Surface Features and
Use
WARNING:
The surface is not a
substitute for good
nursing practices. The
surface should be used in
conjunction with a good
risk assessment and protocol.
WARNING:
Sleep surface impermeability and pressure relief capabilities can
be affected by needle sticks or other bladder punctures and can
cause the air system to fail. Caregivers should be instructed to
prevent
bladder punctures caused by
needle sticks
and
incorrect use of x-ray cassette holders.
The sleep surface should be regularly inspected for punctures, rips,
tears, or other such damage. Replace the surface as necessary.
WARNING:
Occupants with body weight or length near the recommended
limits should be monitored more frequently for good results. It
may be necessary to lower the head section for better pressure
performance.
The P500 surface accommodates an occupant weight from 70 lb to
500 lb (32 kg to 227 kg), a width up to 35" (89 cm), and a height
between 59" and 74" (150 cm to 188 cm). This surface effectively
redistributes pressure for occupant weights up to 500 lb (227 kg).
