Considerations

All pressure reduction products must be monitored to prevent any 'bottoming out'. This occurs when the user's weight bears down so hard on the product material that it is flattened and the bony prominences are pressed against the surface below the mattress or seating cushion. Where bottoming out occurs even with correct use (e.g. correct inflation levels), a different product may need to be used. User weights can change over time and the weight limit including linen on bed etc should not exceed the recommended product safe working load limit.

If non - blanchable erytheme is observed either reposition the patient more frequently or upgrade to a higher level support surface.

The mattress and cushion can be punctured.

Requirements

Standards

Standards
Some assistive technology needs to meet Australian or other standards. Standards may relate to materials, manufacturing and installation. Products that meet Australian or international standards will have written certification. To find out if a product meets Australian Standards ask the supplier to show you the certificate. For more information about standards also see
http://at-aust.org/home/assistive_technology/standards.html

TGA
Many of the items on the Assistive Technology Australia website are categorised as a Medical Device. Medical devices that are approved for use in Australia have been entered into a national database called the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). You can ask the supplier for the ARTG number for the device you wish to purchase and search the ARTG for the entry. To access information on the ARTG visit www.tga.gov.au

When buying a medical device it is advisable to only choose a medical device that is recommended by a healthcare professional and has been included on the ARTG.
