SECTION 2 - INTRODUCTION 2.1
GENERAL
The CAIRWAVE Therapy System is suitable for patients showing any of the following characteristics: Assessed to be at risk up to and including those at very high risk of pressure sores Suffering any grade of pressure sore Immobile while in bed Altered sensory perception The CAIRWAVE Therapy System completely eliminates skin surface pressure at frequent intervals. This unique ‘Zero Pressure’ phase encourages the blood flow necessary to maintain healthy tissue, thereby giving therapy to and prevention from pressure sores even in the most vulnerable patients. By frequently eliminating pressure under the patient, the CAIRWAVE Therapy System also removes the need for repositioning to prevent pressure sores and is equivalent to turning a patient every 7.5 minutes. The ergonomic design of the system including its CAIRCOVER and quiet operation, ensure comfort and restfulness for the patient. The needs of the carer have also been incorporated in the development of the CAIRWAVE Therapy System with the optimum user-friendliness and the automatic adjustment to patient characteristics. Special attention has been given to the ease of cleaning.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The CAIRWAVE Therapy system consists of a multicell mattress and a Patient Management Unit, together with associated pipework. The specially constructed mattress comprises a series of transverse cells, which are inflated and deflated in sequence. This creates a series of pressure waves which travel beneath the patient from foot to head. To support the patient there are three head end cells and two longitudinal side cells that remain fully inflated at all of the time. The mattress, which replaces the normal bed mattress, is covered by a removal zipped cover, which protects the mattress from soiling, by body fluids. The Patient Management Unit (PMU), is microprocessor controlled, and supplies the air to inflate the mattress through umbilical connected to the unit. The air pressure in the mattress is continuously monitored, and the system is completely self-regulating. Audio and visual alarms activate if a fault condition exist. An audio alarm sounds when the unit is switched off, or if the mains supply is disconnected. The PMU may be suspended on the footboard of the bed, or stood on the floor.

Issue 6 Feb 03
Fast Inflation Mode (Fast Mattress Inflation) When switched ON with the umbilical connector in Normal position and the mattress fully deflated, the system will automatically go into Fast Inflation Mode for approximately 10 minutes to ensure the mattress inflates quickly, allowing the system to be used in the shortest possible time. While the system is in Fast Inflate Mode, the amber Static Mode indicator light will continually flash. If the system is switched ON with a partially inflated mattress, Fast Inflation will continue for a shorter period before reverting to Normal Mode. Normal Mode (Normal System Operation) When the Fast Inflation Mode is completed the system will automatically go into Normal Mode, with the mattress cells inflating and deflating (cycling) and the green Normal Mode indicator light constantly illuminated. When a patient is placed on the mattress in the Normal Mode, the system will, if necessary, automatically adjust to the patient characteristics (weight / position) to give optimum benefit. Static Mode (Mattress not Cycling)
WARNING:
The patient will not receive the benefits of the CAIRWAVE Therapy System while it is in Static Mode. Therefore the system should be returned to Normal Mode as soon as possible.
Some nursing procedures may require a static, fully inflated mattress. This is achieved by pressing the Static pushbutton to initiate Static Mode, a single beep will sound to indicate Static Mode is selected. Static Mode enables the PMU to inflate all cells fully and to maintain full inflation. When Static Mode is selected, the amber Static Mode indicator light will illuminate. The mattress will be maintained in Static Mode for 30 minutes, at which time the system will automatically revert to Normal Mode. To extend the duration of Static Mode, press the Static Mode pushbutton within the last 5 minutes of the Static Mode and it will be extended for a further 30 minutes. NOTE: an alarm will sound when Static Mode reaches its last five minutes to enable the extension to be made. The timed extension can only be carried out once, after which the system will then revert to Normal Mode. Static Mode cannot be re-selected for 30 minutes after the completion of the extension time. Normal Mode can be reselected at any time by pressing the Normal Mode pushbutton. Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) When the system has been set to the CPR Mode the alarm will sound for a few seconds and the red heart will flash. Cancel the alarm by pressing the Audio Alarm Reset pushbutton. The flashing red heart will cancel when CPR is no longer selected or if the Patient Management Unit (PMU) is switched off, (see Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation).

SECTION 4 – CONSTRUCTION OF PRODUCT
4.1
MAJOR ELEMENTS OF SYSTEM
The product comprises two major elements: a multicell mattress and a microprocessor controlled Patient Management Unit (PMU).
4.2.
MATTRESS
The mattress comprises two layers of 18 transverse cells, one above the other, separated by two longitudinal tubes (formers), one along each side. The longitudinal tubes each have 17 short loops at regular intervals along their length. These thread through eyelets in the side flaps of the upper and lower decks such that the transverse cells in the upper layer are located vertically above the corresponding cells in the lower layer. 'H' connectors are used to hod these together. The loops are slightly longer on one of the formers to accommodate the airpipes. Additionally, two loops thread through holes at each end of the mattress and are held in position using an 'H' connector through each loop. The cells and formers are chemically bonded to pneumatic tubing. This is formed into a harness that terminates at the male part of the umbilical connector. This enables connection to the PMU. The standard mattress is constructed so that 3 upper deck cells at the head end and the 2 longitudinal tubes remain fully inflated at all times when the system is in use. The remainder of the cells are interconnected so there are 3 sets of cells in each deck, each set cycling from, fully inflated, part inflated to fully deflated sequentially, to create the CAIRWAVE action. The cells in each deck cycle so that vertically aligned cells are in the same state, with the exception of the three upper deck head cells. The mattress cover is in two halves, joined together with a zip. The top cover is extended at the sides to provide a 'skirt', which covers the zip and has instructions printed on it. The cover protects the mattress and the bed base from soiling by body fluids. It has a smooth surface finish to facilitate cleaning. The cover for the umbilical is manufactured from the same material as the mattress cover and is removable for ease of cleaning. The umbilical terminates in a connector to enable pneumatic connection to the PMU and to select any of the following three operating modes: Transport
