19

1. Make sure the mattress hose assembly (V) is connected securely to the control unit (A). Also make sure the CPR Tag (CT) connector is securely connected into the mattress manifold on the side of the mattress.

INITIAL POWER UP

2. During initial power up (when power cord

(Q) is plugged into the power source), the control unit (A) will be in “STAND BY” with the amber LED on.

3. If the unit is in stand by mode (SB), press the power switch and set the knob (K) to MAX

FLOW mode (W) the pump will turn on at maximum flow.

4. If the power comes on after a power outage, the control unit will go through its system initialization routine for few seconds and then resume the desired function.

MAX FLOW (W)

5. This mode is used to rapidly inflate the mattress. During this mode a series of beeps will sound every 3 minutes as a reminder that

MAX FLOW mode has been activated. MAX

FLOW mode will be active for 30 minutes, after

30 minutes the air pump will slow down, and if no action is taken the microprocessor will default to the “STATIC or A/P” mode and the patient comfort level to the firm 10 setting.

During the MAX FLOW mode the mattress will not exceed more than 80

± 40 mmHg pressure.

20

6. The mattress (B) will inflate to its normal size in

1 5

≈ 45 minutes. (Inflation time depends on the size of the mattress). Note: Mattress can be rapidly inflated within 2 minutes using an external Rapid Inflator / Deflator Blower Model

# K-39.

7. To set MAX FLOW mode (W) gently turn the knob to the “MAX FLOW” position until the green LED (W) lights up.

STATIC (M)

8. To set STATIC mode (M) press switch to

“STATIC” position, green LED (M) lights up.

DYNAMIC (A/P) Alternating Pressure

10. To set DYNAMIC (ALTERNATING) mode press switch to the “DYNAMIC” position, the green

LED (N) lights up. The fixed A/P cycle time is

10 minutes (custom cycle time can be programmed at the factory).

11. In the A/P (DYNAMIC) mode the odd numbered air cushions in the mattress will be maintain at a constant desired patient comfort pressure, and the even numbered air cushions will deflate from desired patient comfort pressure to below

30% of set pressure in the first half of the

DYNAMIC cycle and visa versa for the second half of the cycle, and continue back and forth.

21

PATIENT COMFORT CONTROL LEVEL (T)

12. The K-0 mattress is designed for patients weighting between 50

≈ 350 lbs. (22 Kg. ≈ 160

Kg.). Turning the comfort control knob (K) towards the SOFT (1) position reduces the pressure setting, turning the knob towards the

FIRM (10) position increases the pressure. The patient comfort pressure ranges from SOFT (1)

6

± 4 mmHg to FIRM 32 ± 6 mmHg. Depending on the desired patient comfort level the microcontroller will increases or decrease the speed of the air pump to provide the appropriate air low into the mattress to maintain the desired pressure in the mattress.

13. Once the mattress is inflated to its normal size with the patient lying on it, set the COMFORT

CONTROL LEVEL knob to the desired patient comfort position. Wait 5 minutes for the mattress pressure to stabilize, verify the appropriate pressure required to support the patient by performing a simple “four finger check”.

Make sure that the patient is lying flat on his or her back in the middle of the mattress. Place four fingers between the air cushions directly

22

underneath the sacral region of the patient’s body. There should be a minimum of 3 to 4 finger width clearance between the bottom of the patient and the safety foam base, (on an overlay there is no safety foam base). Repeat this procedure until the desired patient comfort pressure is achieved.

RECOMMENDED PRESSURE SETTINGS

14. For rapid inflation of the mattress set mode knob to “Max Flow” position by gently turning the knob until “Max Flow” green LED turns on.

15. For extra firm support during Patient ingress / egress, or Patient wound care, or Patient turning, or Patient cleaning it is recommended to set the comfort control knob to the “MAX” flow position.

16. During patient Fowler positioning, or in case of a patient who’s weight to height ratio is above the normal average, it is recommended to set the comfort control knob to 10% more than their actual settings.

MECHANICAL LOCKOUT (OPTIONAL)

17. A Lock Switch is present in the back of the control unit. The control unit settings can be protected from being tamped with, by pressing the lock switch “IN”. To deactivate the lock function gently press the lock switch “OUT”.
