NOTE:
In powered mode, elevating the head of bed may require adjusting
comfort level to ensure appropriate support, especially if elevated beyond 30°
(see “Head of Bed Elevation”, below). With HOB elevated in this way, caregivers
may find the following body mass index (BMI) setting suggestions helpful in
determining an ideal comfort setting:
Suggestions for comfort setting with HOB
elevated:
BMI 12-20: setting 1; BMI 21-35: setting 2, BMI 36-50: setting 3;
BMI 51-70: setting 4; BMI 71-100: setting 5. A simple hand check can be used
to verify adequate seat support.
THERAPY MODE:
Toggle between “Alternating” or “Rotation” mode as
desired.
The use of ROTATION should be viewed only as an adjunct to manual
repositioning of the patient for whom this repositioning is possible,
never as a replacement for it. “Frequent repositioning of the patient has
long been recommended as a means for preventing pressure ulcers.”¹
“All patients at risk for pressure ulcers continue to require regular
manual repositioning (turning), even those who are benefitting from the
use of a specialty lateral rotation surface”¹ Routine manual repositioning
should be used to provide opportunities for total offloading of pressure
from the sacrum, assessing the skin and maintaining proper alignment
and position on the support surface.
Note: when using wedges or pillows for manual repositioning (turning),
discontinue ROTATION and activate either FLOAT or ALTERNATING.

LOW PRESSURE:
If “Low Pressure” indicator light comes on after initial set-
up or when moving mattress or control unit, first check that all airlines are
properly connected and that they are not kinked. If light is still on after 30
minutes, call for service.
AUTO FIRM:
Select the Auto Firm mode to stop the alternating or rotation
movement of the mattress. The AUTO FIRM indicator light will illuminate and
the mattress will achieve uniform support. The mattress will remain in the
Auto Firm mode for 20 minutes.
During this time, all five Comfort Level indicator lights will be illuminated in
amber, and the Comfort Level, Therapy Mode, Disconnect, and On/Off selectors
will be inactive. The Audible alarm is not affected.
After 20 minutes, the system will automatically resume the comfort and
therapy mode settings that had been previously selected.
Pressing the Auto Firm selector at any time prior to the elapsing of 20 minutes
will immediately return the system to the comfort and therapy mode settings it
was in prior to the pressing of AutoFirm.
