4.1
Automatic setting
The mattress system independently and
without manual adjustment controls the inner
pressure of the mattress according to the
weight, height, and position of the patient. No
manual action needs to be performed to adjust
the inner pressure of the mattress. This function
works as follows:
1. At start-up, automatic setting of the inner
pressure of the mattress is always carried out
according to the weight and height of the
patient.
2. If the patient moves noticeably or changes
their position, the system will independently
control the inner pressure of the mattress.
3. The system performs an automatic setting at
fixed intervals even if no significant changes
have occurred.
After automatic setting of the mattress inner
pressure, the system returns to the previously
selected program. At start-up, Gentle
Alternating Low Pressure is always pre-set.
4.2
Programs
There are two programs to choose from:
Constant Low Pressure (CLP) means that the air
pressure in all the air cells is the same in the
whole mattress.
Gentle Alternating Low Pressure (GALP) means
that the air pressures in the air cells are
different and alternates regularly after chosen
cycle periods.
Chose program by pushing the button for the
program. We recommend Gentle Alternating
Low Pressure (GALP) which is also the preset
mode.
1. Constant Low Pressure (CLP).
No cycle period is needed.
2. Gentle Alternating Low Pressure
(GALP). The cycle period can be
changed according to the patient's
needs and requirements. Choose between 10,
15, 20 or 25 minutes. The longer the cycle
period, the slower the alternations. We
recommend a basic setting of 10 minutes.
4.3
Maximum pressure (caring mode)
With this function, the entire mattress
is inflated and provides firmed
support. This function reverts to the
previous setting after 20 minutes. The function
should be used when caring the patient, shifting
the patient's position, or moving the patient in
or out of bed.
4.4
Panel lock
Press the Panel lock button to lock or
unlock the control panel. The button
indicates when the panel has been
locked. The screen locks automatically if left
untouched for five minutes. This is to prevent
the settings being changed accidentally.
To unlock, press the button for 2 seconds.
4.5
Comfort settings
The pressure can be increased
in two steps depending on the
patient's comfort requirements. This increase is
made based on the automatic setting in 4.1.
The selected setting is shown by a green light.
Note!
• When only parts of the mattress are
under load, for example, in the case of
amputees – it may be necessary to raise
the setting using the comfort settings.
