Mobilizing and Securing the Patient
The CPR function and the therapeutic modes and alarms are not available
when the mattress is OFF.
This device is designed for optimal therapeutic benefits when the
adjustable head section is inclined to between 0° and 45°.
Raising the head of bed to 45° or higher increases the risk of pressure ulcer
formation in the sacral area.
Patients are ideally positioned when their hip is aligned with the patient position
indicator on the bed.
Understanding the Therapeutic Mode
The Accella™ Therapy device has two therapeutic modes: the Continuous Low
Pressure (CLP) and Alternating Low Pressure (ALP), with a permanent
regulation by the sensored
I-mmersion™ in each of these modes.
Irrespective of the positions of the bed frame articulations, this device detects the
weight and the position of the patient and automatically adjusts the pressure of
the support accordingly.
The I-mmersion
™
Therapy also includes an alarm that is activated whenever a
fault occurs in the control system. This may happen if the patient is too heavy,
and about to touch the under mattress. In this case, lower the backrest until the
alarm stops.
