Fowler Boost
Fowler Boost provides increased support for the patient when sitting up in bed in APT or CLP mode. SCU activates
Fowler Boost automatically when backrest is raised and Fowler Boost cable is connected to SCU.
Activating Fowler Boost
Raise backrest.
When backrest is raised:
When the backrest is raised the SCU automatically increases the mattress pressure (single point pressure increase
at 30 degrees for Virtuoso Overlay and Virtuoso Mattress Replacement (Air + Alternating Air Base), linear pressure
increase within 11 - 46 degrees for Virtuoso With Head & Heel Zoner (Air + Alternating Air Base) and Virtuoso Pro).
The Fowler Boost Indicator
6
will illuminate and the pressure range indicator will start to fl ash until the required pre-
ssure is achieved.
Once the pressure is achieved, the pressure range indicator
3
will be permanently on.
Deactivating Fowler Boost
Lower backrest.
When backrest is lowered:
When the Backrest is lowered the SCU automatically reduces the mattress pressure.
The Fowler Boost Indicator
6
will extinguish and the pressure range indicator
3
will start to fl ash until required pre-
ssure is achieved.
Once the pressure is achieved the pressure range indicator
3
will be permanently on.

Micro-Climate Management (MCM)
The Microclimate Management (MCM) function starts to operate automatically when the SCU is turned on and a mattre-
ss is connected. The integrated MCM function is achieved by providing air through two dedicated manifolds running
down each side of the torso section of the mattress. These manifolds direct the MCM air fl ow between the top surface of
the mattress air cells and the inside surface of the top cover to encourage moisture vapour transmission.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to incorrect pressure setting!
Consult qualifi ed hospital staff prior to adjusting pressure.
CAUTION!
Risk of incompatibility due to incorrect bed sheet!
Use air-permeable bed sheet exclusively!
