Operation

Mode
In Alternating Mode, alternate mattress
cells infl ate and defl ate following a
ALT
fi xed cycle time of 12 minutes, with the
exception of static head cells.
Alternating mode is used for normal therapeutic
function.
In Indefi nite Static Mode, all mattress
cells remain infl ated, with adjustable
STATIC
pressure allowing for constant low
pressure therapy benefi ts.
The system will operate in Indefi nite Static
Mode until manually changed to Alternating
Mode.
Auto Fowler Boost
Fowler Boost mode will automatically
become active whenever the head of the
FOWLER mattress is inclined to a 30° or greater
angle. This mode increases air pressure to the
cells, to compensate for the additional load of a
seated patient. This automatic safety measure
allows patients to remain in a seated position while
minimising the risk of bottoming out.
Once the head of the mattress is brought
back to a reclined position (or below a 5°
angle), Fowler Boost mode will automatically
disengage.
Quick Twist CPR
Rapid defl ation of the mattress may be required
for emergency treatment (or to decommission the
unit).
The Quick Twist CPR valve is located at the top of
the mattress, to the right of the patient's head.
If emergency treatment is required, turn the CPR
valve to the 'OPEN' position. This will rapidly defl ate
the entire system, including static head cells.
Sealed Mattress
Base CPR "OPEN"
To reinfl ate the system after the Quick Twist CPR valve
has been released, turn the tab and align the arrows with
the the 'CLOSED' position markers, ensure control unit
is switched on and wait for the system to regain optimal
pressure.
Sealed Mattress
Base CPR "CLOSED"
CLOSED indicator arrows should align with
CPR indicator arrow.
