Invacare Softform Active 2 User guide

  • Hello! I'm a chat assistant that has read the Quick Guide for Invacare's Softform Active 2 with RX pump. This document details how to install and operate the mattress system, including its control unit functions, CPR procedures, and troubleshooting steps. I'm ready to answer your questions about this product, such as interpreting the different indicator lights or alarm sounds, and the recommended operating procedures.
  • What does the flashing red LED on the control unit indicate?
    How do I mute the audible alarm?
    What should I do in case of a power failure?
