More Details

Pump / Controls
* Choice of three care modes and comfort settings in an easy to operate digital control unit with tamper proof lockout, static time-outs and simple diagnostics. Intermittent operation ensures long pump life.

Safety features
* Medical grade power cord is run inside the mattress to avoid dangerous threading under the bed or on the floor.
* CPR rapid deflation

Considerations

All pressure reduction products must be monitored to prevent 'bottoming out'. This occurs when the user's weight bears down so hard on the product material that it is flattened and the bony parts are pressed against the surface below the cushion or mattress. Where bottoming out occurs even with correct use (eg correct inflation levels), a different product may need to be considered.

It is advisable that a health professional be consulted when considering a suitable pressure care product.
