Start-up of ThevoActiv

a) Assembly
1. Please note, that the ThevoActiv mattress is delivered in an extra box. The underframe is folded in the middle
(img. 8) and equipped with a cover. Lay the underframe flat on the floor, ensure that the side elements interlock
(img. 9) and open the cover. The connection thorns have to be placed tight and flush into the side elements at the
connection points 1 and 2. (img 10) Close the cover afterwards.
2. Lay the underframe on the existing slatted frame or inlay frame of your bed. Please pay attention to the label for the
head and foot section.
3. Now lay the mattress on the underframe.
Important hint: ThevoActiv can also be used without a pre-existing slatted frame. In this case the supporting surfaces
along the sides of the bed base must be at least 10 cm (
Hint: If you have a bed with side rails you will probably need to use side rail extensions.
4. Pull the supply pipe through one of the holes in the black fixation flaps of the mattress cover.
5. The black fixation flaps of the mattress cover in the head and foot section must be flapped around the underframe
and closed with the zipper. (img. 11)
6. The underframe of ThevoActiv is safely fixed to the bed frame with the 6 belts. Thread the belts around the tubular
frame of the bed. Thread the belt through the buckle and pull it tight. To release the belt, open the buckle and pull out
the belt. (img. 12)
Attention: If you have a height adjustable bed, please fix the belts to the lifting system.
b) Securely fix the control unit to the bed.
c) Plug the line cord of the control unit (230V or 110 V) into a power socket.
d) Switch the power switch on(light turns red).

Changing the movement pattern

As soon as the light emitting diode (LED) on the front of the device flashes, please press the start button at the control
unit and the system will start working. The last chosen program starts running, indicated by the LEDs at the control keys
(img. 1, 4).
a) Stop the currently running active movement pattern by pressing the start/stop-switch at the control unit.
b) Select the now desired new movement pattern (wave, rotation, inclined plane, static) and/or its speed level (fast,medium,
slow) by tapping on the corresponding function key. The selection will be confirmed by flashing of the corresponding
LED. The function „static" (bar symbol) is without speed.
c) Re-activate the system by pressing the start/stop-switch.
Hint: In case of an emergency (resuscitation), you can stop the movement pattern by pressing the power switch!

The movement patterns of ThevoActiv

Due to different movement patterns ThevoActiv can be adjusted to the patient's individual needs. The system runs in
an interval of 6 minutes movement pattern and 4 minutes pause. The pause is indicated by flashing of the green "Activ"
LED.
The following movement patterns are available:
1. Wave (img. 13)
The actors are approached paralelly right and left. The stimulation pattern is similar to a wave that occasionally flows
from the feet to the head and back. The speed can be selected, as desired, in three steps from slow to fast. This
stimulation pattern allows a body perception of the patient from head to foot.
2. Rotation (img. 14)
The actors are approached staggered right and left. This results in reverse wave mountains being globally looked
upon as equivalent to a rotation. The direction of rotation is reversed after 3 runs. Here too, the flow speed can
be chosen in three steps. The motion of rotation ensures an increased attention with the patient. Due to the stimulation
of body zones locally lying far apart from each other and the reverse direction a perception of the body is given in its
length, but also in its right and left body half.
