Yes it should inflate back to the original settings. Sometimes there is an auto inflate button to help with transfers. This button inflates mattress to firm and then defaults to original settings. If you don't have that function, the mattress can take a while to inflate. Keep in mind the size of the pump will determine how fast it will inflate also. Hope this helps.

You're welcome!

We are very glad to hear that!

This is not a “Low Air Loss Mattress. Trust me, I had to learn the hard way!

Depending on the model, some do have a 3" underlayer to keep the user from bottoming out during a power failure. Most pressure relieving mattresses do deflate when there's a power failure. This is due to whether they're a true low air loss and the constant air forced through holes in the bladders to keep the skin dry. The other type would be an alternating pressure mattress. This pump will fill one bladder while deflating the other. This mattress is the most commonly used. They both require the pumps to be on to keep the air flowing, even when in static or auto firm mode. Best to check with your DME company supplying the equipment.

Yes it will deflate!!

Thank you for your question and we will try to help. Yes, the regulator is triggered by the patient's inspiratory pressure and should provide a bolus of oxygen with each breathe. If the gauge on the tank is not moving then we can only assume that the patient is not triggering the regulator and it should be checked by the patient's provider of oxygen services. It also could be a faulty tank. This is only our opinion based on the info provided and the provider of services should be consulted in reference to this question. And Happy Belated Mother's Day to you if appropriate.

That depends significantly on which mattress you're talking about. A true low air loss mattress has a large compressor and can inflate in minutes. An alternating one, or the simpler support surfaces can take much longer due to the smaller compressors. Thanks for the question!

Great to hear! You're welcome!

We are so happy to hear that!

The longer the tube the more medication is lost by sticking to the walls of the tube. As close as possible to the trach using the shortest tube like in this video is better

Hi! You're correct, the low air loss mattress cover is specially designed. It has moisture wicking properties, along with non-shearing for less friction. Also if it is a true low air loss mattress, it will help keep the user's skin dry with the forced air through the tiny holes in the air bladders. Thanks for the comment!

Hi there! Sorry for the late reply, but for this question you should reach out to whoever set up the equipment for you. Hopefully they can help you!

That’s how we’ve always done it.

Sorry we don't carry Meridian support surfaces. But most of the systems are similar. I would first power off and then power on the pump. Check for leaks in the mattress and kinked tubing. If the mattress and tubing is okay. Check for air flow out of the pump with the tubing disconnected. If there is air coming out of the pump. Check to see if there is a filter on the exterior of the pump. Usually more common on the bigger units, due to larger compressor and more air flow. If there is a filter, make sure clean. This can inhibit the pump from working correctly. Again filters are not on all systems. Hopefully this helps.

See if you can call the manufacturer or TH-cam instructions I hope my suggestion was useful

@@rafaelabrito8591 I was able to return the pump for another. Thankfully my wife no longer needed the bed after late June 2022. She was on hospice until then but recovered!!

did you try to switch the mattress and see if that prevented sores? I ask because the care in most of those places is not very good and many tend to stay in bed which may have been a bigger contributer to the sore?

@@tex959 The medical care there is good. I got a foam mattress overlay for $30 and put it on the air mattress beneath the fitted sheet, she’s had no issues since then. The foam overlay is about 30 mm thick.

@@aussie8114 Thanks for your reply!! an specific brand of foam overlay.. Not sure If I can get the same brand, here in the states.

@@tex959 I got it from Target store here. You have Target stores I think. Or you could get it from any foam shop. It is not memory foam, it’s just simple open cell foam. Flat on one side with bumps on the other side. Looking online it looks like one your Target store would sell called 1.25 inch foam mattress topper - room essentials. About $25. You can cut it with scissors to suit the size you need.

@@aussie8114 Thanks for all the help!

Hi! It sounds like the device is working, but its kind of hard to tell why the 02 sats are dropping. Sounds like this is more of a clinical question for a physician. However, if you're in the Baltimore area, bring it by and we will take a look at it.

Sorry for the delay in responding. It should always be powered on to keep mattress inflated and to alternate cycles. Settings are adjusted to weight and sometimes cycle length or function depending on unit. This would include static, auto firm, alternating pressure and low air loss. Again, this depends on model of the unit.

Hi Jeff, we'd like to refer you to the manufacturer's brochure. Here is the link www.precisionmedical.com/media/1191/easypulse-oxygen-conserving-regulator-flyer.pdf

Hi Jen, currently we at Bay View do not provide a heated unit for the Air Compressor, and it is not recommended in the home environment. A Heat Moisture Exchanger may be added for a trach set-up.

If you want heated humidification, You might want to talk to the Dr. about ordering a Heated set up. That way a heater wire humidification system can be added. This would allow humidification to be administered at a set temperature, and the condensation wouldn't be as bad. I always preferred Heated wire humidification when I use to get off the vent and used the Trach collar, or The T-Piece, but now that I am on the ventilator only, I have a heater wire humidifier in the ventilator circuit!

Hi Mary, What brand and model mattress do you have? Some require maintenance with filter cleaning on the pump. Other things to look at first would also be the cpr pull and make sure that it is secured tight.

You need to get a TRUE Low Air loss mattress. This guy is wrong, saying this is one.

That particular pump is what we refer to as an alternating pressure support system. While one chamber fills with air, the other chamber deflates. So, yes the pump cycles between the two holes with air coming out of one hole at a time. Hope that answers your question!

@@bayviewhomecare213 thank you for responding and answering

Right. My thoughts exactly. This will work if the patient is not on continuous oxygen but what if they are?

If your source of O2 can go to 5L or higher you can forgo the Nebulizer and and just use the oxygen. If not then there is a piece you can add to bleed in oxygen. You need to speak to your RT or Dr.

You just need a T piece to connect your oxygen with your SVN

Hi Lisa, the nebulizer kits can be purchased from your local home medical equipment company. We are located in Baltimore, MD so I'm not sure of any places to refer you to.

Go thru your doctor

You're welcome, Stacey!

You're welcome!

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, you do need to keep the pump on all night while in use.

Sorry the video wasn't helpful to you. Try giving us a call for detailed steps!

There is an oxygen enrichment adapter added between the large volume nebulizer bottle and the corrugated tubing. The adapter can also be added closer to the patient. Hope that helps!

@@bayviewhomecare213 what is the adapter called? Can you post a picture of it.

@@kathyr7156 Hi, it's called an oxygen enrichment adapter.

You're welcome!

You are welcome

You're welcome! Please reach out if you need any other information about the equipment.

You're welcome! Let us know if you have any other questions about our equipment.

i realize it's pretty randomly asking but does anybody know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?

@Tripp Justice lately I have been using flixzone. Just google for it =)
