Surfaces
Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 15) 81
To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—The therapy surface is not a substitute for good nursing practices. Therapy modes
should be used in conjunction with good assessment and protocol. Failure to follow good
nursing practices may result in patient harm.
• Warning—Sleep surface impermeability and pressure relieving capabilities of the surface
could be affected by needle sticks or other bladder punctures. Caregivers should be instructed
to AVOID surface cover and bladder damage caused by improper use of x-ray cassette holders
and sharp objects that may puncture or lacerate the surface. The surface should be regularly
inspected for damage. Undetected damage to the surface may result in patient harm.
Refer to the GCI home screen or Surfaces status page on the GCI screen to determine the active therapy
surface mode.
To Put the Surface in Normal Mode
1. Press the Surface menu control on the GCI home
screen.
2. Press Normal.
Warning—Patients with body weight or height near the recommended limits should be monitored
more frequently for desired results. Lower the head section to optimize pressure performance if
necessary.
Max-Inflate/P-Max Inflate
The Max-Inflate/ P-Max Inflate mode maximizes the firmness of the primary section of the patient
surface. This assists in patient surface-to-surface transfers and/or repositioning.
The Progressa Therapy Surface will automatically exit the Max-Inflate/P-Max Inflate mode and return
to normal mode after 30 minutes. After 28 minutes, a beep will sound and a message will show on the
GCI screen that there are 2 minutes left. The caregiver has the option of keeping the surface in Max-
Inflate or let it return to normal mode.
