Etac Kalogon Star Sentinel Manual página 7

4. Once the device is discovered by the app select
"Connect" on the rectangle.
5. Select your language or leave as sounds.
6. Check for firmware updates and download if needed.
Set and Adjust Pressure with the Kalogon App/ Figure E
Pressure settings should be established by a clinician.
1. Sentinel will automatically adjust to a factory
default level for safety. This must be adjusted to
each individual user prior to usage.
2. Check the cushion air level by using the method
set out in the cushion Manufacturer's Manual,
e.g., a hand check to determine if the cushion
requires more or less air.
3. In the app, drag the line up or down to increase or
decrease the level of air in the cushion.
4. Once you release your finger from the line, the
Sentinel saves this pressure setpoint.
5. Wait while the larger green rectangle rises or falls
to meet the green line. The green rectangle
represents the real time pressure of the cushion.
6. Manually check the air level in the cushion again,
repeating steps 2-5 until the current desired level
of air is achieved.
7. The air pressure setpoint is automatically saved by
Sentinel. The device will then maintain this level of
air when the cushion is occupied by the user.
Changes to the air pressure setpoint can be made in the
future by pairing with the app again.
"Clinician Mode" Set and Adjust Pressure without the
App/ Figure F
1. Sentinel is set to a default pressure level to start,
which must be adjusted to the desired pressure
following the cushion's user instructions.
2. Press button A or B to wake the device.
3. Press both Pause (A) and Mute Alert Button (B) for
five full seconds to enter Clinician Mode.
4. When all three lights begin blinking, Sentinel is in
Clinician Mode.
5. Check the cushion air level by using the method set
out in the cushion manufacturer's manual, e.g., a
hand check to determine if the cushion requires
more or less air.
6. Use Pause Button (A) to adjust the air pressure
downwards and Mute Alert Button (B) to adjust the
air press upwards as required. The device will inflate
or deflate for the duration of time either button is
held.
7. After the buttons have not been pressed for 30
seconds, Sentinel will save the pressure setpoint and
exit Clinician Mode.
If inflating the cushion, the user should lift off the cushion
slightly to allow the cushion to fill properly. If the user is
unable to lift up, lean side to side.
Sentinel will not react to pressure changes caused by the
user while in Clinician Mode. The air level must be checked
using the method described in the cushion manual, e.g., a
hand check to verify the proper pressure has been set.
Placement
Once set up, place Sentinel in the cushion pocket or attach
to the chair using the optional clip.
Pause Mode
Pause Mode is intended to temporarily cause Sentinel to
stop all activity and responsiveness to external pressure
changes or user movement. The device will maintain the
seal on the valve and as such the cushion will retain the
previously set level of air and is therefore safe to be used.
This may be desirable if the user wishes to stop the
device's activity for a period of time. This also allows for a
hand check as per the cushion manufacturer's manual to
be performed. If the pause mode is not exited, Sentinel will
automatically exit pause mode after 30 minutes.
Sentinel is designed to maintain a clinically prescribed level
of air and therefore is not guaranteed to prevent bottoming
Out.
1. With Sentinel connected to the cushion and user
seated on cushion, press down the Pause Button (A)
for at least 1 second.
2. When Pause Button (A) is released the Sentinel will
enter pause mode, an audible note will be heard,
during which Sentinel stops adjusting to pressure
changes but does not affect the air-tight nature of
the device.
3. Pause mode can be exited by pressing again on the
Pause Button (A) for 1 second, and releasing. An
audible note will be heard.
Alerts On/Off
This turns off auditory alerts. Visual alerts in the form of
solid/blinking lights will continue.
• Check for leaks
• Cushion airway blocked
• Battery low
• Charging error
The device emits audible sounds when the user sits on their
cushion or transfers off. These sounds can be disabled via
the settings panel in the app or using the button on the
device.
1. Wake the device by briefly pressing either button OR
by sitting down
2. Turn off Alerts, press down on the Alerts Button (B)
for 1 second, then release.
3. To turn Alerts back on, press down on the Alerts
Button(B) for 1 second and release.
4. Alerts automatically turn back on after 30 minutes.
Ongoing Usage Indicators
Sentinel provides ongoing information based on colored
lights which can be viewed from the top of the device and
the side.
Green Light
• Solid Green: Sentinel detected user's presence
• Blinking Green: Sentinel detects user transferred off
Yellow Light
• Slow blink when plugged in: Charging
• Fast blink when unplugged: Low on battery
• Solid when plugged-in: Fully charged
Red Light
• Solid Red: Check for leak
• Blinking Red: Closed vent valve detected OR kinked
tube detected prior to initial use
If a leak is detected the device will audibly state "check for
leaks" once every 5 to 10 minutes while the leak is occurring.
Consult with your cushion manufacturer for recommended
cushion repair techniques.
Audio Cues
Audio indicators happen for the following situations.Please
review information under Alerts On/Off.
• Low battery - battery is under 10% of fully charged
◦ At battery levels of 5% and lower, the
device will shut off to preserve overall
battery longevity
• Check for leaks - The device alerts when a leak is
possible
• Clinician mode activation/deactivation
• Pairing mode activation
• Person detected on cushion - The device produces an
alert when it detects the user getting up or sitting
down
• Closed vent valve detected
Removing Sentinel
1. Users should NOT be sitting on the cushion when
detaching Sentinel.
2. Disconnect Sentinel and the cushion at the attached
cushion relief valve - this may take some wiggling to
disconnect.
3. Close vent valve on cushion after disconnecting
Sentinel.
