Introduction

About this Manual

This manual is your introduction to the 

Nimbus

®

 

Pediatric

 Mattress Replacement System. Use it  initially 

to set up the system and keep it handy as a reference for 
day-to-day routines and as a guide to maintenance.

About the Nimbus

®

Pediatric System

The complete system consists of a mattress replacement, 
top cover, and pump unit. The system is used for the 
prevention and management of pressure ulcers.

The 

Nimbus

 

Pediatric

 System incorporates the unique 

Auto-Matt

®

 sensor pad which ensures that the patient is 

automatically supported at optimum pressures 
regardless of size, height, position or weight 
distribution.

The mattress replacement is designed for use with the 
ArjoHuntleigh ChildMinder or Hi-Lo Crib.  Users are 
able to employ established practices for moving and 
handling patients.

A water resistant, vapor permeable cover is supplied 
which enhances patient comfort by preventing heat 
build-up while protecting the mattress replacement 
interior from contamination. It is simple to clean in situ 
but can be easily removed for laundering.

In the event of  cardiac arrest, the mattress can be 
quickly deflated in approximately 10 seconds to allow 
cardiac resuscitation procedures to be performed.

The 

Nimbus

 

Pediatric

 System is designed to operate in 

3 modes:

Dynamic

 mode continuously changes the tissue 

pressure points, providing a high degree of 
pressure relief.

Static

 mode provides constant low pressure 

reduction and is used when a moving surface is 
contraindicated.

Autofirm

 mode provides a stable surface for 

nursing procedures, patient transfer and 
physiotherapy.

Caution

USA Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
physician.
