The zoned mattress offers 3 static head cells, 12 torso cells and 8 heel cells.
The cells can be inflated between a range of 10mmHg and 70mmHg, dependent on
the function chosen.
The heel section has narrower and lower cells.

Control Unit Operation
The system will be ready for use after an initial inflation period of upto 45 minutes.
Once the mattress is fully inflated the panel will instruct the user that the system is
ready for use and a short audible signal will sound.
If the system does not reach the required pressure it will sound a ‘low pressure’
indication after 45 minutes (see section 11).
To turn the system off hold the button down for 2 seconds until the screen
extinguishes.
Once a patient is positioned on the mattress the system will determine the patient’s
approximate weight and optimum pressure level within a period of 5 minutes. Once
weight detection is complete the mattress automatically defaults to alternating
mode.
9.5.2 System Setup
The mattress utilises an ‘AB’ alternation cycle where alternate cells deflate and
inflate. As the system is detecting the patient weight the screen shows the changing
pressure differential between the A and B cells at that moment in time. In the
illustration below A = 34mmHg and B = 33mmHg
