Before you start
Unpack the ripple mattress and pump carefully. Check that the air tubes are present and that the mattress surface has no visible damage. Place the mattress on the bed before connecting the patient to the setup.
Setup steps

- Connect the air tubes from the mattress to the pump.
- Place or hang the pump where it will not fall.
- Plug in the pump and switch it on.
- Allow the mattress to inflate before use.
- Adjust pressure for comfort after the patient is positioned.
Daily checks
Check that the pump is running, the tubes are not kinked and the mattress feels inflated. Listen for unusual pump sounds and inspect the patient’s skin every day. If the patient complains of discomfort, review the pressure setting and bedding arrangement.
Cleaning and safety
Switch off and unplug the pump before cleaning around it. Wipe the mattress surface with a damp cloth and mild cleaner, then dry it before covering. Keep liquids away from the pump and avoid sharp objects near the air cells.
