Power cuts: Series6 OneSurface™ – How long will the air cells retain their pressure?

With the pump connected?

Only temporarily. Air slowly seeps out through the pump and is lost. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on what “firmness” setting the product was in, and where in its cycle it was interrupted. To maximise patient support and comfort during power interruptions, simply disconnect the mattress air lines at the control unit, or at the mattress port. In either case, the air system in the mattress will reset to its ideal non-powered inflation level.

With the pump disconnected and the transport cap in place?

The OSKA Series6 OneSurface™ is designed to facilitate patient transport. For transport when the powered control unit is in use, simply disconnect the air lines from the control unit and reconnect when patient has reached destination. In the non-powered mode, no action is required.

NOTE: Transport cap is not intended for use with OSKA Series6 OneSurface™
