INTENDED USE FOR AURALIS 6
Intended use for Auralis
The Auralis System is intended for use by caregivers in acute and post-acute care facilities including, long-term
care, home care facilities and private homes.
The system is indicated for the prevention and/or management of all categories of pressure injuries
(pressure ulcer) when combined with an individualised, comprehensive pressure ulcer protocol; for example,
repositioning, nutritional support, skin care.
The system represents one aspect of a pressure injury (pressure ulcer) management protocol, all other aspects
of care should be considered by the prescribing clinician. If existing wounds do not improve, or the patient’s
condition changes the overall therapy regimen should be reviewed by the prescribing clinician.
The above are guidelines only and should not replace clinical judgement. The system provides two modes of
therapy: ‘reactive pressure redistribution’ and ‘active (alternating) pressure redistribution’.

Any other use is prohibited.
Patient assessment
• We recommend that facilities establish regular assessment routines. Caregivers should assess each patient
according to the following criteria prior to use:
• For the Auralis mattress, the patient weight must not exceed 250 kg (550 lb) for the standard and narrow
mattresses
• For the Auralis Seat Cushion, the patient weight must not exceed 200 kg (440 lb).
• For the Auralis Plus mattress, the patient is within the weight range of 100 kg (220 lb) to 454 kg (1000 lb).
• For the Auralis Plus mattress, the patient Body Mass Index (BMI) is >30
Contraindications
Do not use with patients with unstable cervical, thoracic and/or lumbar fracture, cervical traction, and skeletal
traction.
Cautions
If patients have other unstable fractures, or conditions which may be complicated by a soft or moving surface,
advice should be sought from an appropriate clinician before use. While the Standard and Narrow Auralis
mattress system has been designed to manage patients up to the weight limits indicated above, those
approaching this upper limit are likely to have additional care and mobility needs and may be better suited to a
system with a higher weight limit such as Auralis Plus mattress.
Expected service life
The expected service life of the Auralis pump is seven (7) years, subject to preventive maintenance being
carried out in accordance with the instructions for care and maintenance found in the Instructions for Use.
