Care of Sweden CuroCell S.A.M. PRO User Manual page 9

NOTE:
• When the head end of the bed is raised, the pressure should be increased by 25 kg.
• When only part of the mattress is under load, e.g. for amputee users, the pressure
should be increased (by 1–2 steps). Then perform a hand check (see section 3.4).
• The recommended user weight is up to 250 kg.
3.4 Hand check, checking the set pressure
Hand check is used to ensure that the mattress is working
properly. This should be done regularly, once per shift, after
changing the position in the bed or changing the comfort
setting.
Open the cover. Place a flat hand under the air cells directly
underneath the user's pelvic region and make sure that the
user does not lay directly on the underlying mattress. We
recommend that there should be about a finger's thickness to
the underlying mattress.
If the margin is too great or too small, you need to increase or decrease the comfort settings to
the next highest or lowest step. Wait 10 minutes and perform a new hand check.
3.5 CPR
In case of an emergency where CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is
necessary: Quickly pull the CPR strap on the air tubes between the pump
and the mattress. Detach the quick connectors on the side of the pump,
for even faster deflation.
NOTE: Make sure that the CPR connector is properly connected after use.
3.6 Low pressure
If there is abnormally low air pressure, see section 7 for Troubleshooting.
3.7 Transport function
Detach both the tubes from the pump and connect these together; this will put the mattress in
"Transport mode". We recommend that this function only be used for a short period of time.
Note:
If the air pressure remains low, search for damage on the mattress and the tubes. Repair
when needed or contact the supplier.
