Heel Cell Zones - Softcloud Pro - Invacare SoftCloud Ace Manual Del Usuario

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.
