9.2 Control panel – CliniCare 100 HF with Micro-Climate Management
The control panel of the SCU serves to control the mattress replacement system and shows errors. Alarms are signaled by illumina-
tion of the indicator 2.

Position Control / Indicator Function
1 Pressure control dial Adjusting the mattress pressure for more comfort or support of the
patient
HIGH: High pressure
LOW: Low pressure
2 Low pressure indicator Indicates low pressure in the mattress (see System errors).
3 Power switch I : ON
O : OFF
4 Mode selection switch MCM: Fully in ated mattress. Static mode with micro-climate manage-
ment.
APT + MCM: Alternating pressure therapy. Dynamic mode with micro-
-climate management.
9.2.1 MCM – Micro-Climate Management
MCM mode provides a stable non-alternating surface for the patient when getting into or out of bed or if required when performing
nursing procedures, whilst also maintaining a circulating micro climate beneath the patient. Air cell pressure can be varied using the
manual pressure control.
When MCM mode is selected:
SCU will in ate the 8 air cells under the patients torso to the same pressure.
9.2.2 APT+MCM – Alternating pressure therapy + Micro-Climate Management
In APT + MCM mode CliniCare 100 HF operates by alternating pressure in a two cell system in a 12 minute interval cycle. This imi-
tates the natural movement of the patient. During this cycle reduced pressure acts on the patient which helps to prevent and treat
pressure sores. Whilst also maintaining a circulating microclimate beneath the patient.
When APT mode is selected:
■ 2-cell mattress will in ate and de ate in cycles of 12 minutes.
