Precision Control with the Dolphin Pediatric AutoVector Control Unit

The AutoVector Control Unit by Joerns Healthcare is a key component of the Dolphin Fluid Immersion Simulation® (FIS) system, designed to provide real-time pressure redistribution. It uses advanced microprocessor technology to continuously analyze and adjust the mattress surface based on the patient's weight, shape, and movements. This automatic calibration eliminates the need for manual adjustments, ensuring a personalized level of support that minimizes pressure points and enhances patient comfort.

Fluid Immersion Simulation Technology for Advanced Wound Care

Fluid Immersion Simulation (FIS) Technology is an advanced pressure redistribution system that mimics the effects of a body being suspended in fluid. This unique approach reduces tissue deformation and shear forces, helping to maintain near-normal blood flow and prevent pressure injuries. FIS technology provides three-dimensional volumetric engagement, which optimally supports patients with conditions like pressure ulcers, post-operative wounds, or grafts, promoting faster healing and improved overall comfort.

Key Controls

• POWER Button: Activates the system from standby mode. A green light indicates that the unit is operational.
  
  
• MODE Button: Allows users to toggle between different operational modes, such as Bed and Chair/Stretcher modes, depending on the connected support surface.
  
  
• IMMERSION PROFILE Indicator: Displays the system's response to patient position changes. A green light signifies an optimal setting, while yellow and red lights indicate that the system is adjusting to a new position.
