About this Manual
This manual is your introduction to the
Nimbus
®
Pediatric
Mattress Replacement System. Use it initially
to set up the system and keep it handy as a reference for
day-to-day routines and as a guide to maintenance.
About the Nimbus
®
Pediatric System
The complete system consists of a mattress replacement,
top cover, and pump unit. The system is used for the
prevention and management of pressure ulcers.
The
Nimbus Pediatric
System incorporates the unique
Auto-Matt
®
sensor pad which ensures that the patient is
automatically supported at optimum pressures
regardless of size, height, position or weight
distribution.
The mattress replacement is designed for use with the
ArjoHuntleigh ChildMinder or Hi-Lo Crib. Users are
able to employ established practices for moving and
handling patients.
A water resistant, vapor permeable cover is supplied
which enhances patient comfort by preventing heat
build-up while protecting the mattress replacement
interior from contamination. It is simple to clean in situ
but can be easily removed for laundering.
In the event of cardiac arrest, the mattress can be
quickly deflated in approximately 10 seconds to allow
cardiac resuscitation procedures to be performed.
The
Nimbus Pediatric
System is designed to operate in
3 modes:
•
Dynamic
mode continuously changes the tissue
pressure points, providing a high degree of
pressure relief.
•
Static
mode provides constant low pressure
reduction and is used when a moving surface is
contraindicated.
•
Autofirm
mode provides a stable surface for
nursing procedures, patient transfer and
physiotherapy.
Caution
USA Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
