General Safety Before you connect the system pump to a mains socket, read carefully all the installation instructions in Section 3 - Installation. The system has been designed to comply with regulatory safety standards including EN60601-1:1990/A13:1996. Safety Warnings • The cover of this product is vapour permeable but not air permeable and may present a suffocation risk. It is the responsibility of the care giver to ensure that the user can use this product safely. • Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. The pump's case back should only be removed by authorised technical personnel. • Do not use the pump in the presence of flammable gases such as anaesthetic agents. • To assess suitability of safety sides for the AUTO Logic™ 175 mattress replacement, the mattress provides a patient position equivalent to a 160mm thick foam hospital mattress. We would therefore recommend that in most cases safety sides of at least 380mm (160+220mm)1 above the mattress support platform are used with this product. The AUTO Logic™ 200 mattress replacement provides a patient position equivalent to a 175mm thick foam hospital mattress. We would therefore recommend that in most cases safety sides of at least 395mm (175+220mm)1 above the mattress support platform are used with this product. However, as with all bed and mattress combinations, it is important for the carers to make decisions on safety sides based on clinical assessment and in line with local hospital policy. • When assessing the suitability of safety sides for the AUTO Logic™ 110 mattress overlay, we recommend using safety side extensions due to the varying thickness of hospital mattresses. However, as with all bed and mattress combinations, it is important for the carers to make decisions on safety sides based on clinical assessment and in line with local hospital policy. • Whilst patient is unattended, safety sides should be used in line with the above information and local hospital policy. • Alignment of the bed frame, safety sides and the system should leave no gap wide enough to entrap a patient's head or body. Care should be exercised to prevent occurrence of gaps by compression or movement of the mattress. Death or serious injury may occur. Due to the inherently lower flame retardancy of the high performance eVENT® 2 fabric, it is NOT suitable for use in the homecare environment.

1. IEC 601-2-38 states that there must be a minimum clearance of 220mm between the top of the safety sides and the top of the mattress when the bed is flat and the mattress uncompressed. 2. eVENT® is a registered trademark of BHA Technologies Inc.

Precautions For your own safety and the safety of the equipment, always take the following precautions: • Placing extra layers between the patient and the mattress/seat cushion potentially reduces the benefits provided by the mattress/seat cushion and should be avoided or kept to a minimum. As part of sensible pressure area care, it is advisable to avoid wearing clothing which may cause areas of localised high pressure due to creases, seams, etc. Placing objects in pockets should be avoided for the same reason. • Keep the pump away from sources of liquids and do not immerse in water. • Do not expose the system, especially the mattress/seat, to naked flames, such as cigarettes etc. • Do not store the system in direct sunlight. • Switch off the electrical supply to the pump by disconnecting the pump from the mains socket before cleaning and inspection. • Do not use hypercarbonate or phenolic based cleaning solutions. • Ensure the system is clean and dry prior to use or storage. • Never use sharp objects or electrically heated under blankets on or under the system. • Store the pump and mattress/seat in the protective bags supplied. • Only the pump and mattress/seat combination as indicated by Huntleigh Healthcare should be used. The correct function of the product cannot be guaranteed if the incorrect pump and mattress/seat combinations are used.

Caution Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). This product complies with the requirements of applicable EMC Standards. The use of accessories not specified by the manufacturer may result in increased emissions by, or decreased immunity of, the equipment, affecting its performance

1. Introduction About this Manual

This manual is your introduction to the Auto Logic™ Dual Mode support systems and the Aura Logic™ seat cushion. Use it to initially set up the mattress or seat cushion, keep it as a reference for day-to-day routines and as a guide to maintenance.

About Auto Logic™

The Auto Logic systems comprise of a mattress replacement, overlay or seat cushion, all operated by the same pump. The pump incorporates Self Set Technology (SST), which adjusts air pressure every 10 mins for the alternating mode and 20 mins for the Constant Low Pressure (CLP) mode to suit the Body Mass Index (BMI) and position of the patient. Both support systems can be used on standard hospital and domestic beds.

Auto Logic Pump

The Auto Logic pump comprises of a moulded case with non slip feet on the base and rear and integral hanging brackets. The controls are situated on the top of the pump and a sophisticated alarm system differentiates between normal operation and genuine system faults. If an alarm situation is detected an indicator will illuminate on the top and front of the pump and an audible warning will sound. Control Panel Power and Alarm Indicators

Auto Logic 110 Mattress Overlay

The Auto Logic 110 mattress overlay comprises the following components: Detachable Cover

3 Static Head Cells (Dark Blue) Cover Attachment Zips

Cable Management

CPR Unit 2 Standard Cells (Dark Blue) 10 Side Supporting Cell-in-Cells (Light Blue) Fixed Tube-set

5 Standard Cells (Dark Blue)

Serial Label (Inside Base Cover) Detachable Cover

Overlay Base Cover (Including Micro Air Loss System) Corner Straps

The standard cover comprises of a 2-way stretch PU coated knitted fabric zipped to a durable nylon base. The zips are protected by flaps to prevent ingress of contaminants and allow easy removal of the cover for cleaning. Alternative covers with advanced properties, such as Advantex® and eVENT®, are also available (Refer to “Cover options and features” on page 31).

Cells

The mattress comprises of 20 polyurethane (PU) cells providing support to the user in either Alternating or Constant Low Pressure modes. The cells are slightly curved to reduce patient movement down the mattress. The side supporting cells incorporate Cell-in-Cell technology to help the transfer of patients on and off the bed by keeping the edges of the mattress firm.

Micro Air Loss System

A micro air loss system is incorporated into the base cover which de-humidifies the air surrounding the cells to reduce heat build up within the mattress and ensure patient comfort. This system is separate from the cell

inflation to enable both micro air loss and patient transport modes to be incorporated into the mattress. CPR function

A CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation) control is positioned at the head end of the mattress to allow the air to be evacuated in under 10 seconds.

Tube-set

The tube-set has a 3-way pneumatic connection which incorporates a flexible, compact anti-kink tube that is resistant to crushing and any subsequent obstruction of air flow. If the tube-set is disconnected from the pump, the mattress automatically changes to transport mode.

Overlay Base Cover

The base cover for the mattress overlay is PU coated nylon on the underside. Four corner retention straps are incorporated, which slide under the corners of the base mattress.

Auto Logic 200 Mattress Replacement

The Auto Logic 175 & 200 mattress replacements are of a similar construction to the overlay with the addition of a non-slip base. Within the non-slip base, the 175 mattress includes a foam underlay and the 200 mattress has an air filled zoned sub-mattress both of which replace the need for a mattress on the bed. The base can be removed to convert the mattress replacement to an

The Sub-Mattress provides an integral constant pressure support which removes the need for a standard mattress. The pressure in the central zone of the pad is automatically adjusted in line with the Alternating / Constant Low Pressure (CLP) of the mattress. The pressure in the perimeter zone of the pad is maintained at a higher level to help transfer of patients on and off the bed. On the underside of the Sub-Mattress there are eight straps to attach the mattress replacement to the bed frame. The straps can be moved to any of the 10 anchor points to allow attachment of the mattress to different bed frames.

Aura Logic Seat Cushion

The Aura Logic seat cushion comprises of a pressure relieving alternating cell system and can be used on standard hospital and normal domestic chairs. The seat cushion can be operated using any of the Logic pumps. The pumps automatically recognises which
