Operation Guide
CAUTION
The patient’s head should be positioned in the center of the top section of the mattress. When using the mattress system
always ensure that the patient is positioned properly within the confines of the bed. Do not let any extremities protrude
over the side or between the bed rails when the mattress is being used.
PATIENT COMFORT CONTROLS AND MONITORING
(Refer to Figure 5)
Power Switch
The power switch is used to turn the power on
and off.
Standby Light
The
Standby
indicator will illuminate when the
unit is plugged into a power outlet. Press the
Power
button to turn the unit on and inflate
the mattress. Therapy is the default mode at
startup. When the
Standby
light is on, it may
also indicate that there has been a power
interruption and the therapy control unit is
ready to be turned back on. Press the Power
button and reset the preferred mode of therapy
and comfort level.
Modes
The Arise® has two low air loss therapy modes,
Therapy and Pulsate and an Autofirm mode
1. Therapy
: The unit starts in the Therapy
mode, which is the standard low air loss
therapy.
2. Pulsate
: Pulsate will slightly decrease the
pressure in all cushions every 30 seconds then return to the programmed comfort adjust level.
3. Autofirm
: Autofirm mode provides maximum air inflation designed to assist both patients and caregivers during
patient transfer and treatment. The unit will automatically return to the mode it was in prior to Autofirm (either
therapy or pulsate) in approximately 12 minutes.
Comfort Adjust
The Comfort Adjust function is located on the right side of the control panel. The Stryker Air I and II can be customized
to meet individual patient needs within a therapeutic window. Use the up and down keys to simultaneously increase or
decrease pressure in all three zones (head, seat and foot). This function will not work in Autofirm mode.
Lockout
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.
Note:
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.
