2. Intended Use

The Dormir Digital Mattress Replacement System is intended to be used as an aid to assist

in the managed treatment and prevention of pressure ulcers when used in conjunction

with a patient care plan and/or pressure ulcer prevention program and must not be

considered or relied upon as an independent curative device.

All patients must be clinically risk assessed before being prescribed the Dormir Digital

Mattress Replacement System and used with clinical guidance.

The Care Provider is responsible for ensuring that the person(s) setting up and using the

Dormir System are trained and competent in its use.

treatment of pressure ulcers (NPUAP, EPUAP & PPPIA 2014)

Each time the Dormir Digital MRS is set up, specific attention must be drawn to

any potential dangers which can occur despite correct operation. Before putting

the Dormir Digital MRS into service for the first time, the Instructions for Use

must be read conscientiously and in detail by the User / Care personnel.

Fit the Mattress

Correct Mattress orientation on a Bed 

Position the Mattress onto the bed with the tube set towards the foot end of the bed.

Also, the print on the mattress should be face up, with the image of ‘feet’ towards the

foot end.

Correct Mattress strap locations 

Secure the mattress on to the bed frame using the black nylon straps that are located

on the mattress base (shown in RED, above). Ensure that the straps do not impede

moving parts. Pull straps to tighten and tuck the loose end of the nylon strap up and out

of the way. Once fitted, check that the Bed still profiles without the straps snagging on

any framework.

Make sure that the power cable and tube set are routed so it does not snag the bed or

cause a trip hazard.

NEVER route the tube set on the floor between the castors at the Head or Foot

Ends of an adjustable height Bed. Doing so and raising a bed will pull the tubes

apart and damage your unit.

ALWAYS route any cabling around the sides of the bed, or around the castors

Connect the Pump and Mattress

Push the male tube set connector into the female

port (situated at the side of the pump) until it clicks

into place. To detach simply press the outside of the

tube set connector and pull outwards. Never

release the tube set connector whilst a patient is on

the mattress.

Check CPR Valve

Ensure that the CPR valve on the tube set is closed.

To do this, press the plastic caps attached to the

yellow CPR tag down tightly onto the red connector

opening in the tube set.

Check Mattress Assembly

Ensure that the mattress cover is zipped into place.

There are zips all the way around the mattress

cover, and they should all be fastened.

Setup Complete!

Plug the pump into a power socket ensuring

that electric cables are routed so they do not

pose a trip hazard.
