Operation CuroCell® iA Automatic
Following operations apply only to CuroCell® iA Automatic 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 Automatic (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. 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" diodes light up in orange. When these diodes goes out, the patient can be placed on the
mattress.
3. 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.
4. The control unit sets the inner pressure of the mattress according to the weight, length, and
position of the patient. 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 adjusted according to the patient.
5. Perform a hand check to ensure that the settings are correct.
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 completely inflate the main cells and then
perform an automatic setting.
• 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 perform an automatic
setting.
• The mattress must be inflated before the patient can
lie on the mattress.
• During the automatic setting, try to avoid larger
movements on the mattress. Otherwise, you will get a
notification that the desired value could not be
reached within the time limit and the weighting must
start over.
• Once the automatic setting is complete, the control
unit switches to a basic setting of Gentle Alternating
Low Pressure (GALP) (when used for the first time) or
to the previous setting. For more information see
section 4.1.
