Introduction
Thank you for choosing to use the Talley ATTIVO™ seating system. In doing so you have selected
an effective product for the prevention and management of pressure ulcers which is suitable
for seated patients with reduced mobility who are at high risk of pressure damage.
Suitable for use within all care environments, the ATTIVO™ seating system features an
alternating air pressure cycle to provide a continuous pressure-relieving wave, helping to
promote circulation to areas normally occluded during prolonged seated periods. Dual power
technology offers both mains and battery operation, enabling at least 24 hours of continuous
running time on a full battery charge.
The system will benefit from careful installation and use, providing a long and effective service
life. Please read this user manual in order to achieve the best possible results.
