The Athena low air loss mattress system is a high quality air support
surface suitable for individuals with up to and including grade 4 pressure
ulcers, needing frequent monitoring and positioning. A controlled rate of
air escaping through the air cells is intended to reduce excess moisture
between the patient and mattress to minimise the risk of skin breakdown
and to provide a cooling eect to the body. Via the pressure distribution
in the air cells the mattress forms around the pressure points of the body
providing comfort and pressure reduction to vulnerable tissue.
Contraindications: Appropriate advice should be taken for patients
with unstable spinal injuries. Do not use the mattress if the patient and
accessories exceed patient weight limit (MUW).

Operation
A. Power
The switch on the side of the pump turns it on/o.
When switched on an audible signal will sound for a
brief period and the switch illuminates green.
B. Pressure Range
Press + or - to increase or decrease the pressure
setting depicted on the pressure scale. There
are 8 available pressure settings from soft to firm
(10mmHg to 25mmHg, ±2mmHg per step). The
green lights illuminate on the pressure scale to
indicate what pressure setting has been chosen..
C. Mute
Mutes the audible signal for a 30 minute period.
The mute setting will self-cancel after 30 minutes
and the audible signal will re-sound. Note: If the
‘power failure’ indicator activates the mute button
will not silence the audible signal. To silence, the on/
o switch on the control unit must be set to
‘o’. Please ensure it is turned on again to inflate
the mattress.
D. Seat
Increases the pressure in each cell by 5mmHg.
The ‘seat’ mode prevents the patient from
bottoming out when the patient is in a sitting
position. When in ‘seat ’ mode an amber indicator
illuminates. Re-pressing the button cancels
‘seat’ mode.
E. Autofirm
Automatically inflates the mattress to a maximum
level of 45mmHg to aid patient transfers. When in
‘autofirm’ mode an amber indicator illuminates.
‘Autofirm’ self-cancels af ter 30 minutes and returns
to the previous pressure setting. Re-pressing the
‘autofirm’ or pressure adjustment buttons cancels
‘autofirm’ mode.
F. Lock/unlock
The control unit will automatically lockout all
functionality 2 minutes after a function change.
To unlock the control unit the ‘lock’ button is
pressed for 2 seconds. To reengage the lock the
button can either be again pressed for 2 seconds
re-engage. When the system is locked an amber
indicator illuminates.
