ILLUSTRATION DESCRIPTIONS
1. Outer Removable
Coverlet:
The purple-colored coverlet is fluid proof, cleanable and flame resistant. It can
be replaced if damaged or worn. The outer coverlet is highly vapor permeable
(4500 grams/meter 2 /24 hours) and fluid-proof. Both of its fabrics (smooth top
fabric and the crush-proof air diffusion matrix fabric) are bacteriostatic.
Coverlet can be routinely wiped clean and disinfected in place, or can be
removed and machine laundered according to directions in this manual.
2. Inner Air-Delivery
Cover
The gray, multi-layered cover serves as a barrier, protecting the inside of the
mattress from both fluids and vapors, while supplying air to the
microenvironment between the cover and coverlet. Unlike the purple removable
coverlet, it is intended to remain on the mattress at all times. It can be cleaned
and disinfected in place using standard hospital, medical grade products. The air
delivery cover is a greenish gray urethane coated fabric with a welded pattern
and air holes designed to deliver air flow to the top of the mattress to flow
underneath the patient in the removal of moisture from the patient’s skin.
3. Air Cylinders
The inflation system consists of air cylinders that run lengthwise underneath the
body. Unlike typical low air loss systems, the cylinder inflation system does not
lose air from the inflation system for "low air loss", and can be programmed to
perform either Flotation or Alternating Pressure; in the LR model they can also
perform Lateral Rotation. The cycles and inflation levels are designed to provide
and maintain low interface pressures throughout the mattress, and to
redistribute peak interface pressure points during all Therapy Modes.
4. Foam Shell
The Geo-Matt
®
style foam topper is a high density, medical grade foam. The
unique geometric design consists of over 800 individual cells, each of which acts
individually to customize patient comfort, support, and pressure reduction and
redistribution. This foam topper is 1.5" in height and includes the unique Heel
Slope™ feature, designed to further reduce pressure for the sensitive heel area.
The patented Safety Edge™ consists of contoured foam bolsters around the
perimeter and ends of the mattress for added patient stability and positioning.
5. Control Unit
The quiet, energy efficient control unit houses both a high volume air blower and
a lower volume air compressor. The blower component provides air for the low
air loss function through the cover/coverlet,
while the compressor component provides air to the air-cylinder inflation system.
The filters on the control unit need to be cleaned regularly.
