Therapies - Arjohuntleigh citadel Instructions For Use Manual

Patient Turn is not available when fowler angle is above 30°
or any side rail is down. It is recommended that turning only
be initiated when bed is level and thigh and calf sections are
down.
The actual angle of rotation achieved by a patient is
dependent on many factors including: patient weight,
patient weight distributions, pressure settings and patient
positioning on the mattress surface. 20° is the target turn
angle, but will not be achieved by all patients based on the
variables mentioned above.

Therapies

Continuous Patient Turn - continuously rotates the patient 20° right, center,
then 20° left pausing at each position for the set hold time. In order to activate
this function, all side rails must be up and the fowler angle must be less than
30°. If any side rail is lowered or the fowler angle is increased to above 30°,
this function will be cancelled. Press the Continuous Patient Turn button to
cancel therapy; this function will not automatically time out.
Rotation therapies are not available when fowler angle is
above 30° or any side rail is down. It is recommended that
turning only be initiated when bed is level and thigh and calf
sections are down.

Alternating Pressure / Pulsation
Alternating Pressure - fills every second cell of a cushion to a target
pressure while the others are deflated to near zero pressure. This state is
held for a period of time and then the deflated cells are inflated to a selected
pressure. Once achieved, the other cells are deflated to near zero and this
state is held for a period of time. The total time taken to complete this is one
cycle.
Pulsation - fills every second cushion to a target pressure while the others
are deflated to a slightly lower pressure. Once this is achieved, it is held for a
period of time and then the deflated cells are inflated to the target pressure.
Once achieved, the other cells are deflated to a slightly lower pressure and
this is held for a period of time. The total time taken to complete this is one
cycle. Cycle times and intensity are selectable by the user. Intensity settings
for each therapy are described below:
