To power on the system, press the green power switch on the pump unit.
Para apagar, presione nuevamente el interruptor de encendido.

5.2 Modos de terapia

The Domus 3 offers two therapy modes:

Modo alterno: This mode cyclically inflates and deflates individual air cells to redistribute pressure points, aiding in pressure injury prevention and treatment. This is the primary therapeutic mode.
Modo estático: This mode maintains a constant, stable surface pressure across the entire mattress. It is suitable for general use when alternating pressure is not required or desired.

Refer to the pump unit's controls to select the desired therapy mode.

Blue blocks represent inflated air cells, and arrows indicate the cyclical inflation and deflation pattern designed to redistribute pressure and prevent injury.

5.3 Pressure Adjustment (Firmness)

The pump unit features a variable pressure setting with a weight indicator.

Adjust the pressure knob on the pump unit according to the patient's weight and comfort preference.
Higher weight settings will result in firmer mattress inflation.
Always ensure the patient is comfortable and adequately supported.

5.4 Low Air Loss Function

Air cells 3 through 11 are designed with a low air loss feature. This function continuously ventilates air to wick moisture and heat away from the mattress surface, contributing to patient comfort and skin integrity. This operates automatically when the system is powered on.
