Using The Mattress System; Heel Cell Zones - Softcloud Pro; Cpr Procedure - Invacare SoftCloud Ace Manual Del Usuario

The system starts from a pressure reference
value when calculating the individual pressure
setting. When the user is lying on the mattress
the differences between the "unloaded" and the
"loaded" pressure are compared to a matrix and
1 of 5 pressure steps is selected. When adjusting
the pressure the auto settings are overruled by the
manual settings.

5.3 Using the mattress system

Establishing Pressure (supine / face up position)
1. The system is set up and inflated in static mode.
2. When the system is ready, the auto sensing function
will indicate with a "beep" that the user can lay down
on the mattress.
3. After 10-15 seconds the system has measured the
impact the user have on the system and calculated a
pressure setting.
4. The system is now ready to use and will turn to
alternating therapy unless other selections are made.
5. If further adjustments are needed, the pressure settings
can be altered with the pressure arrow buttons.
6. Assess whether the patient is comfortable and the
system is functioning correctly by performing a
"bottoming out" test.
The system runs on the chosen setting but when the
user changes and stays in a new position the pressure
in the mattress can adjust (higher/lower). The sensor
in the control unit will react and adjust the pressure
if required to compensate for the new position.
"Bottoming Out" Test
When altering the pressure setting, ensure the patient is not
"bottoming out" (insufficiently supported by the air cells and
therefore coming in contact with bed base).
1. Ensure system is in alternation mode but is not
undergoing an alternation.
2. With the patient lying in a supine position, unzip top
cover just past sacral (bottom) region.
3. Slide your hand along a deflated cell under the patients
sacral area (bottom). The inner static cell will remain
inflated but your hand should slide easily between
patient and base.
4. If hand can pass under patient then patient is adequately
suspended and pressure can be lowered.
5. Repeat "bottoming out" test after pressure has been
lowered.
In the event of a system malfunction, the alarm will
activate and pressure LEDs will flash.
Establishing Pressure (inclined position)
The system runs on the chosen setting but when the
user changes and stays in a new position the pressure
in the mattress can adjust (higher/lower). The sensor
in the control unit will react and adjust the pressure
if required to compensate for the new position.

IMPORTANT!
– Return to the original pressure setting when
the patient returns to the supine position, and
perform a "bottoming out" test.
– Wait a minimum of 10-12 minutes between
pressure adjustment and patient assessment, as
it may take a full cycle for the system to adjust
to any new setting.

5.4 Heel Cell Zones - SoftCloud Pro

For SoftCloud Pro, the five heel cells incorporate an option
which allows the carer to permanently offload the heel of
the user, ideal for the most vulnerable users such as those
with limb ischaemia or existing wounds.
CAUTION!
Insufficient pressure relief
– Deflating more than one adjacent air cell can
affect the support of the user during the normal
alternating support cycle. This function should
only be used for temporary procedures.
A B
1. Open the push button flap A at the foot end of the
mattress to access the 5 release connectors.
2. Disconnect the chosen connector B for permanent
offloading.
• Top connector is closest to the knee.
• Connector 4–2 is below the knee and goes
towards the heel.
• Bottom connector is the last heel cell closest
to the end of the mattress.
It is not recommended to deflate more than one
air cell directly beneath the area where relief
is needed.
3. Reconnect the connector(s) to disengage permanent
offloading. The air cell will be inflated again and return
to normal operation mode.
4. Close the push button flap A.
