) in
approximately 12 minutes.

will slightly decrease the pressure
in all cushions every 30 seconds, which some
patients find comfortable.
•

mode,
which is the standard low air loss therapy.
Comfort Adjust
The
Comfort Adjust
function is located on the right
side of the control panel. The FlapCair can be
customized to meet individual patient needs within a
therapeutic window. See “Setup” section for further
information. This function will not work in
Autofirm
mode.

This feature is to prevent any unauthorized
changes to the patient settings. To unlock and make
adjustments to the settings press both up and down
comfort arrows at the same time to disengage the
Lockout
function. The
Lockout
function will return in
approximately five minutes.

The unit is designed to lock out all the
adjustment controls after the patient has been
positioned correctly. In approximately five minutes
after the last button push the power on light begins
to flash indicating
Lockout
is enabled.
