1.
When installing the Bari-Breeze mattress, place the mattress directly on the bed frame.
Note: 2.
There are sixteen nylon black straps with buckles on the base of the mattress. Loop each strap around the bed frame and fasten it securely to the bed frame using the buckle.
Note: 3.
Make sure that the tubeset end of the mattress is at the foot end of the bed.
Attach the mattress to the movable parts of the bed only.
Open the hooks on the back of the pump and suspend the pump from the bed foot rail. If the bed you are using does not have a foot rail, place the pump upright on its base on a flat surface underneath the bed near the foot of the bed frame.
4.
Plug the mains power cord into the pump. Insert the mains power plug into a suitable mains power socket.
5.
Securely attach the pump connector onto the pump until it clicks, and make sure the air plug for the side bolsters and base air pad is secure.
6.
If not already fitted, place the protective cover over the mattress and secure in position. Make sure the ArjoHuntleigh logo is uppermost and at the foot end of the mattress.
Cable Management Make sure that the mains power cable is positioned to avoid causing a trip or other hazard, and is clear of moving bed mechanisms or other possible entrapment areas.
Pressing the Max Flow button sets the pump to maximum flow, fully inflating the mattress and overriding the comfort control. This feature is only available in static mode. If pressed during Turn mode, it will revert the system to Static mode and return the patient to a central position. Max Flow inflates the mattress to maximum pressure for 15 minutes. A blue indicator on the button will show when it is active and an is shown in the LED display. To cancel Max Flow and to enter Turn mode settings, press the Max Flow button once. To continue Max Flow for more than 15 minutes, press once to cancel, and quickly again to enter Max Flow for a further 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, Max Flow is automatically cancelled.
Turn Options Uni-Lateral Turn To enter uni-lateral mode, press the button to cycle through until or is selected. This is confirmed by the illuminated blue indicator. Bi-Lateral Turn To enter bi-lateral Turn mode, press the button until is selected. This is confirmed by the illuminated blue indicator.
Turn Times To set therapy turn times, press the button until the desired time is indicated, this is confirmed by the illuminated blue LED. MIN
Initial Power Up Press the power/standby button to turn the pump on. An audible beep will sound. The system will go into a start up cycle for 30 seconds, during which time the pump will rapidly inflate the mattress. During this process the 7 segment display will alternate between ‘b‘ and ‘f‘ to indicate bolster fill. Once the mattress is fully inflated and with the patient in position, adjust the comfort controls to the desired level. Adjust if necessary to make sure the patient does not sink through to the base air pad. Recommended Pressure Settings
CPR Control IN THE EVENT OF CARDIAC ARREST To Activate the CPR Located on the right hand side of the pump is a CPR device marked with an arrow. In the event of cardiac arrest, press the two quick release catches on the tubeset/pump connector, and simultaneously pull the hose away from the pump.
For extra firm support during patient handling or nursing procedures, it is recommended to set the mattress pressure to maximum by pressing Max Flow. When the backrest is raised and the patient is in a semi-recumbent position, it is recommended to press the Max Flow button to increase the pressure/comfort level accordingly to make sure the patient does not bottom out.
