: Keep sharp objects away from the mattress to prevent punctures.
• Cleaning: Disconnect the compressor from the power supply before cleaning.
• Medical Advice: This product is intended to aid in pressure ulcer prevention and treatment. Consult a healthcare professional for appropriate patient care.

4. Setup Instructions

1. Prepare the Bed: Place the pneumatic mattress on top of a standard bed mattress. Ensure the mattress is laid flat with the air cells facing upwards.
2. Position the Compressor: Place the compressor unit on a flat, stable surface, either on the floor or hung at the foot of the bed using its integrated hooks (if available). Ensure it is in a location where its air vents are not obstructed.
3. Connect Air Hoses: Connect the two air hoses from the mattress to the air outlets on the compressor unit. Ensure a secure connection.
4. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into the compressor unit, then plug the other end into a grounded 110V electrical outlet.
5. Initial Inflation: Turn on the compressor unit using the power switch. The mattress will begin to inflate. Allow approximately 20-30 minutes for the mattress to fully inflate and for the alternating pressure cycle to stabilize before placing a patient on it.

5. Operating Instructions

The Air Plus system operates on an alternating pressure principle to continuously redistribute pressure points, promoting blood circulation and preventing skin breakdown.

• Power On/Off: Use the main power switch on the compressor unit to turn the system on or off.
• Pressure Adjustment: The compressor unit features a pressure adjustment dial. Turn the dial to increase or decrease the firmness of the mattress. Adjust the pressure according to patient comfort and clinical guidelines. A good starting point is to adjust until a hand placed under the patient's sacrum can feel the alternating pressure without bottoming out.
• Alternating Cycle: The system automatically inflates and deflates alternating air cells in a cycle (typically 10-12 minutes, as per specifications). This continuous movement helps relieve pressure on vulnerable areas.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning the Mattress: Disconnect the mattress from the compressor. Clean the mattress surface with a mild disinfectant solution and a soft cloth. Do not immerse the mattress in water. Allow it to air dry completely before re-connecting or storing.
• Cleaning the Compressor: Wipe the exterior of the compressor unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water. Ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
• Storage: When not in use, deflate the mattress, fold it neatly, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. Store the compressor unit separately.
• Repair Kit: In case of minor punctures, use the provided repair kit. Clean the area around the puncture, apply the patch material, and allow it to dry thoroughly before re-inflating.
