Auto SureFloat™
__________________________________________________________________________
Check patient at least every 8 hours or once per shift, to assure proper system inflation.
4. To prevent accidental changes in settings, press and hold the LOCKOUT button for approximately 3
seconds.
Manual Mode – A/P
5. If alternating low pressure management is desired, press the Mode Select button until the lights
adjacent to the MANUAL and A/P icons are illuminated. If A/P (alternating pressure) is selected in
combination with Manual mode, every other cell within the mattress will alternately increase and
decrease pressure every 2½ minutes.
10.2 Use with M1000S Mattress (with Active Sensor Technology™)
Automatic Mode - Float
1. Automatic mode of operation is engaged automatically at the press of the ON button (when the
M1000S Mattress sensor cord is plugged into the Control Unit). The indicator adjacent to the AUTO icon
will light indicating the automatic mode is active.
2. To select Float, press the Mode Select button until the indicators adjacent to the Float and Auto icons
are illuminated.
3. The automatic mode requires no user input to determine the appropriate inflation level for the patient.
The active sensors in the mattress located under the patient's pelvic region, in conjunction with the
Control Unit, automatically determine the optimal inflation level for the patient to ensure complete
flotation.
Theory
While in Automatic Float mode, the Control Unit continually repeats a deflation/inflation cycle. The
inflation level of the mattress is lowered until the lowest allowable flotation height is sensed (via
feedback from the active sensors in the mattress). It is then slowly increased until the appropriate
patient flotation height is sensed. This is approximately four fingers width under the patient's pelvic
region but will vary with patient weight and build.
If the patient sinks into the mattress for any reason, (such as elevation of the head section or other part
of the bed) the Control Unit will automatically increase the inflation level until the appropriate flotation
height is again realized.
Disconnecting the mattress sensor cord from the Control Unit while in automatic mode will cause an
audible alarm to sound and indicators adjacent to the ALARM SILENCE and AUTO icons to flash. This
alarm can be indefinitely silenced by pressing the ALARM SILENCE button. Reconnect the mattress
sensor cord to the jack on the right side of the unit, or press the Mode Select button to disengage the
automatic mode.
Connecting the mattress sensor cord to the Control Unit while the system is not in automatic mode will
engage the automatic mode automatically and light the indicator adjacent to the AUTO button
4. To prevent accidental changes in settings, press and hold the LOCKOUT button for approximately 3
seconds.
