STATIC (THERAPY)
•
To set Static Mode, press the STATIC button; LED lights up.
•
In Static Mode, the air cushions in the mattress will be maintained at a constant pressure and can be
adjusted to the desired patient comfort control level.
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.
PULSE
•
To set Pulse Mode, press the PULSE button; LED lights up. For SkinGuard® Turn, press the SELECT
button until the Pulse mode is displayed on the screen.
•
The pressure in each air cell will be increased by 40% for 30 seconds and then reduced to the prior
pressure setting for 30 seconds. This cycle will continue every minute as long as pulsation is enabled.
FOWLER
•
To activate Fowler Mode, press the FOWLER button; LED lights up. For SkinGuard® Turn, press the
SELECT button until Upright is displayed on the screen.
•
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
•
Continuous Low Air Loss relief is provided at all time when the SkinGuard® Mattress System is powered
on.
