sidhil Artemis - Mattress Overview; Turning the System On and Off; System Setup and Alternation

16
The zoned mattress offers 3 static head cells, 12 torso cells and 8 heel cells.
The cells can be inflated between a range of 13mmHg and 70mmHg, dependent on the
function chosen.
The heel section has narrower and lower cells. The lower cells offload pressure to
protrusions such as the heels and the narrower cells offer a more supportive surface
and ensure localised pressure relief for vulnerable areas.

Hold the button down until an audible signal sounds for a brief period. The screen
illuminates.
9.5.1. Turning On / Off
9.5. Control Unit Operation
The system will be ready for use after an initial inflation period of 20minutes. Once the
mattress is fully inflated the panel will instruct the user that the system is ready for use
and a short audible signal will sound.
If the system does not reach the required pressure it will sound a ‘low pressure’
indication after 20 minutes (see section 11).
To turn the system off hold the button down until the screen extinguishes.
Once a patient is positioned on the mattress the system will determine the patient’s
approximate weight and optimum pressure level within a period of 4 minutes. Once
weight detection is complete the mattress automatically defaults to alternation mode.
9.5.2. System Setup
The mattress utilises an ‘AB’ alternation cycle where alternate cells deflate and inflate.
As the system is detecting the patient weight the screen shows the changing pressure
differential between the A and B cells at that moment in time. In the illustration below A
= 34mmHg and B = 33mmHg
