Surfaces
80 Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 15)
There are three primary surfaces: Progressa Prevention Surface, Progressa Therapy Surface, and
Progressa Pulmonary Surface.
Refer to “Surface Compatibility” on page 123 for a list of surfaces and bed frame function
compatibilities.
Refer to “Product Configuration Identification” on page 137 to identify the surface installed on the bed.
For an air surface to operate correctly, there must be a minimum of 70 lb (32 kg) on the surface.
Loose fitting sheets (preferably knitted) must be used for correct operation of the surface.
The Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed surfaces are designed especially to work with the following
system features:
• StayInPlace Patient Positioning
• SlideGuard Patient Position Mechanism
• FlexAfoot Retractable Foot Mechanism
• Chair Egress Patient Exit Position Mechanism
PROGRESSA PREVENTION/ESSENTIAL SURFACE
The Progressa Prevention Surface is foam with non-powered air cylinders.
PROGRESSA THERAPY SURFACE
Contraindication—Use of active air therapy surfaces for patients with unstable spinal cord injury could
cause serious injury to the patient.
The Progressa Therapy Surface has a MicroClimate Management (MCM) topper that operates
continuously while the patient is on the bed and helps decrease localized heat and moisture buildup
that occurs between the patient and the surface.
Modes
Normal
The normal mode of the surface provides continuous full-body pressure redistribution for patients 70 to
500 lb (32 to 227 kg). The surface provides pressure redistribution by automatically adjusting the air
system to accommodate changes in weight distribution.
Loose fitting sheets (preferably knitted) must be used to optimize the surface pressure redistribution.
Pressure Redistribution is always active unless one of these occur:
• Max-Inflate/P-Max Inflate is active
•AC power is not available
• An error with the surface
