2. Intended use, indica� ons & contraindica� ons
Intended use:
It is easier to prevent pressure ulcers than to treat them. Bedsores
can be avoided by changing frequently lying or sea� ng posi� ons
to avoid stress on the skin and to minimize the risk of pressure on
vulnerable bony areas. Other strategies include skin care, regular
skin inspec� ons and good nutri� on.
Using an alterna� ng overlay ma� ress can help relieve pressure.
Ideal to prevent stage I bedsores.
This air alterna� ng ma� ress system is designed for pa� ents who are
at risk of pressure of ulcers or require treatment for exis� ng pressure
ulcers. This device is intended to treat and prevent pressure ulcers
by facilita� ng blood circula� on, reac� ve hyperaemia and decreasing
interface pressures.
The use of this system does not replace the regular reposi� oning,
monitoring, and nursing of the pa� ent.
Indica� ons:
• Preven� on of pressure ulcers in high-risk pa� ents
• Pain management
• Treatment of exis� ng pressure ulcers
• Preven� on of skin breakdown, bedridden pa� ent
Contraindica� ons:
• Unstable fractures of vertebrae and condi� ons of the vertebrae.
• Gross oedema, burns or an intolerance to mo� on
