6.1
Function
The mattress system independently and
without manual adjustment controls the inner
pressure of the mattress according to the
weight, length, 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:
1. At start-up, automatic setting of the inner
pressure of the mattress is always carried out
according to the weight and length 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, the system returns to
Pulsating Mode.
6.2
Program
Pulsating mode with a cycle period of 10
minutes is preset.
6.3
Maximum pressure (caring mode)
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.
6.4
Hand check (function control)
Hand check is performed to ensure that the
mattress system works properly. Hand check
should be performed regularly; for CuroCell® IQ,
we recommend once per work shift as well as
after installation of the system.
When using an overlay mattress system
(CuroCell® OP10 or CuroCell® CX10)
1a. Open the cover and identify a cell with less
air at the user’s sacrum. Insert a hand, with the
palm facing up, between the overlay mattress
and the underlying mattress. The hand is
inserted beneath the user’s sacrum (center of
mattress).
When using a full replacement mattress
(CuroCell® CX15, CuroCell® CX16 or CuroCell®
CX20)
1b. Open the cover and identify a cell with less
air at the user’s sacrum. Insert a hand, with the
palm facing up, between the top cells and the
underlying safety mattress. The hand is inserted
beneath the user’s sacrum (center of mattress).
2. Ensure there is a gap between the user and
the underlying mattress so that the user does
not ‘bottom out’.
3. If you can feel the user’s sacrum resting in the
palm of your hand, the gap is too small. See
section 8 ‘Troubleshooting’.

Note!
•
Make sure that the mattress system is
filled, which is shown by a green light from
the diode, before performing a hand check.
•
How to perform a hand check depends on
which mattress is used.
