5.7 Transporting a patient on the mattress
1. Before patient transport, press the Static Mode button
(Button E on control unit) and wait at least 12 minutes
for cells to inflate to maximum pressure.
If a quicker response is required (up to 5-10
minutes) then the Max Firm button (button D
on control unit) can be used.
2. Once mattress pressure has reached maximum inflation,
press the Power button (button A on control unit) to
switch off the control unit. Switch off mains supply and
unplug the power cord.
3. Remove the connector from the control unit and allow
air to escape for a few seconds before inserting the
transport cap into the connector air outlets to seal the
system. This release softens the mattress surface for
pressure relief and comfort. Ensure the cap is firmly
secured across both air hose outlets.
CAUTION!
Air pressure is released from all internal static
cells as well as alternating sections.
– Regularly perform a 'Bottoming Out' test to
ensure the patient is appropriately supported.
