1. Introduction CuroCell® air mattresses operate according to the alternating pressure principle, a technique that is well proven and been used for a long time. Alternating pressure is when the pressure regularly alternates between the mattress cells to replicate body movement. Variable pressure cycles are set up where there is little or no pressure. This is optimal for skin improvement or to prevent skin damage. Always read the user manual prior to use. 1.1 General information This CuroCell® mattress is a medical device in accordance to MDD 93/42/EEC.
