Common operations

3.1

Sitting positioning in bed

Or Remove the power supply from the wall socket and leave the control unit hanging on the bed during transport. The mattress will retain air for at least 12 hours. We recommend using this function for short periods only.

Following operations apply to the Cirrus system regardless of which control unit that is used. When raising the head end of the bed into a sitting position, always secure the user´s position. To ensure the product functionality, we always recommend to perform a hand check (see section 4 or 5 depending on the pump and mattress of interest). This function is recommended to use for short periods only. For additional support, positioning pillows can be used.

3.5

Maximum pressure notification

3.6

Power failure

3.7

Automatic Setting

When the function Maximum pressure has been used for a long time, the Maximum pressure diode will blink. If the use is intentional, ignore the notification. In the event of a power failure, unplug the CPR connection, close the lid, place the CPR connection at the end of the bed and remove the control unit from the bed. The mattress will retain air for at least 12 hours. Perform a hand check to make sure the pressure of the mattress is not too hard or too soft.

• When the alternating or pulsating program is used and the head end of the bed is raised, make sure that the user and/or the mattress is not moving downwards due to the movement in the mattress. Also raise the foot end of the bed.

The mattress system regulates the mattress's internal pressure independently and without manual adjustment to different values based on the user's weight and position. No manual action is required to affect the internal pressure of the mattress. This function works in the following three ways: 1. The control unit carries out an automatic setting immediately after switching the system on. 2. During usage, if any significant change occurs, the control unit will perform an automatic setting. 3. When in use, the control unit will carry out automatic settings at fixed intervals to ensure correct control of the pressure in the mattress at all times. Once the automatic setting has completed, the control unit will start in the Pulsating mode.

CPR (Cardipulmonary resuscitation)

In case of an emergency where CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is necessary, remove the connection (marked ‘CPR’) from the control unit and leave the lid open in order to empty the mattress of air quickly.

3.3

Restart

If a restart is required, set the On/Off switch on the side of the control unit to 0 (Off). Wait for approx. 10 seconds and restart the control unit.

Note! • When using a lift to place the user in the bed and the head end of the bed is raised, make sure that the user is not placed too high on the mattress. Otherwise, there is a risk of shear.

3.2

3.4

Transport function

If the user needs to be moved in bed, either: Unplug the CPR connection, close the lid, place the CPR connection at the end of the bed and remove the control unit from the bed. The mattress will retain air for at least 12 hours.

4 Operation CuroCell® A4 Cirrus Operation CuroCell® A4 Cirrus (how to get started) 1. Set the On/Off switch on the side of the control unit to position 1 (On). See figure 1. 2. The mattress starts to inflate. This takes about 20 minutes depending on the size of the mattress. While the mattress is inflating, the ”mute the information signal” and ”information signal” diodes light up in orange. When these diodes goes out, the user can be placed on the mattress. 3. The pulsating mode setting is pre-set. If a different setting is desired, it can be selected when the user is placed on the mattress. 4. The control unit sets the inner pressure of the mattress according to the weight, length, and position of the user. This takes about 20 minutes. During this time, the diode above the selected program flashes. When the diode stops flashing, the mattress is set and the inner pressure has adjusted according to the user. 5. Perform a hand check to ensure that the settings are correct.

Note! • During the automatic setting, try to avoid larger movements on the mattress. Otherwise, you will get a notification on that the desired value could not be reached within the time limit and the weighing must start over. • The mattress must be inflated before the user can lie on the mattress.

Figure 1. On/Off switch.

• Once automatic setting is complete, the control unit switches to a basic setting of Pulsating mode (when used for the first time) or to the previous setting.

Function

The mattress system independently and without manual adjustment controls the inner pressure of the mattress according to the weight, height, and position of the user. No manual action needs to be performed to adjust the inner pressure of the mattress. This function works as follows:

3. Pulsating mode. The cycle period can be changed according to the user needs and requirements. Choose between 10, 15, 20 or 25 minutes. The longer the cycle period, the slower the alternations. We recommend a basic setting of 10 minutes.

1. At start-up, automatic setting of the inner pressure of the mattress is always carried out according to the weight and height of the user. 2. If the user moves noticeably or changes their position, the system will independently control the inner pressure of the mattress. 3. The system performs an automatic setting at fixed intervals even if no significant changes have occurred. After automatic setting of the mattress inner pressure, the system returns to the previously selected program. At start-up, Pulsating Mode is always pre-set.

With this function, the entire mattress is inflated and provides firmed support. This function reverts to the previous setting after 20 minutes. The function should be used when caring the user, shifting the user’s position or moving the user in or out of bed. Press the Panel Lock button to lock or unlock the control panel. The button indicates when the panel has been locked. The screen locks automatically if left untouched for five minutes. This is to prevent the settings being changed accidentally. To unlock, press the button for 2 seconds.

Programs

There are three programs to choose from: CLP means that the air pressure in all of the air cells is the same in the whole mattress. Alternating mode means that the air pressure in the air cells are different and alternates regularly after chosen cycle periods. Pulsating mode combinates CLP with the alternating function. Choose program by pushing the button for the program. We recommend the Pulsating mode which is also the preset mode.

The pressure can be increased in two steps depending on the user’s comfort requirements. This increase is made based on the automatic setting in 5.1. Note! • When only parts of the mattress are under load, for example, in the case of amputees – it may be necessary to raise the setting using the comfort settings.

1. Constant low pressure mode (CLP) No cycle period is needed. 2. Alternating mode. The cycle period can be changed according to the user needs and requirements. Choose between 10, 15, 20 or 25 minutes. The longer the cycle period, the slower the alternations. We recommend a basic setting of 10 minutes.

The selected setting is shown by a green light.

Product description

6.1 Control unit (A4/IQ) CuroCell® A4 and CuroCell® IQ are automatic air mattress systems used as an aid to prevent and treat pressure ulcers/pressure injuries. The automation means that the control unit’s built-in sensors use software to adjust the inner pressure of the mattress according to the user’s weight, height, position, and change in position. This means that no manual action needs to be performed to adjust the inner pressure of the mattress to conform to the user. With CuroCell® A4 there are three programs to choose from. CuroCell® IQ uses the pulsating mode which is a combination of the alternating mode and CLP mode. Any of these two control units are compatible with the CuroCell® Cirrus mattress. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
