10.0 Setting Up the System

1. Remove standard mattress from bed frame.
2. Replace standard mattress with the Air Express LAL (M1500) mattress. Make sure to orient mattress
so the air tubing exits the mattress at the foot of the bed.
3. Before securing the mattress straps, raise the head and foot ends of the bed frame. Raise the side
rails. Loosely, secure mattress to bed frame by looping the nylon straps on mattress through the bed
frame and then back through the D-rings on mattress. Make sure the side rails can still move up and
down without interference. Lower frame to its horizontal position and then tighten straps.
4. Suspend control unit from the footboard using the two hooks located on the back of the unit. If no
footboard exists, place unit on a flat surface near the foot end of the bed. (Be careful not to position
the unit on the floor in such a manner that it may become a hazard to foot traffic.)
5. Connect the free end of the tubing to the respective mating connector located on the side of the
Control Unit. This "quick connect" fitting can be secured by simply mating the two ends together in a
linear but opposing direction.
6. Check that the hose is secure by gently pulling. Ensure the air hose is not kinked or tucked under the
mattress.
7. Cover air mattress with the PLEXUS top sheet and attach to the mattress D-rings provided.
8. Plug power cord into a properly grounded outlet. Unit will enter "STAND BY" mode when dial is set to
0. Settings greater than 1 will automatically initiate the units operation.
9. Place patient on the air mattress. (Note: The control unit can inflate the mattress with the patient
laying on it.) To assist in patient ingress/egress as well as normal nursing procedure, the air mattress
can be maximally inflated by fully rotating the comfort adjust dial in a clockwise direction. NOTE: To
reduce the risk of skin break down, MAX Inflate should not be maintained for greater than 30
minutes.
