ALTERNATING PRESSURE   

 

  

  To set Alternating Pressure Mode, press the AP TIMES button and select the desired time for the 

alternating pressure therapy; LED lights up. The AP times are 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes. 

 

  In the Alternating Pressure Mode, alternate air cushions will inflate to the patient comfort pressure while 

those cushions between the inflated air cushions will deflate 0% or 50% (factory set) of the set patient 
comfort pressure. An AP cycle will alternate these inflated and deflated air cushions, switching back and 
forth. 

 

FOWLER    

    

  To activate Fowler Mode, press the Mode button until the LED light is turned on next to Fowler 

 

  In this mode, pressures in the entire mattress will be increased to higher than the set comfort pressure 

level (not exceeding 32mmHg). This enables the patient in a fowler position to be supported without 
bottoming out. 

 

  When the Auto Fowler is activated, the LED will light up. 

 

LOW AIR LOSS   

 

 

  For the SkinGuard Float®

press the LAL / MAX INFLATE until the LED is turned on near the LAL 

description to active. 

 

LOCK OUT   

   

 

  Control unit functions (including power) can be completely locked, preventing tampering of settings by 

pressing and holding the LOCK button until the light comes on (approximately 3~5 seconds). Press and 
hold the LOCK button to unlock. 

 

ALARM SILENCE    

   

 

  An audio-visual alarm is sounded in the event of power failure or when the hose is disconnected from the 

unit. Audio alarm can be muted by pressing alarm silence key.
