InstallationBefore using the Bari-Breeze mattress replacement system, remove any other mattress from the bed.

1. When installing the Bari-Breeze mattress, place the mattress directly on the bed frame.

Make sure that the tubeset end of the mattress is at the foot end of the bed.

2. There are sixteen nylon black straps with buckles on the base of the mattress. Loop each strap around the bed frame and fasten it securely to the bed frame using the buckle.

3. Open the hooks on the back of the pump and suspend the pump from the bed foot rail. If the bed you are using does not have a foot rail, place the pump upright on its base on a flat surface underneath the bed near the foot of the bed frame.

Static ModeMax FlowPressing the Max Flow button sets the pump to maximum flow, fully inflating the mattress and overriding the comfort control. This feature is only available in static mode.If pressed during Turn mode, it will revert the system to Static mode and return the patient to a central position.Max Flow inflates the mattress to maximum pressure for 15 minutes. A blue indicator on the button will show when it is active and an is shown in the LED display.

SAFETY SIDESRegarding the use of safety sides, always refer to your local trust policy AND the product instructions for use.

Note:

Note: Attach the mattress to the movable parts of the bed only.

4. Plug the mains power cord into the pump. Insert the mains power plug into a suitable mains power socket.

5. Securely attach the pump connector onto the pump until it clicks, and make sure the air plug for the side bolsters and base air pad is secure.

6. If not already fitted, place the protective cover over the mattress and secure in position. Make sure the ArjoHuntleigh logo is uppermost and at the foot end of the mattress.

Cable ManagementMake sure that the mains power cable is positioned to avoid causing a trip or other hazard, and is clear of moving bed mechanisms or other possible entrapment areas.

Initial Power UpPress the power/standby button to turn the pump on. An audible beep will sound. The system will go into a start up cycle for 30 seconds, during which time the pump will rapidly inflate the mattress. During this process the 7 segment display will alternate between ‘b‘ and ‘f‘ to indicate bolster fill.

Once the mattress is fully inflated and with the patient in position, adjust the comfort controls to the desired level.Adjust if necessary to make sure the patient does not sink through to the base air pad.

Recommended Pressure SettingsFor extra firm support during patient handling or nursing procedures, it is recommended to set the mattress pressure to maximum by pressing Max Flow.When the backrest is raised and the patient is in a semi-recumbent position, it is recommended to press the Max Flow button to increase the pressure/comfort level accordingly to make sure the patient does not bottom out.

Side rails

Pull the blue release lever (2) to lower the side rail.To raise the side rail, hold onto either side rail handle (1) and pull the side rail up and away from the bed until it locks in the raised position.

Hold the side of the calf section frame and manually lift the calf section upwards (1) until it latches in the horizontal (vascular) position (2). Use the caregiver controls or ACP to lower the thigh section to the angled (Fowler) position.

Calf section adjustment

Pull the red manual CPR lever located on either side of the bed to quickly lower the backrest.

CPR backrest release

Locking head and foot boardsThe head and foot boards can each be fitted with optional locking catches (1) to prevent accidental removal. To unlock a board: pull out the blue catches (2) and rotate them a quarter-turn (3); the board can now be lifted off the bed.

Apply the brakes. Remove the head board from the bed.Pull the knob (1) to release the catch and slide the tray out (2) as far as will go.

Release the knob to hold the tray in the fully open position (3). Position the X-ray cassette (4) on the tray with its bottom edge against the lip at the foot end of the tray.Pull the knob and slide the tray underneath the backrest. Release the knob to hold the tray in one of the latching positions.

CATEGORY/STAGE I: Nonblanchable ErythemaIntact skin with non-blanchable redness of a localized area usually over a bony prominence. Darkly pigmented skin may not have visible blanching; its color may differ from the surrounding area.The area may be painful, firm, soft, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue. Category/Stage I may be difficult to detect in individuals with dark skin tones. May indicate “at risk” individuals (a heralding sign of risk).

CATEGORY/STAGE II: Partial Thickness Skin LossPartial thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red pink wound bed, without slough. May also present as an intact or open/ruptured serum-filled blister.Presents as a shiny or dry shallow ulcer without slough or bruising.* This Category/Stage should not be used to describe skin tears, tape burns, perineal dermatitis, maceration or excoriation.*Bruising indicates suspected deep tissue injury.

CATEGORY/STAGE III: Full Thickness Skin LossFull thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon or muscle are not exposed. Slough may be present but does not obscure the depth of tissue loss. May include undermining and tunneling.The depth of a Category/Stage III pressure ulcer varies by anatomical location. The bridge of the nose, ear, occiput and malleolus do not have subcutaneous tissue and Category/Stage III ulcers can be shallow. In contrast, areas of significant adiposity can develop extremely deep Category/Stage III pressure ulcers. Bone/tendon is not visible or directly palpable

CATEGORY/STAGE IV: Full Thickness Tissue LossFull thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon or muscle. Slough or eschar may be present on some parts of the wound bed. Often include undermining and tunneling.The depth of a Category/Stage IV pressure ulcer varies by anatomical location. The bridge of the nose, ear, occiput and malleolus do not have subcutaneous tissue and these ulcers can be shallow. Category/Stage IV ulcers can extend into muscle and/or supporting structures (e.g., fascia, tendon or joint capsule) making osteomyelitis possible. Exposed bone/tendon is visible or directly palpable.

UNSTAGEABLE: Depth UnknownFull thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered by slough (yellow, tan, gray, green or brown) and/or eschar (tan, brown or black) in the wound bed.Until enough slough and/or eschar is removed to expose the base of the wound, the true depth, and therefore Category/Stage, cannot be determined. Stable (dry, adherent, intact without erythema or fluctuance) eschar on the heels serves as ‘the body’s natural (biological) cover’ and should not be removed.

SUSPECTED DEEP TISSUE INJURY: Depth UnknownPurple or maroon localized area of discoloured intact skin or blood-filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue from pressure and/or shear. The area may be preceded by tissue that is painful, firm, mushy, boggy, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue.Deep tissue injury may be difficult to detect in individuals with dark skin tones. Evolution may include a thin blister over a dark wound bed. The wound may further evolve and become covered by thin eschar. Evolution may be rapid exposing additional layers of tissue even with optimal treatment.

FOAM SUPPORT SURFACE TESTING

MRF-69

Why test foam mattress replacements? • If continually subjected to load, foam support surfaces can suffer a reduction in performance over time due to compression

• If the cover material is compromised in any way the core is vulnerable to the ingress of fluids and poses an infection control risk

• Whilst an effective turning regime and regular inspections will help prevent compression, it is vital that regular tests are carriedout and recorded in order to verify the condition of the mattress and ensure patients are properly supported at all times

NOTE: To facilitate effective testing the date that each mattress is installed must be recorded clearly on the cover. Thisinformation is a guide only, the responsibility for the final decision regarding the condition of the mattress lies with the auditors.Whenever possible, a Tissue Viability Nurse and an Infection Control Nurse should be present during the audit.

How is the test performed?1. Record Mattress Details

• Note the age of the mattress

• Manufacturer

• Rental / trial or purchased equipment

2. Cover material integrity and condition

The cover material should be examined in the following way:

• Unzip the cover, check for staining, moisture and odourboth inside and out

• Check for delamination and splitting including zips andseams

• Any PVC covers should be removed in accordance with the Kings Fund recommendation, 1998

If damage or staining on the INSIDE of the cover is found, the entire mattress (core and cover) should be condemnedimmediately. If staining to the outside of the cover is found,only the cover must be replaced (after careful checking of thefoam core, see below)

3. Foam Core testing

Fist test to assess compressionThe test is designed to assess whether the foam core hascompressed over time, increasing the possibility of the patientbottoming out. With the cover in place and fully zipped:

• Join hands together, with straight arms forming a fist (seefigure 1)

• With the mattress at hip level, push down using full bodyweight

• Repeat the test in the areas indicated in figure 2

• If the base of the mattress can be felt through the foam(bottoming out) the mattress should be removed for further

investigation

NOTE: If a patient has been lying on the mattress prior to thetest, at least three minutes recovery time is required before thetorso section can be tested.

Foam Core Contamination

Fully examine the foam for any staining, splitting, odour ordampness. If ANY of these are found the mattress should becondemned immediately to avoid an infection control risk.

30° TILT

MRF-71

The patient’s lower back should be supportedwith pillows. The lower pillow can be bunchedor folded if necessary.

Another pillow is placed beneath the others,with the corner carefully positioned under thebuttock to ‘tilt’ the body and lift clear the ischialtuberosities and sacrum.

The patient should lie in the centre of thebed with adequate pillows to support thehead and neck.

Patient in full recumbent '30° tilt’ position.

Add a pillow to give support to the lumbarregion and shoulder. This ‘tilts’ the patientby 30° and lifts the sacrum clear of themattress. Check with your hand that thesacrum clears the mattress.

Support both legs by placing pillows lengthways, ensuring that heels are kept lifted fromthe bed surface.

REMEMBER1. Always explain the whole procedure to the patient, prior to repositioning and

throughout, to reassure them.2. Confirm that the patient is comfortable and check their position frequently.3. The '30° tilt’ is useful for patient comfort and pressure reduction over high risk

areas. It should be used as an aid to, not in place of, an appropriate pressurereducing support surface/mattress.

REMEMBER1. The use of electric profiling beds will

assist in the management of patientpositioning.

Patient in complete semi-recumbent '30° tilt’position.

The legs must be supported in the samemanner as fig 3 and 4 of the Recumbentposition. It is important that the heels are clearand the feet are in the correct position.
