THE OPTITEX™ COVER
OptiTex is a durable hygiene cover with unique features contributing to the mattress’s
pressure relieving properties.
The multi-stretch, breathable cover is made of a polyurethane (PU) material. The entire
cover (bo
th upper and lower parts) can be cleaned with disinfectants or machine washed at
maximum 95° C and tumble dried.
The OptiTex cover has an integrated waterproof cable holder that reduces the risk of bacteria
spreading, keeps the electrical cord out of the way and protects the air hoses.
Cells and hoses can easily be removed from the cover and rinsed clean with disinfectants or
with warm water at maximum 70° C.
The Low Air Loss function
allows air to escape from the cells whilst at the same time
remaining waterproof. This microclimate management together with the bi-elastic surface
layer reduces the risk of shear and other complications for the patient.
Fluid protection flap
and waterproof zip on four sides, with welded seams.
Underside
with four fastening straps.
APPLICATIONS
The OptiCell Soft PLUS is a constant low air pressure overlay mattress, which is placed on top
of a foam mattress (for example, one of Järven Health Care’s standard mattresses). It aids the
prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers up to and including Category 3.
OptiCell Soft PLUS has a height of 13cm and comes with a durable OptiTex cover and a CPR
valve for emergency situations.
The supplied OC-15 pump provides constant low air pressure only. It is easy to use and
can be adjusted manually to adapt to the patient’s weight.
FIRE PROTECTION
The OptiCell Soft PLUS mattress is tested and approved according to
SS 8760001
,
EN 597-1
and
EN 597-2
.
SYSTEM FEATURES
The OptiCell Soft PLUS air mattress is constructed so that individual cells can be
disconnected, even while a patient is lying on the mattress. The mattress has three different
types of cells:
•
Head cells
– 13cm high, continuously inflated air cells that are positioned under the
patient’s head.
•
Standard cells
– 13cm high, static air pressure section.
•
Ventilation cells
– function as standard cells, but with ventilation holes releasing small
amounts of air up into the cover. This creates air circulation that helps keep the top of
the cover dry.
Individual cells can easily be disconnected:
• Release the air hose from the chosen cell (press the black button on the air hose coupling).
• Press the two buttons on the short sides of the cell.
AIR HOSE PUMP CONNECTION
The OptiCell Soft PLUS air mattress is connected to the pump by three air hoses.
The red air hose, positioned in the middle, is used to fill the head cells situated under the
patient’s head. It also fills the lower chambers of the standard cells and the ventilation cells.
This ensures that there is always air in the mattress no matter how the pump is set, or if the
pump should stop working (for example, due to power failure).
The outer two air hoses provide static pressure to the standard cells and ventilation cells.
See the section “Air hose connection” (page 10) for more information.
THE PUMP’S DIFFERENT WORKING METHODS
By changing the pump’s setting according to the patient’s weight, you have a static air
pressure mattress with different degrees of constant low air pressure. Examples of different
working methods:
• By removing individual cells, relief can be given to specific body parts (for example
the heels).
• By inserting a ventilation cell, a fresher feeling can be created when the patient senses
that the cover feels warm in a specific area.
