Amico Powered Therapeutic Mattress
Amico · Model Powered Therapeutic Mattress
Vented cushions for low air loss therapy preventing moisture build-up Microclimate management increases air flow and circulation 16 cell overlay allows for even distribution of patient’s weight and maximizes pressure relief Anatomical uninterrupted pressure distribution Easy to set up and clean Lightweight design with handles allows for effortless transport and storage Lock-out key prevents tampering of patient settings and power switch Accommodates patient weight of up to 500 lbs (226.8 kg)
Key tips
- ·Casters and the wheel-lock brake take the most day-to-day wear - check both every PM, not just on complaint.
- ·A cracked weld or loose frame joint is a safety-critical finding - pull the unit from service until it's repaired.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Pump will not inflate the mattress
HighSymptoms: Surface stays flat, pump runs but no pressure, or pump does not run.
Root cause: Blower/pump fault, a hose disconnect or kink, or a power fault.
One cell / zone stays flat
MediumSymptoms: Localised loss of support, uneven surface.
Root cause: Perforated air cell or a failed cell connector.
Low-air-loss / microclimate management weak
MediumSymptoms: Patient feels damp, little airflow through the vented cushions.
Root cause: Air filter clogged or blower output low.
Slow CPR / rapid deflation
MediumSymptoms: Surface does not deflate quickly when the CPR control is used.
Root cause: CPR dump valve or the connecting hose.

- ·Annual full PM
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Mattress will not inflate
- Confirm mains power and that the lock-out key allows the power switch to operate.
- Check the supply hose connections and inspect for kinks.
- Confirm the pump runs and produces airflow.
- Replace the pump if it runs without output.
- Verify the surface inflates and holds pressure under a representative load.
Symptom: One zone stays flat
- Identify the flat cell and disconnect it.
- Inflate it in isolation and check for a leak.
- Replace the perforated cell or its connector.
- Reconnect and confirm even inflation.
- Check the cover for a tear that could have caused it.
