4.3. Heel Relief Function
The last five cells from the foot-end have heel-relief connectors. Carers can easily disconnect the
connector and heels can be suspended in air to completely eliminate pressure exerted on the
heels.
4.4. Transportation
For permanent off-loading/pressure relief:
•Select no more than two cells directly under the
area that desired to relieve.
NOTE: This one to two cells can be left
permanently deflated.
NOTE: Deflating more than two adjacent cells
may affect the support of the patient during the
normal alternating cycle.
NOTE: When there is a need of patient
transportation, pump with the power cord can
be disconnected from the mattress during
transport. For optimum comfort, change the
system to CLP Mode and wait for 5 minutes
before disconnecting is recommended. Cap on
the quick connector as shown on the left to
keep the air inside the mattress. The mattress
remains inflated at least 24 hours depending on
the setting.
