Button Function Mute the information signal Panel lock Gentle Alternating Low Pressure (GALP) Constant Low Pressure (CLP) Maximum pressure (caring mode) Information signal Incorrect connection of the air connector (CPR) Cycle time settings (10, 15, 20, 25 minutes). The diodes are also used for error notifications.
Function (Automatic) 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: 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.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - CPR See section 5.1. Function control A function control shall be performed regularly to ensure that the product is working correctly. Ensure that the air mattress is filled with air before performing function control. This is indicated by a green light above the chosen program. The function control is performed by verifying that a green light is illuminated on the control panel for the selected program.
6.12 Notifications Different notifications exist based on how serious the warning is. With a malfunction or an error, a notification will be given by a flashing warning triangle. To mute the warning signal, press the mute button. When a notification occurs, the current cycle time diode will turn off and a notification code is shown on the four different cycle time diodes (10, 15, 20, 25).

Function At start-up, the inner pressure of the mattress must be set manually based on the weight and height of the patient. The mattress system maintains the pre-set inner pressure regardless of movement and position changes. This means that when the patient changes position, for example, the mattress’s inner pressure must be adjusted manually.
Function control – Hand check Perform a hand check to ensure that the mattress system works properly. Hand check should be performed regularly; for CuroCell® iA Manual we recommend once every eight hours as well as after installation of the system. Ensure that the air mattress is filled with air before performing a hand check.
