Turn Cycle Time
The CairTurn RT provides a dynamic turning support
surface for the patient. The patient will turn laterally.
The cycle starts from center (flat) and turns fully
to the left, the right, and then back to the center
in the chosen cycle time (20, 30, 45, 60, 90 and
120 minutes). This lateral rotation sequence will
continuously repeat until the mode or Turn Cycle
time is changed.
Therapy Adjust
The Therapy Adjust function is located on the right
side of the control panel. The CairTurn RT can be
customized to meet individual patient needs within
a therapeutic window. Use the up and down keys to
simultaneously increase or decrease pressure in
the entire mattress. This function will not work in
Autofirm mode.
Lockout
This feature is to prevent any unauthorized changes
to the patient settings. To unlock and make
adjustments to the settings, press both up and down
comfort arrows at the same time to disengage the
Lockout function. The Lockout function will return in
approximately five minutes.
Note: The unit is designed to lock out all of the
adjustment controls after the patient has been
positioned correctly. In approximately five minutes
after the last button has been pushed, push the power
on light begins to flash indicating Lockout is enabled.
