2.2 Pump functions – Control panel

Comfort setting knob – Comfort settings The comfort setting knob adjusts the air pressure in the mattress. When the knob is turned clockwise, the air supply and pressure in the mattress increase. When the knob is turned counter clockwise, the air supply and pressure in the mattress decrease. For sitting positions, we recommend that the pressure be raised by +25 kg. Check using a hand check (see section 3.4). Maximum pressure (Nursing mode) With this function, the entire mattress is inflated and provides fixed support. This function should be used when nursing the patient, shifting the patient’s position or moving the patient in or out of bed. This function automatically reverts to the previous setting after about 30 minutes. Information signal If the mattress pressure is too low an audio-visual alarm is triggered. Turning off the information signal Turn off the audio alarm by pressing the Audio off button. The audio alarm is reactivated after seven minutes if the pressure has not returned to normal. In the event of problems with notifications, see section 7 for troubleshooting. Normal pressure The light shows steady when the mattress is ready to be used. It flashes when air is being pumped into the mattress.

3. Installation and start-up 3.1 Installation When unpacking, check that no parts are damaged. If any damage is found, contact Care of Sweden before using the product. 1. Place the mattress on top of an existing mattress. If possible, secure it by pulling the elastic straps on the bottom over the corners of the underlying mattress. Note: If the mattress has an integrated foam core (CuroCell S.A.M.® PRO CF16), place the mattress directly on the bed base. Secure the mattress to the moving parts of the bed base using the straps on the cover. 2. Hang the pump by the foot end of the bed or place it on a flat, sturdy surface. Place the power cord so there is no risk of stumbling over it, run it over with the bed wheels or getting it jammed when raising or lowering the bed. 3. Connect the air tubes coming from the mattress to the side of the pump. The pump and hoses are equipped with quick connectors; an audible “click” will be heard when these have been connected correctly. 4. Check to make sure that the power is set to “0” (off). Plug the power cord into an approved outlet (220 V).

NOTE:

• Make up the bed with sheets to increase user comfort. • Check that the CPR valve is closed. • Make sure that the mattress is the correct size for the bed.

3.2 Start-up and settings PLEASE NOTE: Always read the user manual prior to use. 1. Start the pump by pressing “1” (on), on the side of the pump. 2. The pump starts filling the mattress with air. The green light with the symbol will flash during the inflation phase; it takes about 15 minutes for the mattress to fill with air. 3. When the

symbol shows a steady green light, the mattress is ready to be used.

3.3 Comfort settings The air pressure in the mattress can be adjusted according to the user’s comfort preference. Always consult the prescriber or other authorised personnel for the appropriate setting. Appropriate air pressure is selected using the knob (0–250 kg). The numbered scale guides your selection. For sitting positions, we recommend that the pressure be raised by +25 kg. Check using the hand check (see section 3.4).

8

NOTE:

• When the head end of the bed is raised, the pressure should be increased by 25 kg. • When only part of the mattress is under load, e.g. for amputee users, the pressure should be increased (by 1–2 steps). Then perform a hand check (see section 3.4). • The recommended user weight is up to 250 kg.

3.4 Hand check, checking the set pressure Hand check is used to ensure that the mattress is working properly. This should be done regularly, once per shift, after changing the position in the bed or changing the comfort setting. Open the cover. Place a flat hand under the air cells directly underneath the user’s pelvic region and make sure that the user does not lay directly on the underlying mattress. We recommend that there should be about a finger’s thickness to the underlying mattress. If the margin is too great or too small, you need to increase or decrease the comfort settings to the next highest or lowest step. Wait 10 minutes and perform a new hand check.

3.5 CPR In case of an emergency where CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is necessary: Quickly pull the CPR strap on the air tubes between the pump and the mattress. Detach the quick connectors on the side of the pump, for even faster deflation. NOTE: Make sure that the CPR connector is properly connected after use.

3.6 Low pressure If there is abnormally low air pressure, see section 7 for Troubleshooting.

3.7 Transport function Detach both the tubes from the pump and connect these together; this will put the mattress in “Transport mode”. We recommend that this function only be used for a short period of time.

Note:

If the air pressure remains low, search for damage on the mattress and the tubes. Repair when needed or contact the supplier.

4. Cleaning and reconditioning It is important to follow the instructions below before the product is used for another user. Consult your hygiene manager or the supplier for help and instructions if you are unsure.

4.1 Cleaning PUMP

WARNING! Do not open the pump housing – risk of electric shock. Service and maintenance must be performed by authorised technicians. Do not get the pump wet or submerge it in any liquid. Wipe off the pump with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution for this purpose such as: alcohol with or without tensides, Isopropanol 70 %, oxidating solutions or chlorine max 1 %. If using a different agent, choose one that does not affect the plastic of the pump housing. MATTRESS COVER Covers can be wiped off with a mild cleaning solution for this purpose such as: alcohol with or without tensides, Isopropanol 70 %, oxidating solutions or chlorine max 1 %. Excrements and blood spots must be removed immediately with cold water. Carefully follow local instructions and usage instructions for the cleaner. Multi-layer covers should be divided before washing. The various parts should be washed with similar colours. Chlorine and phenol-based cleaners could have a negative impact on the PU surface and should be avoided. If chlorine is used, we recommend a mixture of max. 1%. INNER COVER SOFT (accessory) Clean the affected area with a mild cleaning solution for this purpose such as: alcohol with or without tensides, Isopropanol 70 %, oxidating solutions or chlorine max 1 %.

4.2 Reconditioning PUMP See section 4.1 for instructions. MATTRESS 1. Disconnect the tubes from the pump and deflate the mattress. Also open the CPR valve. 2. Remove the cover. For more information on cleaning covers, see section 4.1. If the product is equipped with a foam core it should be removed and cleaned separately. 3. Move the mattress to a clean area that is suitable for cleaning. 4. Wipe off the cells, all tubes and the CPR valve with a mild cleaning solution for this purpose such as: alcohol with or without tensides, Isopropanol 70 %, oxidating solutions or chlorine max 1 %. 5. Wipe off and disinfect all the work surfaces with an alcohol based cleaning agent intended for this purpose. 6. Put the mattress together. If the tubes have for any reason come loose from the cells, these must be reattached according to the illustration in section 2.3. Close the CPR valve. FOAM CORE (CuroCell S.A.M.® PRO CF16) Clean the affected area with a mild cleaning solution for this purpose such as: alcohol with or without tensides, Isopropanol 70%, oxidating solutions or chlorine max 1 %. Gently squeeze out any water. NB: Do not wring or roll the cushion to extract water. Let the cushion dry in a warm, ventilated area (not in direct sunlight). The cushion must be completely dry before it is used again.

7. Troubleshooting Problem The pump does not start

Solution Check that the power cord is connected to a socket. Check that all fuses are OK.

Pump is operating but the mattress is not inflating normally

Check that air is coming from the pump and that the power cord is connected correctly. If the pump is working but no air is coming out, the pump should be serviced. Check that the CPR valve is closed. Check that the mattress and the mattress connector are not damaged. Check that the tubes are intact. Check that the air filter is not blocked.

The user sinks

The comfort settings might be incorrectly set. Adjust the Pressure (is lying directly on the mattress) and wait a few minutes. Check again using the “hand check” (see section 3.4). Check that the CPR valve is closed.

Mattress not stationary

Check that the mattress is secured to the underlying mattress with the elastic straps or, if the mattress has an integrated foam core (CuroCell S.A.M.® PRO CF16), secured with the straps to the moving parts of the bed base.

Noisy pump, or vibrations can be felt

Check that the pump is correctly attached to the bed. Resonance may occur in parts of the bed. Remove the pump and listen to see whether there’s any difference. This can be fixed by placing the pump on a level, sturdy surface. Or by putting, for instance, a towel between the pump and the bed.

If your questions are not answered by the above information, please contact Care of Sweden or your local dealer for further assistance.

11. Warranty 11.1 Scope This CuroCell® system is covered by a 2-year warranty for manufacturing defects. The warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear or damage due to negligence or improper handling/care.

11.2 Service and maintenance This CuroCell® mattress is a medical device, in accordance with MDD 93/42/EEC, that is used as an aid in preventing and treating pressure ulcers. For this reason, we recommend that the product be regularly serviced and inspected to maintain functionality and performance. Like other technical devices, a pump that is properly cared for works better and lasts longer. During the expected lifespan of the product, some parts of the pump will experience wear and will require servicing by a certified service technician in order to retain good functionality and performance. The scope of the servicing and the servicing intervals will depend on how often and to what degree the product is used. Service and maintenance must always be performed by Care of Sweden or one of its authorised technician. Only use spare parts that have been approved by Care of Sweden. Use of non-approved spare parts invalidates the warranty. Faults and defects regarded as warranty faults are rectified free of charge. A warranty claim must be submitted to Care of Sweden before the product is returned.

11.3 Life span The expected life span of the mattress is 5 years.
