English

Setup

Warning: For important precautions, see page two.
Caution: Do not place the control unit on the floor.
Position the power cord to keep personnel from
tripping over it.
1. Remove the existing mattress from the bed.
2. Place the P.R.O. Matt
®
at the foot end of the bed.
3. Allow the mattress to sit for five to ten minutes
so that the P.R.O. Technology
the pressure in any internal cells that may have
deflated during storage or shipment.
4. Place the patient on the mattress.
5. Connect the control unit if powered therapy is
preferred. Set the preferred mode of operation and
comfort setting.
6. It is recommended that you periodically remove
the patient from the mattress for five to ten
minutes so the P.R.O. Technology valve can
re-inflate cells that have lost air through natural
diffusion.
7. If the therapy is changed from powered to
non-powered mode, be sure to disconnect the
hoses from the mattress connection so that the
non-powered mode can function properly.

Operation

Warning: For important precautions, see page two.
Warning: The patient's head should be positioned in
the center of the top section of the mattress. When
using the mattress system always ensure that the
patient is positioned properly within the confines of the
bed. Do not let any extremities protrude over the side
or between the bed rails when the mattress is being
used.

Non-Powered Mode

The P.R.O. Matt Plus in its non-powered mode is a
dynamic pressure redistribution mattress replacement
system consisting of four zones: the head, shoulder,
torso, and foot. The head zone remains static and
the shoulder, torso, and foot zones are connected
to the P.R.O. Technology valve that allows air to
automatically be drawn into the cells in order to
provide the optimal amount of support throughout
each zone.
Based on the average patient's body weight
distribution, the volume of air in each of these zones
was developed to provide the precise amount of
air/foam mix to ensure optimal clinical outcomes with
average pressure readings well below capillary closure
levels.
Over a period of time the air in the therapy cells will
naturally diffuse and the cells will deflate when a
patient is lying on the mattress. The P.R.O. Technology
requires regular opportunities to recalibrate the
therapy cells, as the air in the cells will naturally diffuse
over time and the cells will deflate as the patient
lies on the mattress. Time off the mattress, such as
that during normal activities of daily living, as well as
standard patient turning and repositioning schedules
and protocols, allows the system to fully engage the
P.R.O. Technology to recalibrate the air in the therapy
cells.
