Frequently asked questions
Does this system effectively prevent pressure ulcers?
Yes, this system is specifically engineered for pressure ulcer prevention and treatment. It uses an active, low-air-loss mattress overlay combined with alternating pressure cycles to manage pressure, shear, and friction, helping to maintain skin integrity.
Can I use this on my standard home mattress?
Absolutely. The pad features a universal 78 x 36-inch design, making it highly versatile for use on: <ul><li>Standard hospital beds</li><li>Twin, full, queen, or king-sized domestic mattresses</li></ul>
Is the material safe for those with latex allergies?
Yes. This mattress pad is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safer option for patients with latex sensitivities.
How does the alternating pressure function work?
The variable pressure pump provides two distinct modes: <ul><li>Static Mode: Provides consistent support.</li><li>Alternating Mode: Cycles pressure every 12 minutes to redistribute weight and reduce shear, promoting better microclimate control.</li></ul>
Is the construction durable enough for daily use?
The pad is built with 130 individually heat-sealed air bubbles, which are designed to provide both even weight distribution and long-lasting durability for 24-hour care.
What is the maximum weight capacity for this system?
This pressure redistribution system supports patients up to 300 lbs (136 kg).
Is this system difficult to set up at home?
Not at all. The kit includes everything needed for setup, including the pump, pad, and tubing. Assembly is straightforward: simply connect the inflation tubes between the pump and the pad. Detailed instructions are included in the manual to guide you through the process.
Does the system meet medical electrical safety standards?
Yes, the equipment is fully compliant with international electrical safety standards, including UL 1431, EN 60601-1, and EN 60601-1-2.
What material is used to construct the air cells?
The mattress pad is made from high-quality low-toxic PVC (vinyl) that is EN-71 compliant, ensuring it meets safety standards for medical-grade patient equipment.
Is there anything I should know regarding material safety?
While the product is medical-grade, please note that it contains Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP). This is a standard component in many medical vinyl products, but it is identified by the State of California as a chemical that may cause reproductive harm or other health issues if handled improperly.
