Safety
This chapter provides general safety precautions
and recommended patient specifications.
General safety precautions
Protection against hazards
For your own safety and the safety of
equipment, always take the following
precautions:
Fluids
•
Before commencing set up or
installation, ensure the power is
switched off and disconnect the power
cord from the control unit.
•
Placing layers between patient and seat
cushion should be avoided or kept to a
minimum. As part of sensible pressure
care, avoid wearing clothing that may
cause areas of localized damage due to
creases, seams, objects in pockets, etc.
•
Never use sharp objects or electrically
heated blankets on or under the system.
•
Product top cover is not completely air
permeable and may present a
suffocation risk. It is the responsibility of
the caregiver to ensure that the patient
can use this product safely.
•
Avoid blocking the air intakes of the
control unit, located at the rear of the unit.
•
Only the control unit and mattress
combination as indicated by Aeda
Healthcare should be used, otherwise
the correct function of the product
cannot be guaranteed.
Maximum patient weight
The maximum recommended patient
weight for this system is 265 pounds
120 kilograms.
Aeda - Actively supporting your health Avoid spilling fluids on any part of the
control unit. If spills do occur:
•
Turn off control unit power and
disconnect the unit from the main
electricity supply.
•
Immediately clean fluids from the
casing by wiping with a soft cloth.
Ensure there is no moisture in or near
the power inlet, power switch and
power cord before reconnecting the
power supply.
Check the operation of controls and
other components around the spill area.
Fluid or liquid remaining on the
electronic controls can cause corrosion
that may cause the electronic
components to fail. Component failures
may cause the unit to operate
erratically, possibly producing
potential hazards to patient and carers.
Explosion hazard
Equipment is not suitable for use in the
presence of a flammable anesthetic
mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous
oxide.
•
Do not use in the presence of smoking
materials or open flame – air flowing
through the mattress will support
combustion.
•
Do not open the control unit – risk of
electrical shock. Refer servicing to
qualified service personnel.
Disposal
At the end of useful life, dispose of all
components (air filter, air cells, mattress
cover and base) according to local
procedures and regulations or contact your
local Aeda Healthcare authorized dealer for
advice.
Power cord
The system should never be operated with a
worn or damaged power cord. Should the
power cord be found to be worn or damaged,
contact your local Aeda Healthcare
authorized dealer for a replacement.
Interference
Although this equipment conforms to the
intent of directive IEC 60601-1-2 in relation
to Electromagnetic Compatibility, all
electrical equipment may produce
interference. If interference is suspected,
move equipment from sensitive devices or
contact the manufacturer. (IEC 60601-1-2.

Aeria 5 User Guide
This chapter describes the steps necessary
to prepare the Aeria 5 system for use.
3.Attach the two air hoses to the control
unit – the quick connectors simply press
into place. The connectors include a press
button release system for ease of use.
Straighten any twists in the air hoses to
ensure uninterrupted air flow between
the control unit and overlay. Also
ensure the hoses are not trapped
between the overlay and bed. Failure to
do so could result in an under inflated
mattress leading to patient injury.
5.Before inflating, pull back the top cover
to ensure the cells are straight and the
cell straps are not twisted. Refit the top
cover, ensuring both air hoses are fitted
through the custom opening in the base
of the cover.
Allow up to 40 minutes for complete
inflation. The green Ready LED
illuminates when the system is ready for
use.
8.Once the overlay is fully inflated,
bedding can be replaced. Secure sheets
loosely enough to ensure they do not
interfere with cell alternation.
Dismantling the system
1. Switch off the control unit.
6.Insert the power cord into the base of
the control unit, then plug into an
appropriate electrical outlet and switch
on mains power.
2.Switch off mains power and unplug the
power cord from the mains outlet.
3.Disconnect both the air hoses from the
control unit. This will allow deflation of
all cells except static head cells.
4.To deflate the head cells, firmly pull the
CPR tag.

Establishing pressure
‘Bottoming out’ test
1.Prepare the system for use as described
in System Set Up. The green Ready LED
will illuminate once the overlay has
reached the required pressure and is
ready for use.
a. With the patient lying in the supine
position (lying on back, face upwards),
pull back one side of the top cover, just
past the sacral region (lower spine).
2.Cover loosely with a sheet before placing
patient on the overlay.
The patient may lie on the Aeria 5
system during inflation however the
overlay will fill faster if allowed to
inflate first.
3.When the patient is lying comfortably,
turn the Pressure dial to reach the
desired setting for effective patient
comfort and support. When adjusting or
lowering the pressure, ensure the Aeria
5 system is working effectively by
performing a ‘bottoming out’ test
(a test to ensure the patient is adequately
suspended away from the base).
Adjusts overlay pressure from low to
high, in line with patient weight and
comfort requirements.
b. Slide your hand underneath the patient
and feel for a deflated cell under the
patient’s lower spine – your hand should
easily slide between patient and base.
c. If the patient is
adequately suspended,
the pressure setting can be lowered.
After approximately 12 minutes, reassess
system function and patient comfort.
If pressure fails for whatever reason the
red Alarm indicator will display –
immediately increase pressure to the
maximum pressure setting.
After lowering the pressure setting,
always check the Aeria 5 system is
working effectively. Failure to do so
could cause patient injury.

operation
Aeria 5 User Guide
This chapter describes how to safely operate the Aeria 5 system
including patient set up and control unit function.
Wait at least 12 minutes between any
pressure adjustment or patient
assessment as the Aeria 5 system may
take a full cycle to adjust to the new
pressure setting.
4.Having established a base line, pressure
should be increased to provide added
support when the patient is semirecumbent (sitting up).
Transport function
When transporting a patient on the Aeria 5
system, disconnect both air hoses from the
control unit and snap ends together
(connect the air hoses to each other) to
retain air in the mattress overlay.
The length of time the system remains
inflated during transport will depend
on the weight and height of the patient,
and will vary on a case by case basis.
During transport, regularly perform a
‘bottoming out’ test (see page 8) to
ensure the patient is adequately
suspended on the overlay. Failure to
do so could cause patient injury.
Aeda - Actively supporting your health CPR / Re-inflation
Alarm function
Rapid deflation of the mattress replacement
may be necessary for emergency treatment
(or to decommission the unit).
The Alarm indicator illuminates to indicate
that control unit or overlay pressure has
failed (when pressure drops below the
accepted minimum level).
Pulling the CPR tag, located at mattress
head, will rapidly deflate the entire system.
If CPR or emergency treatment is required,
firmly pull the CPR tag ensuring both
sealing connectors are fully disconnected
from the air hoses.
For maximum deflation rate, also
disconnect both air hoses from the control
unit.
To re-inflate the system after the CPR tag
has been pulled, restore all disconnected air
hoses to the mattress replacement and wait
for the mattress to gain optimal pressure for
patient use.
i
A
“control setting
guide” is included on
the side of the
control unit, to
provide a quick
reference for
recommended
weight setting.
These settings are
a guide only.
Always verify
pressure settings
with a ‘bottoming
out’ test.
The indicator will remain illuminated until
appropriate pressure is restored.
If the Alarm indicator is illuminated, and the
system fails to inflate or loses pressure:
•
check the overlay air hoses are securely
connected to the control unit
•
check all overlay air cells and hoses
for any air leakage
•
check that the air filter
cover is correctly secured
