Therapy Mattress And Specialty Surface Features; Additional Features - Joerns Dolphin Fluid Immersion Simulation System User & Service Manual

• Joerns recommends that caregivers allow
the Dolphin FIS System to set and control the
immersion profile. However, to accommodate
individual patient preference, caregivers may use the
Comfort Adjust arrows to manually adjust comfort
settings. It is recommended that manual adjustments
of more than one (1) LED step up or down from the
system profile be avoided.
Note: The Dolphin FIS System automatically adjusts
the neutral buoyant immersion profile based on
individual patient characteristics. The Comfort
Adjust feature is designed to allow for individual
patient comfort preferences. Should the patient
request adjustment due to bed articulation, such as
head of bed elevation, this may be accomplished
by increasing the Comfort Adjust indicator up or
down incrementally one LED. Care should be taken
to minimize adjustments and allow the System to
control the therapy surface's optimal profile.
Note (applies to therapy mattress): If patient is
over 250 lbs. (113.6 Kg), moving the Comfort Adjust
indicator to one LED above the Auto Feedback LED
may improve comfort. If patient is less than 100 lbs.
(45.4 Kg), moving the Comfort Adjust indicator to
one LED below Auto Feedback LED may improve
comfort.
• Autofirm mode may be desirable for patient transfer
and other patient care procedures. The system will
automatically return to the previous setting after
approximately 15 minutes.
• An alarm will sound and LED will illuminate in the
event of a fault condition (see Alarm fault conditions;
p.8).
• The rechargeable battery back-up will provide
alternate power to the control unit for approximately
12 hours in the event that the system is
disconnected or during a power failure. The battery
will begin to recharge when power is restored.
Note: The Storage Switch must be in the Battery On
position to recharge.

• Quick CPR deflation valve on the therapy mattress
• For Low Profile Therapy Mattress Models Only:
Contains a foam based safety cell to protect patients
from bottoming out in the event of a power failure
that exceeds battery life.
• For V-Matt Therapy Mattress Models Only: an
air-filled safety cell to protect patients from bottoming
out in the event of a power failure that exceeds
battery life for step-deck bed frames.
• For V-Matt Therapy Mattress Models Only:
CairEdge feature wraps around the bed frame edge
at point of ingress/egress, providing extra padding.
Therapy Pad Features
• Constructed from smooth nylon fabric with low
friction and low shear properties to protect the
patient's skin from these damaging forces.
• Breathable, moisture vapor permeable fabric allows
air to circulate beneath the pad and wicks away
excess moisture. This helps to keep your patient dry
and helps prevent skin maceration.
