1. Safety Precautions
In General
Do not use this equipment in the presence of flammable anaesthetics. Explosions could result. In line with MDA/2013/073 the
manufacturer warns against the dangers of smoking in bed.
Bed frames used with the systems can vary greatly depending on the specific health care setting (i.e. hospitals, nursing homes, home
care, etc). It is the responsibility of the caregiver to take the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of the patient. This includes, but
is not limited to, the appropriate use of side rails to prevent falls and/or patient entrapment.
Minimize articles between the system surface and patient, and secure bed sheets loosely so as not to affect the alternating cell
movement.
The manufacturer does not require such preventive inspections by other persons.
The user must check that the equipment functions safely and see that it is in proper working condition before being used.
No special skills or training of the operator is required, there is no restriction on location or environment.
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 device may occur. If interference is suspected, move
equipment from sensitive devices or contact the manufacturer.
Preventive inspection and calibration is not required.
Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer.
Manufacturer will provide circuit diagrams, component part lists, descriptions to assist to service personnel in parts repair.
The mattress is treated as the applied part.
Unplug the control unit from the mains power supply to disconnect the power.
Control Unit
The control unit is tested and approved according to ISO-EN 60601-1 rev.2 & EMC
Only plug into a grounded power receptacle and use the power cord supplied with the system.
Exposure of the electronic Control Unit to any liquid while it is plugged in could result in a severe electrical hazard.
Only use fuses that have the same specified rating. Using fuses with higher ratings could result in damage and/or injury.
(See Technical Specifications on cover).
The electronic Control Unit is a precision electronic product. Use care when handling or transporting. Dropping or other sudden
impacts may result in damage to the unit.
Do not open the Control Unit – risk of electrical shock. Do not attempt to repair or service the Control Unit. Repairs and service
should be conducted by an authorised local distributor. (See contact information on cover). If the Control Unit is not functioning properly,
or has been damaged, unplug the unit and take it out of service immediately. (See contact information on cover for repair and service
information).
Do not place any objects or items, such as blankets, on or over the Control Unit.
The power cord to the Control Unit should be positioned to avoid a tripping hazard and/or damage to the cord. It is recommended to
place the cord under the bed frame and attach it to an electrical outlet by the head of the bed.
Do not position the system so that it is difficult to operate the disconnection device.

2. Product Overview
Alternating Mattress system (see cover)
Dyna-Form Air Pro-Plus is an Alternating Mattress Replacement System providing pressure application and release to patients with,
or vulnerable to, pressure ulcers. It is designed to replace an existing mattress and can be used on both standard and profiling bed
frames.
Mattress
This system includes a static head cell(s) to provide static “pillow” support for optimum user comfort, while air pressure in the other
cells is alternated over a 10 minute cycle. This provides regular periods of pressure reduction to aid blood and lymphatic flow to
vulnerable tissue.
Control unit
The Control unit provides the air supply to the Mattress.
• It is controlled via a touch panel with integrated digital display. The Audible Warning sounds when pressure fails or power is
interrupted. Audible Warning Mute silences the Audible Warning for maximum of 20 minutes – the Audible Warning resumes if
cause of failure is not resolved. The Audible Warning will sound for up to two hours following an interruption to power.
• The Control Unit includes a back up power battery for the Audible Warning. This battery is continuously re-charged and will last
the lifetime of the product.
• Buttons on the control panel adjust the three comfort level settings.
• The Warning LED indicator and Audible Warning Mute completes the profile.
The visible and audible warning functions have a number of indicators depending on the cause of the failure.
The mains supply to the Control Unit can be easily disconnected and is designed to detach if tugged too firmly - protecting the
internal wiring of the unit. Should this occur, the alternation sequence is suspended and the Mattress cells remain inflated and/or
deflated based on the current cycle. The Power Down Audible Warning will sound.
