Technical Description
The Nimbus 2, Nimbus 3, DFS 2, DFS 3 and Nimbus 3 Professional are Dynamic Flotation Systems for use in aiding the prevention, treatment and management of pressure sores. It is a powered, air-filled mattress replacement system with microprocessor-aided control and alarm functions which have LED indication on the front panel of the pump.
Operating Principle The patient is supported by twenty cells which are enclosed by a polyurethane coated fabric cover. This cover has waterproof, vapour permeable, and two-way stretch properties. The system incorporates a sensor that automatically adjusts the support pressure within the system to accommodate different weight patients and their weight density or distribution. This sensor pad, known as the Auto-Matt® sensor, optimises the pressure to which the cells are inflated to be the minimum to support that patient in a given position. Small adjustments can be made to the mattress pressure, using the comfort control knob on the pump. This is a patient comfort feature to make small adjustments to the softness or firmness of the mattress. The Nimbus 3 and DFS 3 mattress also includes the HeelGuard® special powered-down feature which is designed to maximise pressure relief under the heels.

Introduction
Nimbus/DFS Service Manual
Dynamic Mode In dynamic mode the support surface beneath the patient is cycled every 10 minutes providing periods of pressure relief for the whole body. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show how the system operates in dynamic and static modes. Figure 2 shows the pneumatic circuit in principle. A dual compressor system is used to provide a source of air supply. This is fed to a high pressure switch, the Auto-Matt sensor and a rotary valve. The high pressure switch is used to detect system over-pressures through blockages. The low pressure switch, which is located in the pressure control assembly, is used to detect if the air pressure in the system falls below minimum. The rotary valve channels the air supply as shown below: C to outlet A with B at atmosphere (D)
- A & C Cells Inflated
C to outlet A and B
- All Cells Inflated (A, B & C)
C to outlet B with A at atmosphere (D)
- B & C Cells Inflated
C to outlet A and B
- All Cells Inflated (A, B & C)
This then allows cells A and B in the mattress to be inflated and deflated in a cycle period of ten minutes.
Figure 1 - Mattress Cell Inflation Cycle In the mattress there is a third section of cells labelled as C. These are fed through partial non-return valves from cells A and B and are therefore never at zero pressure. These are positioned as shown in Figure 1 to prevent the torso section from ‘bottoming’ during dynamic mode and when a patient is sitting upright. Semi-dynamic pressure is also applied to the head cells (C) and the heel protector (above CPR unit) for added patient comfort. On Nimbus 3 and DFS 3, loop sheets, the heel cells have a special powered-down feature to facilitate fast deflation and thereby improve pressure relief under the heels.

Introduction
Static Mode In static mode the support surface is kept constant and provides pressure reduction without cycling. The rotary valve is held in a constant position so that cells A, B, C and the heel protector are equally inflated.
Figure 2 - Pneumatic System Diagram
Auto-Matt The Auto-Matt sensor consists of a flexible air sensor pad which is located underneath the mattress cells. This acts as a pressure regulator and accommodates changes in patient weight and position in the following manner:
Issue 2 April 2010

Chap 1 Page 3
Introduction
Nimbus/DFS Service Manual
It is pneumatically connected in parallel to the mattress cells and when it is not occluded it channels the air supply away from the cells. Occlusion of the Auto-Matt sensor is by patient weight and position. In this manner it allows internal mattress air pressures to be compensated to that required to support the patient. With no patient on the mattress the Auto-Matt sensor is not occluded and pressure in the mattress is governed by the pressure control shown in Figure 2 . This is in turn set to a pressure range which can be slightly adjusted to change mattress pressures for patient comfort. With a patient on the mattress, pressure is exerted onto the cells and this can partially or totally occlude the Auto-Matt sensor. This results in more air being supplied to the cells increasing their internal pressure until full patient support is achieved. Should the patient change to a position which necessitates a lower pressure, air is released via the Auto-Matt sensor through the pressure control valve until the correct lower pressure is achieved in the cells.
System Start Up Sequence After the pump is switched on the start up sequence is as follows: •
All display indicators illuminate for a few seconds.
•
Low Pressure and Wait indicators remain illuminated while the mattress inflates (approx 20 Min). All the other indicators go out.
•
The pump runs one compressor until the rotor turns to the cross over position (within 5 Min).
•
The rotor then depresses the microswitch which stops the rotor and activates the second compressor.
•
Both compressors run for 20 minutes or when the mattress reaches the minimum pressure setting.
•
When the minimum pressure setting is reached the Low Pressure and Wait indicators go out.
•
The pump cuts down to one compressor and the rotor starts to rotate.
•
In Dynamic Mode the compressors will alternate every 4 hours.
•
In Static Mode the Coils (4 off) will alternate every 4 hours (one at a time). The compressors alternate depending on which coil is working (there are two coils in each compressor).
Alternating Head Cells Modification The Nimbus and DFS beds are normally supplied with the top three (head) cells configured so that they are inflated to a specific pressure. Although the pressure in the head cells normally remains constant, the pressure in the rest of the cells slowly alternates. The Alternating Head Cells Modification converts the static head cells into alternating cells. The modification can be applied in two configurations that follow: Configuration 1 converts all three head cells from static pressure to alternating pressure. Configuration 2 converts the second and third cells from static pressure to alternating pressure. The top head cell remains as a static pressure cell.
