19. Select desired therapy options:
• Press Prone Direction button to select clockwise
or counterclockwise rotation from supine to prone.
The Prone Direction option determines which
direction the patient surface rotates from supine
to prone. When the patient surface is ready to
return to the supine position from the prone
position, it will always rotate back in the opposite
direction. For example, if clockwise rotation is
selected, the patient surface will rotate from
supine to prone in the clockwise direction. When
directed to return back to supine from prone, the
patient surface will rotate in the counterclockwise direction, so as not to tangle endotracheal
tubing or patient lines. Place vent tubing centered on tube management system or opposite
side from the vent in supine position.
Always rotate the patient surface from the supine position toward the ventilator, to
reduce risk of extubation.
Press Acclimate button to select the Acclimation option.
•
Use the Acclimation option to help the patient adjust to the target rotation angle by beginning
rotation at a lower degree angle, then increasing the degree of rotation in a series of steps until
the target rotation angle is achieved.
Press Next button. The Scale screen will appear.
