Power Failure

In case of an extended power failure, the P.R.O.
Matt Plus mattress system should be disconnected
®
from the control unit. The patient can be left on the
mattress which will force out air from the internal
alternating cells. In the non-powered state, the
mattress will continue to function as a dynamic
pressure redistribution mattress replacement system.
Alternatively, to maintain pump function during a power
outage, an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) may
be used. The pump will return to its normal operation
when power is resumed.

Mattress Connection

The control unit features a detachable hose set that
attaches to the side of the control unit. The connector
that attaches to the mattress has three ports. The
left and right are of the same connector type and are
interchangeable. The center connection is different
and must be connected to the center port.
1. To disconnect the control unit from the mattress,
locate the ports at the foot end of the mattress
(Figure 3).
2. Disconnect the hose set by pressing down and
pulling the left and right connectors (Figure 4).
3. Repeat with the middle connector to fully
disconnect the mattress from the control unit
(Figure 5).
Note: If the control unit is not powered for a long
period of time, the connector should be disconnected
from the P.R.O. Matt Plus mattress and the control unit
should be stored (see "Storage and Care" section in
this manual).

Transport/Return to Non-Powered Operation

Patients being transported on the P.R.O. Matt Plus
mattress should be transported in the non-powered
mode of operation.
1. Turn the control unit off
2. Disconnect the air hoses from the mattress inlet
valve
3. Unplug the power cord from line power
Disconnecting the hose set will allow pressurized air to
vent from the internal cells. In the non-powered state,
the mattress will once again function as a dynamic
pressure redistribution system.
After transport, if powered therapy is desired,
reconnect hoses and system power according to setup
instructions.
