The mattress is now in the fi lling phase while the LED
„Low Pressure" is lit. Adjust the weight* of the patient
(lying down) using the weight scale* on the device. When
the „Low Pressure" LED goes out and the „Normal Pres-
sure" LED comes on, the patient can be placed on the
system.
If a patient is to sit in bed for a short period of time, the
pressure in the cells must be increased. You can use the
outer blue weight scale* as a guide for this.
Important! The Med Aire DuoWave is not suitable for
long periods of sitting!

Alternating pressure function
All air chambers are evenly infl ated and defl ated in a 1:1
ratio. An alternating cycle involves in each case the infl a-
ting and defl ating of an air chamber and takes approx. 10
minutes. The fi rst 3 air chambers in the head area remain
static.
Static function
The Med Aire DuoWave has a static function as a stan-
dard feature.
This is switched on using the button
LED indicates that the static function is enabled.
The air chambers all maintain the same pressure and en-
sure adjustable pressure-relief positioning.
In static pressure-relief mode, the deepest point on the
patient (buttock/hip area) should sink into the system to
approximately approx. 3-4 cm.
Note: Perform a hand check to verify; see hand check
section.
Air fl ow
The alternating pressure system has nine air fl ow cells.
This group of air chambers is microperforated at the
edge and in this way, it ensures that the alternating pres-
sure system is actively supplied with air.
