1. Giriş
The APEX Domus 4 Anti-Decubitus Mattress with Compressor is designed to provide effective pressure redistribution and relief for patients at high risk of developing pressure ulcers, or for the treatment of existing pressure ulcers up to Grade IV. This system aims to improve patient comfort and quality of life by preventing and managing skin breakdown associated with prolonged bed rest.
This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your Domus 4 system. Please read it thoroughly before use to ensure safe and effective operation.
2. Önemli Güvenlik Bilgileri
Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical products, especially when children are present. To reduce the risk of electrocution, burns, fire, or injury to persons:
- Read all instructions before using the mattress system.
- Do not operate the compressor if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged.
- Kabloyu sıcak yüzeylerden uzak tutun.
- Hava girişlerini kapatmayın veya hava girişlerinin kapanabileceği yumuşak bir yüzeye koymayın.
- Açık havada kullanmayınız ve aerosol (sprey) ürünlerinin kullanıldığı veya oksijen verilen yerlerde çalıştırmayınız.
- Ensure the mattress is placed on a stable, flat bed frame.
- Regularly inspect the mattress and compressor for any signs of wear or damage.
- Consult a healthcare professional for appropriate patient positioning and care.
3. Sistem Bileşenleri
The APEX Domus 4 system consists of the following main components:
- Alternating Pressure Mattress: Composed of individual air cells that inflate and deflate in an alternating pattern to redistribute pressure.
- Kompresör Ünitesi: The pump that inflates and deflates the air cells, controlling the pressure and cycle time.
- Antimicrobial Cover: A protective, vapor-permeable, water-resistant, and flame-retardant cover for the mattress.
- Hava Hortumları: Connect the compressor to the mattress.
- CPR Valve: A quick-release valve for rapid deflation in emergency situations.
- Transport Plug: Used to maintain air in the mattress during patient transport or power outagee.

4. Kurulum Talimatları
Follow these steps to set up your APEX Domus 4 Anti-Decubitus Mattress system:
- Yatak çerçevesini hazırlayın: Place the mattress on a standard bed frame. Ensure the bed frame is clean and free of sharp objects that could damage the mattress.
- Şilteyi açın: Carefully unroll the mattress on the bed frame with the air cell side facing up. Ensure the air hoses are positioned towards the foot end of the bed.
- Secure the Mattress: Use the adjustment straps located on the underside of the mattress to secure it to the bed frame, preventing slippage.
- Connect the Compressor: Hang the compressor unit securely at the foot end of the bed using its integrated hangers.
- Hava Hortumlarını Bağlayın: Connect the air hoses from the mattress to the air outlets on the compressor unit. Ensure a secure and tight connection.
Figure 4.1: Demonstrates connecting the air hoses from the mattress to the compressor unit.
- Plug in the Compressor: Plug the compressor's power cord into a grounded electrical outlet (AC 220-240V, 50 Hz).
- Initial Inflation: Turn on the compressor using the On/Off button. The mattress will begin to inflate. Allow approximately 20-30 minutes for the mattress to fully inflate and stabilize before placing a patient on it.
5. Kullanım Talimatları
5.1. Kontrol Paneli Üzerindeview
The compressor unit features a control panel for adjusting settings and monitoring system status. Refer to the labels on your specific unit for exact button functions.
5.2. Basınç Ayarı
Adjust the pressure setting based on the patient's weight. The compressor allows for pressure range adjustment for patients weighing between 40 kg and 200 kg. Use the pressure adjustment dial or buttons on the compressor to select the appropriate setting for optimal pressure redistribution.
5.3. Therapy Modes
The Domus 4 offers three therapy modes:
- Alternating Pressure Mode: This is the primary mode, where air cells inflate and deflate in an alternating cycle (typically 10 minutes) to continuously redistribute pressure and stimulate blood flow.
- Statik Mod: In this mode, all air cells remain inflated to a constant pressure, providing a firm, stable surface. This mode is useful for patient transfers or when a stable surface is temporarily required.
- Anti-Shearing Mode: This mode helps reduce shearing forces on the patient's skin, often by slightly reducing pressure in certain areas or adjusting cell inflation patterns.
5.4. Özel İşlevler
- Max Firm: This function inflates all cells to maximum firmness, useful for patient care activities like dressing changes or transfers.
- Panel Kilidi: Activates a lock function on the control panel to prevent accidental changes to settings.
- Taşıma modu: When the compressor is disconnected, the mattress can maintain air for a period using the transport plug. Insert the transport plug into the air hose connection point on the mattress to seal the air within the cells.

- CPR Function: In an emergency requiring CPR, pull the red CPR valve to rapidly deflate the mattress, providing a firm surface for resuscitation.

7. Sorun Giderme
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your Domus 4 system.
| Sorun | Olası Neden | Çözüm |
|---|---|---|
| Mattress not inflating or losing air. | Air hoses not securely connected. Compressor not powered on. Leak in mattress or hoses. CPR valve open. | Ensure hoses are tightly connected. Check power cord and On/Off switch. Inspect mattress and hoses for punctures; repair if possible or contact support. Ensure CPR valve is closed. |
| Compressor making unusual noise. | Compressor unit not stable. İç arıza. | Ensure compressor is hung securely and not vibrating against a surface. If noise persists, discontinue use and contact support. |
| Alarms sounding (Low Pressure, Power Failure, System Fault). | Low pressure: Leak or patient weight exceeding capacity. Power failure: Power disconnected. System fault: Internal error. | Check for leaks, adjust pressure setting. Ensure power cord is connected. For system fault, restart unit; if alarm persists, contact support. |
| Mattress feels too firm or too soft. | Incorrect pressure setting for patient weight. | Adjust the pressure setting on the compressor unit according to the patient's weight (40-200 kg range). |
