Hill-Rom® P500 Therapy Surface User Manual (158251 REV 3)
The P500 surface uses Advanced Microclimate™ Technology (AMT).
AMT operates continuously while the occupant is on the bed and helps
decrease localized heat and moisture buildup that occurs between the
occupant and the surface. The minimum occupant weight for AMT to
operate as intended is 70 lb (32 kg).
NOTE:
The P500 surface should always be used with the AMT coverlet
installed.
NOTE:
We recommend that you do not use accessories such as plastic under
pads with the P500 surface. Such products can prevent the flow of
moisture from the occupant’s skin to the AMT coverlet.
Nano Ag+® Technology with SmartSilver® Ions
The use of nano Ag+® Technology with SmartSilver® Ions supplies
surface protection as an antimicrobial that kills > 99.8% of stain and
odor causing bacteria on the surface. This product is not intended to
protect users or others against bacteria, viruses, germs, or other disease
organisms. Always disinfect Hill-Rom surfaces thoroughly after each
use according to facility/healthcare protocol.
Handle surfaces with nano Ag+® Technology as you would other
surfaces; there are no known concerns for handling, discarding, toxicity,
or allergic reactions.
X-Ray Cassette Sleeve
The surface has an x-ray cassette sleeve
that permits a 17" x 14" x-ray cassette to
be inserted from either side of the
coverlet.
WARNING:
When you x-ray an occupant on the
surface, do not misidentify the sensor,
cable, or two springs that are in the
fluoroscopy window.
To use the cassette sleeve, do as follows:
1.
Put the surface in the Max Inflate
mode (see “Max Inflate” on page
21).
