 Troubleshooting 

BI-PAP or C-PAP Machine
There is no display on the machine

  1. The power cord should be connected to the machine and plugged in.

  2. The switch should be in the ON position, located at the back of the machine.

There is not enough air pressure from the PAP unit

  1. Ramp time could be in use; wait for the air pressure to build.

  2. Clean or replace the air filter if needed.

  3. Check the air tubing to see if it is kinked or punctured.

  4. Check to see if the air tubing is connected properly. Re-connect if necessary.

  5. Check the mask and make sure it is positioned on the patients face properly and you have the correct size mask.

Full/Semi Electric
Bed frame the remote is not functioning

  2. The cord from the remote must be attached to the control unit located under the bed.

The bed sounds as though it is working, but will not move

  1. Unplug the bed from the outlet to reset the bed.

  2. The cord from the remote must be attached to the control unit located under the bed.

Joerns Low Bed
Will not raise or lower

  1. Unplug the bed from the outlet to reset the bed.

  2. The cord from the remote must be attached to the control unit located under the bed.

When raising the head of the bed the power shuts off

  1. Make sure the bed is pulled away from the wall a few inches to leave clearance for raising and lowering the bed. In the lowest setting, the bed frame may sit below most outlet receptacles. If this is the case and the bed is pushed too close to the wall; when the bed is lowered it may unplug or cut the power cord

Bed Frames Anchor
Air Mattress
Mattress is deflating

  1. The power button must be set to “on”.

  2. Unplug the mattress to reset.

  3. If unit is not powering on, use a different wall outlet and check to make sure that the power cord is attached to the pump.

  4. Check that the tubing is connected securely at both ends between the mattress and pump.

  5. Check the firmness/comfort setting and adjust if mattress is too soft or firm.

  6. If the patient has been using the mattress for over a month, the filter may be dirty and needs to be cleaned. The filter is located on the back of the unit (on top or next to the air tube connection). Remove the filter and wash with warm water

​

   *THE FILTER MUST BE DRY BEFORE PUTTING IT BACK INTO THE MACHINE.

HUNTLEIGH DFS2
Mattress is deflating

  1. Unit power button should be set to the on position.

  2. Check the tube set that runs from the unit to the mattress. Make sure the connection clip is securely fastened at both ends. The connection clip should be locked in position, and should not move. If the tube is loose, a gentle push should lock it into place; you will hear a clicking sound.

  3. Check the Transport/Normal dial on the mattress itself. This dial should always be set to NORMAL. If it is set on transport, the alternating pressure function will cease and it will only stay inflated for about 13 hours. The air will slowly leak out during this time and will not re-inflate until it is set to normal.

  4. Unzip the mattress and check the inner tubing near the CPR. If it is unplugged, reconnect the tubing.

 
ALARM IS SOUNDING, BUT MATTRESS IS FULLY INFLATED​

  1. Check the tubing for kinks and be sure nothing is resting on the tubing.
