Arjo · Model AtmosAir Plus
Smooth soft foam top cover air cylinders helps promote patient comfort Durable, waterproof, moisture-vapor permeable cover Sloped heel section with visco elastic foam helps to redistribute pressure away from the vulnerable heel area.
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.
Mattress does not inflate / not firm enough
HighSymptoms: Surface stays soft, air cylinders not filling, patient bottoms out.
Root cause: Self-adjusting-technology (SAT) valves not opened by weight, internal tubing kinked or disconnected, or a hole/damage in the SAT system.
Cover damage / fluid ingress
HighSymptoms: Tears or cracking in the waterproof cover, staining, moisture inside.
Root cause: Wear, sharp objects, or aggressive cleaning; the cover must be intact for the surface to work and to be safe.
Internal air-cylinder / bladder leak
MediumSymptoms: One zone flattens, uneven support, will not hold firmness under load.
Root cause: Perforated or split air cylinder.
Foam top / heel section degradation
LowSymptoms: Loss of the visco-elastic heel offload, compressed or crumbling foam.
Root cause: Age and compression set of the foam.

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 too soft / will not firm up
- Apply weight to the mattress to open the SAT valves; if new, allow up to 24 hours to acclimate to the environment.
- Open the cover and check the internal tubing for loose connectors and kinks.
- Inspect the SAT system for holes or damage.
- If it still will not firm up, contact ArjoHuntleigh - do not attempt repairs beyond the manual.
- Verify firmness under a representative load before returning to a patient.
Symptom: Cover found torn or cracked at cleaning
- Remove the mattress from service - do not use with a compromised cover.
- Check for fluid ingress into the foam/cylinders.
- Fit a new cover of the correct specification.
- Inspect and disinfect the internal components per local protocol.
- Confirm the surface inflates and holds firmness before reissue.

- RECALL
ArjoHuntleigh has received a limited number of customer reports concerning injuries related to an exposed metal support bracket when the proactive knee pad assembly is removed.
- RECALL
Scale could break and fall potentially causing injuries to someone who is on it. There is a potential for the mast scale load cell ssembly to fracture and allow the mast/boom to fall. Should a patient be in the lift at the time, the patient could fall and sustain injuries.
