ARRIVAL OF PRODUCT

340 – 1 BOX containing: Air-Alternating mattress, pump, carry bag, manual3402 – 1 BOX containing: Foam underlay mattress

PREPARATION OF AREA

1. Unpack products

2. Place the Steiss 3 Series Alternating Pressure Mattress directly on top of the existing mattress and ensurethat the air hose is at the foot of the bed.

CAUTION: When securing the mattress to the bed, please ensure that you are securing onto the movable parts of the bed and NOT the actual bed frame, as this will obstruct the mechanical movement and could cause damage to both mattress and bed. The warranty for both the mattress and the bed may well be invalidated if damage is caused by this means.

NOTE: When the mattress is opened for the time, please write today’s date (with a non- Phenol based pen) in the top white box on the PU cover and add in the ‘same date’ for the following three years in the bottom white box. This will remind the care team when the annual service is due.

3. Hang the Steiss 3 Series pump at the foot of the bed. Connect the push-fit hose connector from thefoot of the mattress to the air outlet of the pump.

4. Plug the pump power cable into the mains outlet. Ensure that electrical cables are safe and tidy, are notcaught in the bed frame and are free from obstruction. Turn the power on at the mains outlet.

CAUTION: It is important to routinely inspect power cables to ensure they are not obstructed or causing a tripping hazard. Check the power cable is not under strain or is damaged.

MATTRESS CPR VALVE CHECK After approximately 30-40 minutes the mattress should be fully inflated. If the mattress is NOT fully inflated, check that the CPR valve is in the closed position and that the pump is connected to the mattress correctly.

CAUTION: Please ensure that the PU mattress cover is fully zipped and CPR connection is closed properly after inspection.

CAUTION: During a power cut, pump will stop functioning and the ‘power LED’ indicator may be flashing as well as the power failure alarm may be triggered if equipped, these are normal. The pump will return to its normal operation when power is resumed.

MATTRESS COMFORT CHECK

Re-check the comfort control setting on the pump unit.

If required, adjust the control setting to increase or decrease the required firmness of the mattress,using the patient’s weight as an initial guideline.

If the patient back rest moves greater than 30 degrees, increase the pressure in the mattress toaccommodate the extra load on the sacral cells.

HAND CHECK

• To check whether the patient is being properly supported, slide one hand in between the air mattress andthe base to ensure that they are not ‘bottoming out’.

A gap of 2-4 cm /1-2 inches between the patient’s bottom and the bed base is an acceptable gap and is anindication of the correct pressure setting. If this is not the case, the pressure can be adjusted accordingly,using the comfort control dial.

This mattress features a Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) valve at the head-end side of the mattress.

In the event of a cardiac arrest, unplug the CPR valve and unplug the air hose from the pump. This will immediately deflate the mattress.

IMPORTANT: Please ensure that all care staff are trained and familiarised with the mattress and this specific function.

ALARM FUNCTION

4. Emergency Air Release - CPR Valve Function

The Steiss 3 Series Alternating Air-Pressure Mattress Overlay System is equipped with visual and audible alarms in the event of low pressure.

During the initial inflation period, the system is in low-pressure mode and the Low Pressure LED will illuminate. The audible alarm is set with a delay function to take into consideration the inflation time.

The alarm will activate automatically after 45 minutes if the unit does not inflate properly.

When the patient’s position changes, the mattress pressure will drop from the set pressure and the audible alarm will switch to a five-minute delay to avoid the alarm being activated.

CLEANING OF THE MA TTRESS COVER

The mattress should be cleaned on the bed weekly using a damp, soft cloth and mild detergent.

NOTE: Do not use a phenol-based cleaning solution as this may reduce the life of the mattress.

Steiss has developed a dedicated wipe to ease the process for their clients. If the top PU cover becomes dirty, unzip top cover from bottom section and wash. If the PU cover on the base-foam becomes dirty, unzip top cover from bottom section and wash. If the top cover or base cover becomes excessively soiled, put on protective wear and remove the covers from the air cells and tubing. Place the soiled covers in an appropriate plastic bag and consult your supplier for advice on specialist cleaning. Then replace with clean covers.

If the covers are minimally soiled, then these can be washed and thermally disinfected in a washing machine by following the procedures below:

Industrial Break wash Main wash Main wash Extraction Cold Rinse Extraction

Cold 60°C (140°F) 70°C (158°F)
