Installing Mattress
1. Remove any existing mattress from the bed frame.
2. Place the mattress on the bed frame. Ensure the printed cover is
uppermost and the mattress hose can exit at the foot end on the right hand
side, if applicable. The FUSION Hybrid is now ready to use as a static foam
mattress.
3. If using the FUSION Hybrid as a powered mattress, suspend the power unit from
the foot board of the bed having first adjusted the hanger brackets as instructed
at the rear of the unit (Fig 1). Alternatively the power unit may be placed on the
floor.
4. The mattress air supply hose can be found at the foot end of the mattress
under the mattress cover skirt. Attach the mattress air supply hose to the
power unit by matching up the button on the mattress hose connector with the
alignment notch on the power unit connection port and pushing together (Fig.
2). Ensure that this has been correctly clicked into place otherwise a leak may
occur.
5. Plug the smaller end of the power lead into the left hand side of the power
unit, and the other end into mains outlet in wall. Ensure that the mains lead
and tubing cannot become trapped in the bed frame.
6. Switch the power on at the outlet, and at the side of power unit adjacent to
the power lead entry.
7. The system will display STARTING, then INITIALISING whilst the mattress
inflates (this will take approximately 2 minutes).
8. Allow the mattress to inflate before positioning the patient on the mattress. If,
however, the patient is already in-situ, having been using the foam mattress
without power, the mattress will still inflate and there is no need to disturb
the patient.
9. O
nce inflated the system will automatically default to ACTIVE mode. The
comfort setting can be adjusted using the up and down arrow buttons to help patient compliance (SOFT/MEDIUM/FIRM) (Fig. 3).
10. 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 on the display screen (Fig. 4). Press and hold the MUTE/UNLOCK button until
power unit beeps if further button operation is needed (i.e. change of therapy mode or comfort setting) (Fig. 5).
User Guidelines
l
To remove air from the mattress when dismantling the system, use the CPR facility as described below.
l
Talley’s range of pressure relieving mattresses can be used on profiling bed frames, slatted frames, in-filled frames and divans.
l
Back rests or pillows for support should be placed beneath the mattress to allow uninterrupted body contact with the mattress
surface.
Keep bedding beneath the patient to a minimum as this can reduce the pressure relieving qualities of the mattress - a
loose flat sheet is ideal.
CPR FACILITY (Fig. 6):
For rapid deflation of the powered mattress, press the button on the mattress hose connector and pull the
mattress hose away from the power unit to disconnect.
