AIR SUPPLY UNIT
For air surfaces, the air supply unit shows a real-time display of air pressure for the head, seat, and foot
sections of the surface assembly.
For a Compella™ Therapy Surface, the amount of pressure to support a patient is based on the
patient’s height and weight that is entered during setup. This provides custom weight-based pressure
redistribution. All settings are stored in non-volatile memory. If power is interrupted, the air supply unit
automatically returns to the previous settings when the power returns.
The air supply unit has these controls:
• Menu—selects the Menu options.
• Enter—moves to and from the Patient Setup screen.
• Help—shows the Help screen.
• Arrows—selects settings on the Patient Setup screen.
