BREEZE® Quick Reference Guide This Quick Reference Guide has been produced to assist Healthcare Professionals and other users with only the functional aspects of the system. The guide does not replace the general safety warnings, cautions and recommendations provided in the product instructions for use, part number 624902. Refer to the product instructions for use before using this product. Indications:
•
The Breeze mattress is designed for patients weighing up to 140 kg (308 lb). 1
The Breeze systems are indicated for the prevention and/or management of all categories of pressure ulcer, when combined with an individualised, comprehensive pressure ulcer protocol. Contraindication: Do not use Breeze systems for patients with unstable spinal fractures.
•
Caution: If patients have other unstable fractures, or conditions which may be complicated by a soft or moving surface, advice should be sought from an appropriate clinician before use.
When connected to a suitable power supply the orange Standby light will illuminate. When the Power button is pressed, the green On light illuminates. The Low Pressure indicator will illuminate whenever the pump blower does not deliver the required pressure to the mattress/overlay. An audible alarm will sound until normal pressure is reached or the pump is switched off using the Power button. The indicator will extinguish once normal pressure is reached. Check CPR tubeset is connected properly.
!
The red Power Fail Alarm indicator will flash when a mains power failure has been detected by the pump. An audible alarm will sound until power is resumed or the pump is switched off using the Power button. The Mode Button switches between the three modes, Autofirm, Static and Pulsate. The mode light flashes for a few seconds before the selected mode is activated to allow you to scroll between modes. Once a mode is activated, the light becomes steady. Autofirm Mode provides a firmer surface for patient transfer on and off the bed and allows for easier nursing procedures. Static Mode provides a constant low pressure support surface. Pulsate Mode combines continuous low pressure with periodic pulsation of the support surface. Comfort Adjust provides the means for adjusting the pressure inside the mattress. To increase the firmness of the cells push the up arrow, to decrease push the down arrow. 5

The Lock Out Facility prevents accidental alterations being made to the operation of the pump. Pressing both the up and down arrows together deactivates the lock out facility. It is automatically activated 5 minutes after last being unlocked. The On indicator light will flash when activated. The On indicator is continually illuminated when de-activated.

Installation
Quick Start
Breeze Mattress Overlay
When power is applied to the pump unit, the orange standby indicator is illuminated. Pressing the Power button on the control panel will activate the pump.
Place the overlay on top of the base mattress, with the tubeset located near the foot end of the bed. The cells of the overlay must be uppermost. Secure the overlay to the base mattress by placing the apron under the foot end of the mattress and securing the corner straps to the head end.
Allow approximately 3 minutes for the mattress/overlay to inflate fully. Make sure the turn valves are in the correct position (see below), place a bed sheet over the overlay/MR and tuck in loosely.
Caution: Do not use the overlay directly on the bed frame. Breeze Mattress Replacement (MR) Place the MR directly onto the bed base, with the tubeset located near the foot end of the bed. The cells of the mattress must be uppermost. Use the straps provided to make sure the MR is secured to the moving parts of the bed platform.
To Complete the Mattress Installation Zip the protective cover over the mattress/overlay. Make sure the ArjoHuntleigh logo is uppermost and at the foot end of the mattress/ overlay. Installing the Pump !
The pump will default to the Static mode providing continuous low pressure. Autofirm mode inflates the cells to their maximum pressure to provide a stable surface for nursing procedures and/or patient transfer. After 9 minutes an alarm will sound. After 10 minutes the mattress will revert to Static mode at the previously set comfort level. Pulsate mode provides a low pressure support surface with a regular pulse. Turn Valves The six leg cells can be deflated individually using the Inline Turn Valves. Each valve has two positions: Open - Allows the cell to be inflated. Turn the valve so that it points toward the head end of the mattress.
Position the pump, feet down, on any convenient horizontal surface or alternatively suspend from the bed foot rail by means of the swing out hooks.
Make sure the mattress tube-set is not “kinked” or twisted and connect it to the pump until it clicks into place. Make sure the tubeset is securely connected to the pump.
Insert the mains power plug into a suitable mains power socket. Transport Mode The patient may be transported on the Breeze Mattress Replacement only, by turning off the pump and disconnecting it from the mains power supply. The air-filled sub-mattress will provide temporary support for up to six hours. Do not disconnect the tubeset from the pump, as this deflates the air-filled sub-mattress.
Closed - Deflates the cell. Turn the valve so that it points toward the foot end of the mattress.
CPR Control IN THE EVENT OF CARDIAC ARREST In the event of a patient suffering cardiac arrest and CPR needing to be administered: To activate CPR - Depress the red release catch on the tubeset/pump connector and pull the tubeset away from the pump.
SAFETY SIDES Regarding the use of safety sides, always refer to your local trust policy AND the product instructions for use.
