4. Suspend the power unit from the foot board of the bed having first
adjusted the hanger brackets as follows:-
a) Rotate each hanging bracket away from the pump.
b) Position the brackets to hang the pump on bed.
c) Fold the brackets towards the pump when not in use.
Alternatively the power unit may be placed on the floor.
5. Attach the air supply hose to the power unit by aligning the black line
on the air supply hose connector with the black line on the power
unit connector and pushing together. Rotate the mattress hose
connector clockwise until the green indicator fills the indicator hole
on the power unit connector (Fig. 3).
6. Plug the smaller end of the power cord into the left hand side of the
power unit, and the other end into mains outlet in wall. Ensure that
the power cord and tubing cannot become trapped in the bed frame.
7. Switch the power on at the outlet, and at the side of power unit
adjacent to the power cord entry.
8. The system will display STARTING, then INITIALISING whilst the
mattress inflates (this will take between 15 - 20 minutes).
Note: It is important that during the INITIALISING phase the mattress
connector is not disconnected from the power unit. If this is done,
the power unit must be switched off, MUTE button pressed when
the sounder is heard, the mattress connector re-engaged, and the
power unit restarted. If UNCALIBRATED is displayed when switched
on, the system will continue to operate but should be recalibrated as
soon as possible.
9. When a bottom sheet is added to the mattress, ensure that it is left lose to allow the mattress surface to conform
with the patient's body as much as possible.
10. Allow the mattress to inflate before positioning the patient on the mattress.
11. Once inflated the system will automatically default to ACTIVE mode. CONTINUOUS LOW PRESSURE therapy can
be selected via the THERAPY MODE button (please see THERAPY MODE on page 6). The comfort setting can be
adjusted using the up and down arrow buttons (see COMFORT CONTROL on page 6).
NB. The power unit will automatically lock 2 minutes after last button operation when running to prevent
inadvertent operation of button functions (except MUTE), as indicated by '
hold the MUTE/UNLOCK button until power unit beeps if further button operation is needed (i.e. change of therapy
mode or comfort setting).
12. Place the user manual in a safe place for future use.
4.2 Installing Cushion
The QUATTRO PLUS power unit can be used to operate the B.A.S.E. Sequential alternating air pressure cushion
using an optional adaptor, as follows:-
1. Place the cushion on a chair, ensuring that it is placed the correct
way up with the BACK labelling (if applicable) facing the back of
the chair. Secure cushion to chair using adjustable straps, where
available.
2. Connect the cushion adaptor to the power unit, rotating the adaptor
clockwise until the green indicator fills the indicator hole on the
power unit connector.
3. Connect the air supply hose from the cushion onto the adaptor, matching
up the alignment markings (Fig. 4). Ensure that this has been correctly
clicked into place, otherwise a leak may occur.
