System Optimisation The
Nimbus 3 and Nimbus 3 Professional systems
automatically compensate for patient weight
distribution and position, to optimise the pressure
relieving performance.
To make sure that the pressure relieving properties are not impaired, the
mattress cover must not be pulled tight and covering sheets should fit loosely
using the attached clips.
The system provides two modes of operation:
•
Dynamic mode provides the optimum pressure
relieving performance and should be used in most
cases. In
Dynamic mode the support surface beneath
the patient is cycled every 10 minutes.
•
Static mode provides a stable, non-moving support
surface for instances where a dynamic support
surface is contra-indicated. In
Static mode the
support surface remains constant (all cells are
equally inflated).
Nimbus 3 Professional
Mattress only
On the Nimbus 3 Professional system, the following
therapeutic positioning controls along the side of the
mattress offer further operating modes in combination
with the
Dynamic pressure relief option, to assist with
pressure area and patient care management:
1. Head Section Deflate Control. This controls the
three cells in the Head Section:
•
Dynamic (Normal) Mode, where the three Head
cells are inflated at a constant pressure and the
remaining 17 cells alternate.
•
TriCell Head Section Deflate, where the three Head
cells are fully deflated, and the Shoulder Support
Cell is inflated to a constant pressure to support
the patient’s shoulders. The remaining 16 cells
alternate.
2. 16 Vent Valves.
The seven Torso cells, four Thigh cells and five
Heelguard cells have individual Ve n t Va l v e s to
allow each cell to be independently deflated.
Selecting the
Operating Mode
• The pump defaults to the
Dynamic operating mode
when switched on.
•Both
Static and Dynamic modes of operation are
selected by the
STATIC button on the front panel.
•When
Static mode is selected the indicator on the
STATIC button illuminates.
