WARNING: Patient entrapment with bed side rails
may cause injury or death. The bed frame and its
components, including the mattress, bed side rails,
head and foot board, bedding, and any accessories
added to the bed, can all affect the risk of entrapment.
Thorough patient assessment and monitoring are
necessary to reduce the risk of entrapment, including
establishing whether the use of a bed rail is in the
best interest of the patient. Read and understand the
User Manual before using this equipment. GF Health
Products, Inc. product manuals are available online at
learn more about the risks of entrapment. It is the
responsibility of the facility and provider to be in
compliance with these guidelines. Refer to user
manuals for beds and rails for additional product
safety information.
After any adjustment, repair or service, and before
use, ensure all attaching hardware is securely
tightened. Bed rails with dimensions different
than the original equipment specified by the bed
manufacturer may not be interchangeable and may
result in entrapment or other injury.

Pressure adjust knob: The pressure adjust knob controls
the air pressure output. Turn it clockwise to increase
output pressure (firmer); turn it counter-clockwise to
decrease air output pressure (softer). Higher pressure
output will better support the heavier-weight user. The
setting is measured in kilograms (kg). Please consult your
physician for an appropriate setting.
Normal pressure indicator: The green normal pressure LED
illuminates when the pressure inside the air mattress has
reached the selected pressure setting.
Low pressure indicator: The yellow low pressure LED
illuminates when the pressure inside the air mattress is
below the selected setting.

PUMP AND MATTRESS INSTALLATION
1. Place the mattress on top
of the bed frame; ensure
that the foot end symbol
faces up at foot end as
shown at right.
2. Fold open the wire
hangers on the back of
the pump as shown at
right.

on the bed's foot end
as shown at right, or

WARNING: Locate all cords so that they will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
WARNING: Do not use a household extension cord if
the electrical cord does not reach the power outlet.
Use of an improper extension cord could result in
fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must
be used, use a three conductor cord with ground,
properly wired, in good electrical condition, and keep
it as short as possible.
WARNING: Ensure that the local power voltage is
appropriate for the pump unit.
5. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical
outlet.

OPERATION
1. Turn the power switch
to the ON position.
2. Adjust the pressure
adjust knob to the
maximum position.
Info: Set the pressure adjust knob to the maximum position
for the quickest inflation at set-up; the mattress can then be
adjusted to the desired pressure.
3. The pump will begin
delivering air into the
mattress. While the
mattress is filling, the
low pressure indicator (yellow LED) will illuminate.
4. When the selected
pressure level is
reached, the low
pressure indicator will
de-illuminate, and the normal pressure indicator (green
LED) will automatically illuminate.
5. Replace all sheets, blankets, and pillows on the bed.
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
Generally, a lighter patient will need a lower (softer)
setting while a heavier patient will need a higher (firmer)
setting, but pressure adjustment must ultimately be based
on the patient's weight distribution. A short, stocky person
may be the same weight as a tall, thin person, but their
settings will not be the same. The mattress should be firm
enough to support the patient, yet soft enough so the
patient will sink down to eliminate pressure points. Test
the pressure by placing four fingers below the mattress
14
750000-INS-LAB-RevC11
under the patient's buttock area; your fingers should just
fit. If the fit is too loose, decrease the setting. If your fingers
do not fit well, increase the setting two notches firmer. Wait
ten minutes and then check again. You should only have
to adjust this setting one time per patient. Please consult
your physician for an appropriate setting.
QUICK DISCONNECT
Pull the power plug from the wall connector to disconnect
the device quickly.

TRANSPORT CAP
In case of power failure or transport:
