Frequently asked questions
Is the LS300 highly effective for pressure ulcer management?
Yes, the Graham-Field Lumex Select APM System LS300 is a specialized mattress replacement unit engineered specifically for the active prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.
It utilizes advanced pressure management technologies:
- Alternating Pressure (2:1 Cycle): Cells inflate and deflate in a 2:1 ratio, ensuring continuous pressure redistribution and relief to prevent prolonged tissue compression. Caregivers can select alternation times of 10, 15, or 20 minutes.
- Low Air Loss Technology: Provides continuous airflow to help manage heat and moisture against the patient’s skin, supporting overall skin health.
For enhanced safety, the system incorporates Cell-on-Cell Therapy, ensuring that the bottom air cells remain inflated even if the upper cells deflate or during a power failure, maintaining essential support and protection.
Is an Auto Firm feature included for safer transfers?
Yes, the Lumex Select APM System includes an Auto Firm feature.
This setting is designed to immediately inflate the entire mattress to maximum firmness. This creates a stable and secure surface, which is essential for safely performing patient transfers and various caregiver tasks or medical procedures.
Is a low-pressure safety alarm included?
Yes, the Graham-Field Lumex Select APM System LS300 features an essential audio alarm that activates if the mattress detects a low-pressure failure.
This safety feature immediately alerts caregivers to potential issues. Key details regarding the alarm system include:
- The alarm is triggered specifically by low-pressure failures.
- It can be temporarily muted for 20 minutes via the ALARM RESET Button on the front control panel, allowing staff time to address the underlying issue without continuous noise.
Is there a quick-release CPR valve?
Yes, for essential safety during critical events, the Graham-Field Lumex Select APM System features a Quick Release CPR Valve. This valve enables rapid deflation of the mattress, ensuring caregivers can gain immediate access for resuscitation efforts.
Does it include a durable, fully zippered cover?
Yes, the complete system includes a Fully Zippered Quilted Cover along with the mattress and pump/control unit. This cover is designed for optimal patient comfort and ease of care in clinical settings:
- Enhanced Comfort: The quilting provides an essential, soft layer over the alternating pressure surface.
- Hygienic Maintenance: The fully zippered design allows for quick and easy removal for cleaning and sanitation.
What customizable therapy settings are included?
The Lumex Select APM System LS300 is highly adjustable, offering several key customizable settings for optimal pressure management:
- Comfort Settings: The system provides 5 distinct Comfort Settings to tailor the firmness and baseline pressure of the mattress to patient needs.
- Alternation Cycle Time: Caregivers can precisely control the duration of the pressure relief cycle, with settings available for 10, 15, or 20 minutes.
- Static Function: You can engage the Static Function to halt the alternating pressure cycle, providing continuous low air loss therapy instead.
- Auto Firm Feature: An Auto Firm feature is included for rapidly increasing support when necessary for patient transfer or nursing procedures.
Is the alternation time adjustable?
Yes, the alternating pressure cycle time on the Lumex Select LS300 is fully adjustable to meet individual patient needs and optimize pressure relief therapy. This flexibility is crucial for effective pressure management.
You can select from three distinct cycle duration settings:
- 10 minutes
- 15 minutes
- 20 minutes
What is the maximum weight capacity?
