9.3.1 APT – Alternating pressure therapy
CliniCare 100 HF operates by alternating pressure in a two cell system in a 12 minute interval cycle. This imitates the natural move-
ment of the patient. During this cycle reduced pressure acts on the patient which helps to prevent and treat pressure sores.
When APT mode is selected:
■ 2-cell mattress will in ate and de ate in cycles of 12 minutes.
