DYNA-FORM MERCURY ADVANCE

1. Introduction

The Mattress consists of a foam head cell and series of 14 transverse air cells, each containing a unique
foam profiled insert, which are in turn held within a foam U Core, all protected by a vapour permeable
waterproof cover. The single head end cell and the formers consist of foam only. The transverse cells are
arranged into alternate pairs of A and B cells which are filled and emptied in sequence.
In Static Mode, the mattress attains the pressure reducing properties of the Dyna-Form Mercury static
foam mattress (details available on request), whilst in Alternating Mode the mattress is able to offer similar
properties to a pressure relieving dynamic system.
The digital Control Unit controls a Control Unit that allows air to flow into, or out of the air cells as required
according to the operating mode selected. It also maintains the air pressure within the mattress at the
required level and controls the action of the audible/visual Audible Warning system in the event of mains
supply failure or over or under inflation pressure. A CPR Valve located at the Control Unit end of the
umbilical hose permits the rapid deflation of the Mattress in an emergency.
