Introduction

These air mattress systems may be used as an aid to prevent and treat pressure ulcers/pressure injuries. CuroCell® M4 is a control unit where the operator must manually adjust the pressure in the mattress based on the weight of the user. CuroCell® A4 is a control unit that sets the air pressure in the mattress based on the user’s length, weight and position without need for manual settings. It offers the operator the option to adjust program and comfort. CuroCell® IQ is a control unit that weights the user and adjust the pressure without an option for the operator to choose program. CuroCell® M4, A4 and IQ are compatible with five different mattresses: CuroCell® OP10 and CuroCell® CX10, CuroCell® CX15, CuroCell® CX16 and CuroCell® CX20.

Assembly and installation

Check that no parts are damaged. If damage is found, contact Care of Sweden or your local distributor before using the product. Do not use sharp objects when unpacking as it might damage the product. When using an overlay mattress (CuroCell® OP10 or CuroCell® CX10): 1a. Place the overlay mattress on the base mattress. Secure the mattress to the base using the 4 straps on the corners of the mattress.

3. If the mattress is equipped with a cable holder, place the power cable in the cable holder by opening the press studs, placing the cable in the gap and closing the press studs again. Otherwise, place the power cable so there is no risk of stumbling over it, running over it with the bed wheels, or getting it jammed when raising or lowering the bed. Put the power cable into the control unit.

When using a full replacement mattress (CuroCell® CX15, CuroCell® CX16 or CuroCell® CX20): 1b. Place the mattress on the bed base. Secure the mattress to the bed using the fastening straps on the underside of the mattress. If the mattress is used on an adjustable bed, the 2 straps in the middle shall be fastened to the non-movable parts of the bed. The 2 straps at the head end of the bed shall be fastened at the moving part of the head end. The 2 straps at the foot end of the bed shall be fastened at the moving part of the foot end.

4. Open the lid on the air tube connector (marked CPR) and connect it to the side of the control unit.

5. A click is heard and felt when correctly connected. Secure that both sides of the connection are closed. 6. Plug the power supply into an approved and easily accessible electrical socket (100– 240 V). 7. Check that the power cable has been correctly connected to the control unit and that the correct power supply has been used. (See section 9.1 Technical specification). The correct P/N is shown on the label on the power supply. The power supply is part of the equipment and may not be replaced.

Note!

• Make sure that the mattress is the correct size for the bed. • Check the cells and press studs to ensure they are correctly assembled. • Make the bed with sheets. • The mattress should be used lying in the lengthwise direction on the mattress, with feet at the end, market with the feet symbol.

If the control unit has been stored in its minimum or maximum storage temperature (25°C to 70°C), wait at least 1 hour before starting it. This time is based on an ambient temperature of 20°C.

2. Hang the control unit on the foot end of the bed or place it on a level, steady surface. Check that the switch on the side of the control unit it set to ‘0’ (off).

Operation CuroCell® M4

Following operations apply only to CuroCell® M4 regardless of which mattress that is used. Read the label of the control unit carefully to make sure that you know which control unit you have. Operation CuroCell® M4 (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. Use the weight settings to set a suitable air pressure. 3. The mattress starts to inflate. This takes about 20-40 minutes depending on the size of the mattress. While the mattress is inflating, the “mute the information signal” and “information signal” diode light up in orange. When these diodes goes out, the user can be placed on the mattress. 4. 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. 5. When the user is placed on the mattress and the desired program is selected, the inner pressure of the mattress is adjusted according to the selected weight setting. This takes about 10 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 reached the selected value. 6. Perform a hand check to ensure that the settings are correct. 7. If the mattress is too soft or too hard, adjust the weight setting. 8. Perform another hand check.

Note! • Each time the system starts up, it will operate as follows: When using a mattress without an air safety mattress (CuroCell® OP10, CuroCell® CX10 or CuroCell® CX16), the control unit will adjust to the set weight. • When using a mattress with an air safety mattress (CuroCell® CX15 or CuroCell® CX20), the control unit always begins by completely inflating the safety mattress, followed by the other cells, and then perform an automatic setting. • When using a mattress with a safety mattress in foam (CuroCell® CX16), the user can lie on the mattress even when not inflated. • When using a mattress with an air safety mattress (CuroCell® CX15 or CuroCell® CX20), this must be inflated before the user can lie on the mattress. In both cases, the safety mattress will carry the load when the orange diode goes out.

Function

At start-up, the inner pressure of the mattress must be set manually based on the weight and height of the user. The mattress system maintains the pre-set inner pressure regardless of movement and position changes. This means that when the user changes position, for example, the mattress’s inner pressure must be adjusted manually. The weight settings on the control unit are used to change the inner pressure.

With this function, the entire mattress is inflated and provides firmed support. This function reverts to the previous setting after approximately 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. When the function has been used for a long time, the diode will blink. If the use is intentional, ignore the notification.

Programs

There are three programs to choose from: Constant low pressure (CLP) means that the air pressure in all of the air cells is the same in the whole mattress.

The alternating mode switches to pulsating mode when the seating function is activated. A visible and audible notification is generated when the seating function has been active for two consecutive hours, notifying that repositioning of the individual may be necessary. The control unit will also notify if an attempt is made to switch on the system while seating function is active.

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. Chose program by pushing the button for the program. We recommend the Pulsating mode which is also the preset mode.

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.

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

Operation CuroCell® A4

Following operations apply only to CuroCell A4 regardless of which mattress that is used. Read the label of the control unit carefully to make sure that you know which control unit you have.

Operation CuroCell® A4 (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 20-40 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 20-30 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! Each time the system starts up, it will operate as follows: • When using a mattress without an air safety mattress (CuroCell® OP10, CuroCell® CX10 or CuroCell® CX16), the control unit will completely inflate the main cells and then perform an automatic setting. • When using a mattress with an air safety mattress (CuroCell® CX15 or CuroCell® CX20), the control unit always begins by completely inflating the safety mattress, followed by the other cells, and then perform an automatic setting. • 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 weighting must start over. • When using a mattress with a safety mattress in foam (CuroCell® CX16), the user can lie on the mattress even when not inflated. When using a mattress with an air safety mattress (CuroCell® CX15 or CuroCell® CX20), this must be inflated before the user can lie on the mattress. In both cases, the safety mattress will carry the load.

• 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. For more information see section 5.2.

The Pack&Go® diode will flash during deflation. The mattress will empty of air and be ready to be simply folded together within 20 minutes. The control unit gives an audio signal once deflation is complete. Carefully fold the mattress together, place the control unit between the folds of the mattress and place the system in a transportation bag (accessory) or equivalent for protective storage. Ensure that the power supply is packed complete.

Operation CuroCell® IQ

Following operations apply only to CuroCell® IQ regardless of which mattress that is used. Read the label of the control unit carefully to make sure that you know which control unit you have. Operation CuroCell® IQ (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 20-40 minutes depending on the size of the mattress. While the mattress is inflating, the “silent 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 control unit sets the inner pressure of the mattress according to the weight, length, and position of the user. This takes about 20-30 minutes. During this time, the diode above the “check symbol” flashes. When the diode stops flashing, the mattress is set and the inner pressure has adjusted according to the user. 4. Perform a hand check to ensure that the settings are correct.

Note! • Each time the system starts up, it will operate as follows: When using a mattress without an air safety mattress (CuroCell® OP10, CuroCell® CX10 or CuroCell® CX16), the control unit will completely inflate the main cells and then perform an automatic setting. • When using a mattress with an air safety mattress (CuroCell® CX15 or CuroCell® CX20), the control unit always begins by completely inflating the safety mattress, followed by the other cells, and then perform an automatic setting. • 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 weighting must start over. • When using a mattress with a safety mattress in foam (CuroCell® CX16), the user can lie on the mattress even when not inflated. When using a mattress with an air safety mattress (CuroCell® CX15 or CuroCell® CX20), this must be inflated before the user can lie on the mattress. In both cases, the safety mattress will carry the load.
