`The entire control unit was supplied to us by 9th Wave in
`Connecticut.
`
`The blower controllers werefproduced and sold in a two port
`version (one hose per side 0 a dual chamber mattress) and
`a 4 port version étwo hoses per side in a dual chamber
`mattress allowe for separate mid body adjustment and
`shared head/foot adjustment on each side of the mattress}.
`This controller utilized a motor inside the housin attache
`to a fan which directed air in to an open area an when the
`solenoid was energized it opened and allowed air to pass
`through the port.
`This was an on demand controllerthat had no memory
`settings or
`ressu re sensors.
`This contro Ier could not over pressurize the chambers
`si.
`because it could not generate pressure in excess of 1
`The hard wired remotes utilized a rocker switch to inf ate and
`deflate the chambers. There was one rocker switch per
`remote for the two hose version and two rocker switches per
`remote for the four hose version.

`II-Ihe PCB was from Arco as well as the manifold and the solenoids were from
`ope.
`° This manifold was a
`re-existin manifold from Apollo and we had to plug
`one port as you can see from tlle picture and then we had to add a piece of
`tubing to go from the top of the manifold to the pressure switch.

`° These were direct drive controllers meaning when a button was
`held down the pump would turn on and add air the entire time t e inflate
`button was held down until it reached 1 psi and then the mechanical pressure
`switch would cut off the power to the compressor. This was a pressure
`switch not a pressure transducer.
`- We purchased these outer housings from 9th Wave and drilled all the holes in
`them and then did all the assembly in Corona, CA. This same housing was
`used on a medical pump that was produced by 9th Wave.
`° The Gen 1 on demand pump controllers were produced and sold in a two port
`version (one hose per side of a dual chamber mattress) and a 4 port version
`(two hoses per side in a dual chamber mattress allowed for separate mid

`° This was an on demand controller that had no memory settings or pressure
`sensors.
`° The hard wired remotes utilized a membrane switch to inflate and deflate the
`chambers. There was two membrane switches per remote for the two hose
`version and four membrane switches per remote for the four hose version.

`numeric pressure setting.
`The PCBA was from Arco as well as the Manifold.
`
`This manifold was a gre-existing manifold and we had to plug a
`
`few ports as you can see from the picture and then we had to
`
`add a piece of tubing with a branch Y that sits under the PCB
`
`between the manifold and the front of the housing to allow the
`
`pressure sensor line to connect to the transducer.
`
`We purchased these outer housings in the USA and drilled all
`
`holes in them and then did all the assembly in Corona, CA. This
`
`same housing was used on a medical pump that was produced
`by 9th Wave (Ed Gilchrest).
`
`These controllers had a real
`
`time pressure display and we
`
`produced them in a 2 port and a 4 port version
`
`These were direct drive controllers meaning when a button was
`pressed and held down the pump would turn on an add air the entire
`time the inflate button was held down. While the pump was running
`the number on the remote would jump all around and then when you
`released the inflate button a real
`time pressure would then be
`displayed. As the pressure starts to increase during inflation and you
`continued to hold the inflate button down the compressor would turn
`off intermittently because it would think it was full and then it would
`turn off the compressor so it could take a proper reading and then it
`would realize it was not full and allow the compressor to turn back on
`again and this would continue to occur until the system reached the
`maximum setting of 40 mmHg.
`The controller also had two memory settings per elliptical remote and
`when you saved your favorite setting and you were at a different
`setting you could simply press the memory button and it would
`automatically go to that new ”target setting” and then stop. On its
`way to the target setting it would then again stop and start
`periodically so it could take a pressure reading and then add or
`release air a little at a time in order to move towards the target and
`ultimately reach it.
