Hi, my name is Mike Daniels with Med One Group and today we're going to talk about the Blue Chip
Adapt Pro Elite Mattress. This therapy mattress is designed
for prevention and or treatment up to a stage 4 pressure injury for your patients.
This advanced therapy mattress is a very versatile mattress that's going to work with
a variety of your patients. The mattress comes in different configurations such as 36 inch,
42 inch, and 48 inch bariatric sizes. The mattress offers a variety of functions and versatility,
low air loss, micro-climate advanced patient sensing technology and proven alternating pressure
therapy. The mattress has a weight capacity of 400 pounds and is easy to use on your bed frames.
So let's take a closer look at the mattress.
The mattress cover is a low friction, low shear cover that is also fluid resistant should the
mattress cover become soiled simply use one of your hospital wipes to wipe the mattress down.
Inside of the mattress cover, there are two air chambers that allow the
low air loss to escape out of the mattress. Let's take a closer look inside the mattress,
you'll notice on the inside of the cover is a quilted pattern design this is to enhance
patient comfort. The mattress itself inside is comprised of 20 air sacs and there is an
optional air side bolsters that can be added. The bottom of the mattress is comprised of six
tie down straps and four corner straps to securely fasten the mattress to your bed frame.
The hose assembly has a sealer cap if you're going to transport your patient from one room
to another on the mattress, simply snap on your sealer cap to hold its air inside the mattress.
To connect it to your control unit, simply connect you want to hear a click or snap and connect your
fowler boost cable as well and now you're ready to operate the control unit.
So now let's take a closer look at the features and functions of the control unit.
You want to make sure that your control unit is turned on, you'll find an
on and off switch located underneath the hose assembly flip your switch to on.
You'll hear a series of beeps, locate your standby and operate button and turn on to operate.
You'll notice that an auto firm light begins to flash,
this light will stay on as the mattress begins to fill with air
and when it has reached the proper pressures it will automatically shut off.
The auto firm feature is a great feature to help save your backs during a patient repositioning.
Anytime you need to move your patient, simply push the button the metros will get very firm. It's
easier to move a patient on a firm surface than a soft surface. When you get done repositioning
your patient simply turn the feature off if you forget there's a 20 minute fail safe that will
then turn automatically off and go back to the standard settings. Next to the auto firm feature
is our mode button, this allows you to choose the different therapy modes for your patient.
Simply push the mode button to light up the next section that you would prefer: there is static,
there is alternate, and there is static care.
In the static mode this means that there is no movement underneath the patient from the mattress.
This is still therapeutic as we have pressure redistribution,
if we click the button and go to alternate you'll notice that the timer comes on right away.
This time there's a cycle timer, this means that every 10 minutes the mattress will make
a movement or adjustment underneath the patient to offload that pressure. When the mattress has
been selected for alternating pressure therapy you'll notice that every other air sac inside
the mattress is slightly deflated while the other air sac is completely inflated.
If your patient finds this to be difficult to sleep, you can adjust the timer from 10 minutes
to 15 to 20 to 25 and all the way up to 30. That way the mattress will only make
an adjustment every 30 minutes only twice an hour and allow your patient to rest.
You can also turn it off completely by just pushing your mode key again back to static
Under the mode therapy key the last choice we have is the static care button. The static care button
allows you to temporarily turn off the alternating pressure therapy for your patient while doing a
procedure. After 20 minutes, it will revert back to the preferred alternating pressure therapy.
Next key over is the lockout button, the lockout button allows you to lock out certain features
of the control unit so no other adjustments can be made. To do this simply push the button once
the light will come on and now you are in lockout when you go to make the adjustments again simply
hold the button down for three seconds you're going to hear a beep and the light will go off
and adjustments can then be made. Next you'll notice there's a firm and a soft key,
these are for setting the pressures of the mattress for your patient. In the
middle you'll notice there's an auto detection mode, simply press both keys at the same time,
the light will come on in 15 minutes the mattress will automatically set the optimal
pressure level for your patient. If you prefer to do a manual override refer to the patient weight
guide at the top of the control unit and set the indicator lights accordingly. Just above the soft
and firm keys are our service light section, should anything go wrong with the mattress;
there will be a low pressure alarm, a power failure alarm, or service light that will come on.
In the event of a low pressure alarm, check your air hoses to see if they are connected properly.
In the power failure section, check your electrical cord going to the control unit
or to the wall the lights will flash and there will be a beep. In the event of a service light
that comes on call your local office for help. For this demonstration, I've created a power failure
notice the power failure light is on and there is a chime. Right below that is the alarm silence
button, if you wish simply push the button to silence the alarm. You'll notice just on the side
of the control unit is a black fowler boost cable located just above the hose assembly. This fowler
boost cable allows extra air to be added to the mattress when the head elevation is raised. You'll
get two different codes that show on the screen in the front you'll either see an LL or an LH.
This is normal and this is just simply telling you that the auto fowler has been engaged. To
perform the CPR, function locate the CPR valve located at the head of the mattress
to the right side of the patient. Simply grab your CPR valve pull out slightly and
twist. The air will begin to escape out of the mattress very quickly. Perform your CPR
and your patient. When you've resuscitated your patient, simply close the valve with a half turn
the mattress will begin to inflate with air. This concludes our demonstration of the Blue Chip
Adapt Pro Elite mattress. If you have any questions or if you're interested in
rental options please call your local Med One office. Thanks for watching.
