IGI – Automatic Therapy
eMotion smart bed – IGI Guide
Automatic Full-Rotation Therapy (AFRT)
The Therapy screen controls and displays everything related to the Therapy with automatic motions.
It can be adjusted to the patient’s current condition to either improve pulmonary outcomes or prevent pressure injuries.
Carefully assess the patient’s condition and intubation before using the AFRT, and make sure they can go through the programmed motions.
Carefully assess the bed perimeter before using the AFRT, and make sure it doesn’t collide with anything during the programmed motions.
To start an Automatic Therapy, the bed platform must be horizontal and at a defined height. Use the Therapy Position function for faster positioning.
To start an Automatic Therapy, the side rails must be raised.
To use the Therapy Position function, the function locks can’t be active.
After finishing a Therapy of at least 1 cycle, the time and name of the therapy are automatically saved in the Medical Records screen.
