Operation CuroCell® iA Manual
Following operations apply only to CuroCell® iA Manual regardless of which mattress that is used.
Read the label of the control unit carefully to make sure that you know which control unit you
have.
Operation CuroCell® iA Manual (how to get started)
1. Set the On/Off switch on the side of the control unit to position 1 (On). See figure 1.
2. Use the weight settings to set a suitable air pressure.
3. The mattress starts to inflate. This takes about 20-40 minutes depending on the size of the
mattress. While the mattress is inflating, the "mute the information signal" and "information
signal" diode light up in orange. When these diodes go out, the patient can be placed on the
mattress.
4. The Gentle Alternating Low Pressure (GALP) setting is pre-set. If a different setting is desired, it
can be selected when the patient is placed on the mattress.
5. When the patient is placed on the mattress and the desired program is selected, the inner
pressure of the mattress is adjusted according to the selected weight setting. This takes about
20-30 minutes. During this time, the diode above the selected program flashes. When the diode
stops flashing, the mattress is set and the inner pressure has reached the selected value.
6. Perform a hand check to ensure that the settings are correct.
7. If the mattress is too soft or too hard, adjust the weight setting.
8. Perform another hand check.
Note!
Each time the system starts up, it will operate as
follows:
• When using a mattress without an air safety
mattress (CuroCell® Ci10 or CuroCell® Ci10
PRO), the control unit will adjust to the set
weight.
• When using a mattress with an air safety
mattress (CuroCell® Ci17, CuroCell® Ci20,
CuroCell® Ci17 PRO or CuroCell® Ci20 PRO),
the control unit always begins by completely
inflating the safety mattress, followed by the
other cells, and then start on the default
mode.
•
The mattress must be inflated before the
patient can lie on the mattress.
