9.2 Comfort level
The
Soft
and
Firm
buttons allow carers to adjust pressures within a safe pre-set range
to provide patients with enhanced comfort or support whilst maintaining a very good
level of protection and therapy. Qualified clinical advice must always be taken before
adjusting mattress pressures.
The required pressure is selected using the
Soft
and
Firm
buttons to move the pressure
by one step at a time.
When pressing the
Firm
button, the output pressure will increase to provide a higher
pressure output and thus increased support.
When pressing the
Soft
button, the output pressure will be decreased to provide a lower
pressure output and thus increased comfort.
To check if the pressure is adequately supporting the patient, slide one hand between
the air mattress and bed frame to feel under the patient’s bottom. You should be able to
slide the hand in-between and an acceptable range is approximately 25 to 40 mm (1
” to
1-
1/2”) to ensure the patient Is not bottoming out.
9.3 Auto-detection
Simultaneously pressing the
Soft
and
Firm
buttons on the control panel will activate
Auto-Detection
. Once activated the indicator will flash and the system will start
detecting and will set the internal pressure for the appropriately. The indicator light will
flash until the patient’s weight and position has been detected then the light will
extinguish.
Auto-Detection
sets the internal pressure for the patient so there is no
requirement to input the patient’s weight, the internal pressure setting will vary slightly
depending on BMI. For example if you had two people weighting 65kg one tall and thin
the other shorter and thicker set, the first patient may auto-detect to 50kg whilst the
second to 75kg, this is due the difference in their BMI. The
Auto-Detection
will repeat
every 2 hours to allow the system to adjust the pressure according to the patient’s
position.
To turn off the
Auto-Detection
simply press the
Soft
and
Firm
buttons again
simultaneously.
9.4 Control panel lockout
If the control panel is not used for a period of 30 seconds it will lock out and inhibit the
use of the functions. Additionally, if you wish to lock out the control panel press the
Lock
Out
button, the button will flash and all functions will be locked. This is to prevent the
system being altered accidently.
In order to unlock the control panel, simply press and hold the
Lock Out
button for 3
seconds, the control panel will now be active for use.
