Following operations apply only to CuroCell A4 regardless of which mattress that is used. Read the label of the control unit carefully to make sure that you know which control unit you have.
Operation CuroCell® A4 (how to get started)
- Set the On/Off switch on the side of the control unit to position 1 (On).
- The mattress starts to inflate. This takes about 20-40 minutes depending on the size of the mattress. While the mattress is inflating, the ”mute the information signal” and ”information signal” diodes light up in orange. When these diodes goes out, the user can be placed on the mattress.
- The pulsating mode setting is pre-set. If a different setting is desired, it can be selected when the user is placed on the mattress.
- The control unit sets the inner pressure of the mattress according to the weight, length, and position of the user. This takes about 20-30 minutes. During this time, the diode above the selected program flashes. When the diode stops flashing, the mattress is set and the inner pressure has adjusted according to the user.
- Perform a hand check to ensure that the settings are correct.
Note
- Each time the system starts up, it will operate as follows:
- When using a mattress without an air safety mattress (CuroCell® OP10, CuroCell® CX10 or CuroCell® CX16), the control unit will completely inflate the main cells and then perform an automatic setting.
- When using a mattress with an air safety mattress (CuroCell® CX15 or CuroCell® CX20), the control unit always begins by completely inflating the safety mattress, followed by the other cells, and then perform an automatic setting.
- During the automatic setting, try to avoid larger movements on the mattress. Otherwise, you will get a notification on that the desired value could not be reached within the time limit and the weighting must start over.
- When using a mattress with a safety mattress in foam (CuroCell® CX16), the user can lie on the mattress even when not inflated. When using a mattress with an air safety mattress (CuroCell® CX15 or CuroCell® CX20), this must be inflated before the user can lie on the mattress. In both cases, the safety mattress will carry the load.
- Once automatic setting is complete, the control unit switches to a basic setting of Pulsating mode (when used for the first time) or to the previous setting
