- 450 lbs Weight Capacity: Supports a wide range of patient weights with customizable pressure settings.
- A, B-C Pressure Modes: Innovative modes for humanized inflation/deflation, including a head pillow feature for stable head positioning.
- Quiet Electric Pump: Operates at 30dB, ensuring a peaceful environment.
- LED Display: Provides clear and accurate pressure readings.
- Intelligent Functions: Includes low-pressure alarm and quick deflation for safety and convenience.
- CPR Emergency Rescue Function: Safety valve for rapid deflation in critical situations.
- High-Quality Waterproof Nylon: Skin-friendly, waterproof, and heat-dissipating material for easy cleaning and patient comfort.
4. Setup Instructions
- Prepare the Bed: Place the alternating air pressure mattress directly on top of the existing mattress or bed frame. Ensure the mattress is centered and lies flat.
- Position the Pump: Place the electric pump unit on a flat, stable surface at the foot end of the bed, or hang it securely on the bed frame using the integrated hooks. Ensure it is easily accessible and the air hoses can reach the mattress without kinking.
- Connect Air Hoses: Connect the two air hoses from the mattress to the corresponding air outlets on the pump unit. Ensure a secure connection.
- Connect Power: Plug the pump's power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Initial Inflation: Turn on the pump using the Power On/Off button. The mattress will begin to inflate. Allow approximately 20-30 minutes for the mattress to fully inflate and stabilize before placing a patient on it.

- Power On/Off: Press to turn the pump unit on or off.
- Weight Control: Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the pressure setting based on the patient's weight and comfort. The LED display shows the current pressure in mmHg.
- Sitting Mode: Activates a specific pressure configuration suitable for when the patient is in a sitting position.
- Static Mode: Maintains a constant, non-alternating pressure across the mattress.
- Alarm: Indicates a low-pressure condition.
- Lock: Press and hold for 2 seconds to lock/unlock the control panel to prevent accidental changes.
5.2 Pressure Modes (A, B-C)
The mattress offers advanced pressure modes to optimize patient comfort and pressure redistribution.
Image: Comparison of A, B-C pressure control modes, which maintain head stability, versus a standard ABAB mode that can cause head movement.
- A, B-C Mode: This mode provides alternating inflation and deflation cycles while maintaining stable pressure in the head section (A) to prevent uncomfortable head movement. This is the recommended mode for continuous pressure redistribution.
- Static Mode: For periods when a stable, non-alternating surface is preferred, such as during patient transfers or specific medical procedures.
5.3 CPR Emergency Rescue Function
In an emergency requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), quickly pull the red CPR valve located on the side of the mattress to rapidly deflate the mattress, providing a firm surface for resuscitation efforts.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
The mattress cover is made of high-quality waterproof nylon, making it easy to clean.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump not turning on | Power cord unplugged or damaged; power outlet malfunction. | Check power cord connection. Try a different outlet. Inspect cord for damage. |
| Mattress not inflating or losing air | Air hoses not securely connected; leak in mattress or hoses; pump malfunction. | Ensure all air hose connections are tight. Check mattress and hoses for visible punctures or tears. Use the provided repair kit for small punctures. If the pump is suspected, contact support. |
| Low-pressure alarm sounds | Air leak; patient weight exceeds capacity; pump not maintaining pressure. | Check for leaks. Verify patient weight is within limits. Ensure pressure setting is appropriate. |
| Mattress feels too firm or too soft | Incorrect pressure setting. | Adjust the pressure using the '+' and '-' buttons on the pump unit until desired comfort and therapeutic pressure are achieved. Consult a healthcare professional for optimal settings. |
