ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS, Continued
6. While the SOFFLEX 2 Mattress is still unloaded, insert a Deflation Adapter into each
Inflation Port Valve and allow air to bleed out of each section until the internal air
pressure reaches atmospheric pressure.
Note: You will know when the atmospheric
adjustment is completed when no additional air is escaping from the Inflation Valve Port.
This will take approximately five (5) minutes. Once completed, remove the Deflation
Adapters by pressing the Inflation Port Tab located on each Inflation Port Valve. Place
the Deflation Adapters into the storage holes.
7. Place the individual on the SOFFLEX 2 Mattress in their normal lying position (e.g. on
their back or side). Add or remove additional amounts of air from any section to insure
the individual is comfortable and immersed into the SOFFLEX 2 Mattress.
Notes:
• Proper immersion is achieved when the individual has sunk into the product so the air
cells envelop and support their body; diagrams above show examples of proper immersion
into the SOFFLEX 2 Mattress.
• The lowest bony prominence may be gently touching the foam.
• Adjustments may be needed if the position of the head or foot of the bed are changed.
• A SOFFLEX 2 Mattress that has been properly adjusted may appear under-inflated when
unoccupied; this is because the individual’s body mass is no longer loading the product.
8. Snap in place the Inflation Port
flap over the Inflation Port and
be sure that the cover side flap
is down and snapped concealing
the cover’s zipper.
Confirm:
• Product has been set up according to the directional arrows on the cover.
• Product is appropriate for the bed frame.
• Straps on the cover are secured to the bed frame when the product is in use.
• All enclosure flaps are down and snapped.
• Individual is properly immersed. (See ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS).
