Aeria Bmat

quick set up guide
5 Insert the power cord into the
control unit, then plug into power
outlet and switch on mains power.
1 Remove all bedding
from your mattress.
2 Unpack overlay and place on
top of mattress (material side
upwards; air hoses towards
bed base). Tuck end flaps under
mattress ends to secure. Ensure no cell sections are
tucked beneath mattress. Overlay will compress once
inflated.
3 Hang the control unit over
bed end using inbuilt rear
hanging hooks or place on a
stable surface (ie floor beneath
the bed). Overlay can be rotated
180 degrees as required.
4 Attach air hoses to the control
unit, pressing firmly to ensure
both connectors ‘click’ into place.
Straighten any twists to ensure
uninterrupted air flow between
control unit and mattress. Also
ensure hoses are not trapped
between overlay and bed.

6 Turn the control unit Pressure
dial to maximum and switch on
(the switch illuminates to indicate
power is on). Allow up to 20
minutes for complete inflation.
The patient may lie on the system
during inflation however the
overlay will fill faster if allowed
to inflate first.
7 Once overlay is inflated, bedding can be replaced.
Secure sheets loosely enough to ensure they do not
interfere with overlay alternation.
8 When patient is lying comfortably, turn the Pressure
dial to reach the desired setting for effective patient
comfort and support. After lowering, always check the
system is working effectively – failure to do so could
cause injury. Wait at least 3-5 minutes as the system
may take a full cycle to adjust to the new pressure
setting.

system overview
The Aeria Bmat offers low risk patients a practical
alternative to static pressure care. 130 alternating touch
points gently stimulate the skin’s surface, encouraging
increased blood flow and circulation across high-risk areas.
For basic care and cleaning, wipe down with warm water
containing detergent (do not machine wash the overlay).
For infection control, swab with a solution of sodium
hypochlorite or similar (up to 10,000ppm available
chlorine). Allow to dry thoroughly before use.

treatment of skin breakdown and pressure ulcers in
