General safety precautions Protection against hazards For your own safety and the safety of equipment, always take the following precautions: Fluids • Before commencing set up or installation, ensure the power is switched off and disconnect the power cord from the control unit. • Unplug the system from the supply mains to disconnect its circuits. • Placing layers between patient and seat cushion should be avoided or kept to a minimum. As part of sensible pressure care, avoid wearing clothing that may cause areas of localized damage due to creases, seams, objects in pockets, etc. • Never use sharp objects or electrically heated blankets on or under the system. • Product top cover is not completely air permeable and may present a suffocation risk. It is the responsibility of the caregiver to ensure that the patient can use this product safely. • Avoid blocking the air intakes of the control unit, located at the rear of the unit. • Only the control unit and mattress combination as indicated by Aeda Healthcare should be used, otherwise the correct function of the product cannot be guaranteed. Maximum patient weight The maximum recommended patient weight for this system is 330 pounds 150 kilograms. Aeda - Actively supporting your health Avoid spilling fluids on any part of the control unit. If spills do occur: • Turn off control unit power and disconnect the unit from the main electricity supply. • Immediately clean fluids from the casing by wiping with a soft cloth. Ensure there is no moisture in or near the power inlet, power switch and power cord before reconnecting the power supply. Do not position the system so that it is difficult to operate the disconnection device. Check the operation of controls and other components around the spill area. Fluid or liquid remaining on the electronic controls can cause corrosion that may cause the electronic components to fail. Component failures may cause the unit to operate erratically, possibly producing potential hazards to patient and carers. Explosion hazard Equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide. • • Do not open the control unit – risk of electrical shock. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. • Do not modify this system without the authorization of the manufacturer. Disposal At the end of useful life, dispose of all components (air filter, air cells, mattress cover and base) according to local procedures and regulations or contact your local Aeda Healthcare authorized dealer for advice. Power cord The system should never be operated with a worn or damaged power cord. Should the power cord be found to be worn or damaged, contact your local Aeda Healthcare authorized dealer for a replacement. Interference Significant risks of reciprocal interference may be posed by the presence of the system during specific investigations or treatments. Potential electromagnetic or other interference between the system and other devices may occur. If interference is suspected, move equipment from sensitive devices of contact the manufacturer. Do not use in the presence of smoking materials or open flame – air flowing through the mattress will support combustion. safetypage 5 System set up Preparing the system for use Carefully unpack the system and locate all items shown in the picture below. Inspect each item for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. Any damage or missing components should be reported to your local Aeda Healthcare authorized dealer as soon as possible. 1.Remove all bedding from your mattress and place the mattress overlay on the bed – printed top cover facing upwards and air hoses towards the base of the bed. 2.Hang the control over the foot end of your bed, using the inbuilt rear hanging hooks. The control unit can also be placed on a flat surface (ie on the floor or underneath the bed). mattress overlay (top cover & base) Ensure the control unit is firmly secured to the bed. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage. control unit Secure to the bed by sliding the elastic straps, located on the underside of the mattress overlay, around each end of your existing mattress. Ensure the straps fit firmly, and are not twisted or pulled towards the corners. Before attaching the control unit to the floor or the foot board of the bed, ensure they are sufficiently robust and free of damage. power cord Do not secure mattress straps to bed side rails – straps will tear. Ensure that straps do not interfere with the operation of the bed, and that the mattress overlay is properly secured. Failure to do so could result in patient injury or equipment damage. page 6 system set up i The Aeria 5 mattress overlay can be rotated 180 degrees to position the control unit at the head of the bed if preferred. Aeria 5 User Guide This chapter describes the steps necessary to prepare the Aeria 5 system for use. 3.Attach the two air hoses to the control unit – the quick connectors simply press into place. The connectors include a press button release system for ease of use. 5.Before inflating, pull back the top cover to ensure the cells are straight and the cell straps are not twisted. Refit the top cover, ensuring both air hoses are fitted through the custom opening in the base of the cover. illuminates when the system is ready for use. 8.Once the overlay is fully inflated, bedding can be replaced. Secure sheets loosely enough to ensure they do not interfere with cell alternation. Dismantling the system 1. Switch off the control unit. Straighten any twists in the air hoses to ensure uninterrupted air flow between the control unit and overlay. Also ensure the hoses are not trapped between the overlay and bed. Failure to do so could result in an under inflated mattress leading to patient injury. 2.Switch off mains power and unplug the power cord from the mains outlet. 6.Insert the power cord into the base of the control unit, then plug into an appropriate electrical outlet and switch on mains power. 2 3 1 4.Locate the CPR tag at the head of the mattress overlay and ensure the CPR sealing connectors are fully inserted into the air hoses, as shown below. 7.On the control unit, turn the Pressure dial to maximum and then switch on (the power switch illuminates to indicate the system is operational). 3.Disconnect both the air hoses from the control unit. This will allow deflation of all cells except static head cells. 4.To deflate the head cells, firmly pull the CPR tag. 5.Once air has been released from the system, detach the overlay from your mattress by removing both elastic straps, then fold and roll the overlay for storage. 6.Return all items to the custom carry bag for safe keeping. Do not store the system in direct sunlight. Allow up to 50 minutes for complete inflation. The green Ready LED Aeda - Actively supporting your health system set uppage 7 Operation Control unit layout No special skills, training or knowledge are required to operate the control unit. Establishing pressure 1.Prepare the system for use as described in System Set Up. The green Ready LED will illuminate once the replacement has reached the required pressure and is ready for use. 2.Cover loosely with a sheet before placing patient on the replacement. The patient may lie on the Aeria 5 system during inflation however the replacement will fill faster if allowed to inflate first. 3.When the patient is lying comfortably, turn the Pressure dial to reach the desired setting for effective patient comfort and support. When adjusting or lowering the pressure, ensure the Aeria 5 system is working effectively by performing a ‘bottoming out’ test (a test to ensure the patient is adequately suspended away from the base). ‘Bottoming out’ test Power on / off switch Pressure dial Turns system power on and off. The switch illuminates to indicate power is on. Adjusts mattress pressure from low to high, in line with patient weight and comfort requirements. Ready indicator Static / Alternating switch This green light displays when the system reaches (and maintains) operational pressure. Switches between Static and Alternating operational modes. The orange Static Mode indicator illuminates when the mattress is operating in static mode (all cells fully inflated with no dynamic alternation). When the static mode indicator is not illuminated, the mattress is operating in dynamic Alternating Mode (alternate cells cyclically inflating and deflating). Alarm indicator This red light displays to alert when the control unit or mattress pressure fails. The alarm indicator remains illuminated until pressure is restored. page 8 operation a. With the patient lying in the supine position (lying on back, face upwards), pull back one side of the top cover, just past the sacral region (lower spine). b. Slide your hand underneath the patient and feel for a deflated cell under the patient’s lower spine – your hand should easily slide between patient and base. c. If the patient is adequately suspended, the pressure setting can be lowered. Aeria 5 User Guide This chapter describes how to safely operate the Aeria 5 system including patient set up and control unit function. After approximately 12 minutes, reassess system function and patient comfort. If pressure fails for whatever reason the red Alarm indicator will display – immediately increase pressure to the maximum pressure setting. After lowering the pressure setting, always check the Aeria 5 system is working effectively. Failure to do so could cause patient injury. Wait at least 12 minutes between any pressure adjustment or patient assessment as the Aeria 5 system may take a full cycle to adjust to the new pressure setting. 4.Having established a base line, pressure should be increased to provide added support when the patient is semirecumbent (sitting up). Transport function When transporting a patient on the Aeria 5 system, disconnect both air hoses from the control unit and snap ends together (connect the air hoses to each other) to retain air in the mattress replacement. The length of time the system remains inflated during transport will depend on the weight and height of the patient, and will vary on a case by case basis. During transport, regularly perform a ‘bottoming out’ test (see page 8) to ensure the patient is adequately suspended on the replacement. Failure to do so could cause patient injury. CPR / Re-inflation Rapid deflation of the mattress replacement may be necessary for emergency treatment (or to decommission the unit). Pulling the CPR tag, located at mattress head, will rapidly deflate the entire system. If CPR or emergency treatment is required, firmly pull the CPR tag ensuring both sealing connectors are fully disconnected from the air hoses. For maximum deflation rate, also disconnect both air hoses from the control unit. To re-inflate the system after the CPR tag has been pulled, restore all disconnected air hoses to the mattress replacement and wait for the mattress to gain optimal pressure for patient use. If parts need to be repaired, circuit diagrams and a list of component parts can be provided by the manufacturer. Aeda - Actively supporting your health A “control setting guide” is included on the side of the control unit, to provide a quick reference for recommended weight setting. These settings are a guide only. Always verify pressure settings with a ‘bottoming out’ test. Alarm function The Alarm indicator illuminates to indicate that control unit or replacement pressure has failed (when pressure drops below the accepted minimum level). The indicator will remain illuminated until appropriate pressure is restored. If the Alarm indicator is illuminated, and the system fails to inflate or loses pressure: • check the replacement air hoses are securely connected to the control unit • check all replacement air cells and hoses for any air leakage • check that the air filter cover is correctly secured • check the air filter is clean If the problem persists, contact your local Aeda Healthcare authorized dealer for further advice about repair. Do not try to open the control unit. operationpage 9 Care & cleaning To prevent cross contamination, it is recommended the overlay is examined and disinfected between patient use.
