Nimbus 3 Pump The same pump is used on the
Nimbus 3
and
Nimbus 3
Professional
systems.
The pump comprises a moulded case with non-slip feet
on the base and rear, and an integral carry handle.
The pump has two modes of operation:
•
Dynamic
mode that cycles the support surface
beneath the patient every 10 minutes providing
periods of pressure relief for the whole body.
•
Static
mode where the support surface remains
constant (all cells equally inflated).
The controls and indicators are located on the front
panel, and a sophisticated alarm system differentiates
between normal operation and genuine system faults. If
an alarm situation is detected a flashing indicator will
illuminate, together with an indication of the cause of
alarm, and an audible warning will sound.
The pump can be fixed to the foot end of a hospital bed
by the separate bed bracket. The bed bracket fits in the
pump handle and then clips onto most common bed
frames. The pump can also be stood on the floor, either
upright or on its rear cover.
