9. OPERATION 9.1. Environmental Limits When in Operation The following conditions should be followed when operating the dynamic mattress system: • Ambient temperature: +5°C to +40°C. • Humidity: 15-93%, non-condensing. • Atmospheric pressure: 700 hPa to 1060 hPa 9.2. Preparing For Use Prior to patient usage of the dynamic mattress system the following must be performed: • Ensure the bed and mattress system are at room temperature.
9.5.1. Turning On / Off Hold the button down until an audible signal sounds for a brief period. The screen illuminates. Welcome to Sidhil Artemis Automatic Support Surface Initializing..Please wait until ready The system will be ready for use after an initial inflation period of 20minutes. Once the mattress is fully inflated the panel will instruct the user that the system is ready for use and a short audible signal will sound.
9.5.2.2. Patient Weight and Pressure When the system is determining the patient weight the control unit is also calculating the optimum pressure level for that weight of patient. The process occurs every 60 minutes or when the control unit detects a significant change in weight. The detection works by increasing the pressure in all cells to maximum and then decreasing them to the lowest possible supportive pressure where the patient weight is at its heaviest (i.e.
9.5.3.2. Mute The audio visual signal activates if a fault is detected. To silence the audible signal the ‘mute’ button is pressed. When the system is muted the screen shows: ****MATTRESS DISCONNECT**** MUTE Please make sure the connector is securely fastened. (note, fault shown is an example only) Re-pressing the mute button reactivates the audible signal.
3) Pulsation: Creates tissue stimulus by alternately increasing and decreasing the cell pressure of the constant low pressure mode by 20% in each direction. When using the pulsation setting, to return to alternating it is necessary to manually reselect alternating from the therapy menu, it will not automatically default back. 4) Max inflate: Inflates the cells to maximum pressure (40mmHg) to provide a stable, static support surface.
