PROGRESSA PULMONARY SURFACE
The Progressa Pulmonary Surface features are the same as the Progressa Therapy Surface, with the
addition of Rotation, Percussion and Vibration, and Opti-Rest features. Refer to “Progressa Therapy
Surface” on page 80 for Progressa Therapy Surface operation.
To help prevent serious patient injury, be aware of these contraindications:
• Contraindication—Use of active air therapy surfaces for patients with unstable spinal cord
injury could cause serious injury to the patient.
• Contraindication—Use of continuous lateral rotation therapy is contraindicated for patients
with cervical or skeletal traction.
To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—Use care when you transfer a patient from the bed to another surface.
• Warning—Operating Percussion and Vibration and Rotation Therapy together at higher than
typical settings may cause elevated surface temperatures and patient harm, for example, the
combination of the following control settings:
• Rotation therapy programmed at 100% with a 1 minute center pause time
• Rotation therapy operating continuously
• Percussion and Vibration programmed at a high setting
• Percussion and Vibration operating for 1 hour periods, greater than the rate of 1 hour for
every 5 hours of Rotation therapy operation
• Warning—The patient may move laterally on the surface when rotation is active.
• Warning—Monitor the condition of the patient’s skin when extended dwell times are used
during continuous lateral rotation therapy.
The recommended therapeutic weight range for pressure relief and turning capabilities is 70 to 500 lb
(32 to 227 kg).
The pulmonary 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.
2. Press Right or Left Turn Assist. The control turns
green when active.
• To stop Turn Assist, press the Normal control.
• To hold the turn at less than the full angle, press
the Hold control while the Turn Assist is inflating.
After 28 minutes, a beep will sound and a screen will
appear that there are 2 minutes left. The caregiver has the
option of keeping the surface in Turn Assist or let it return
to Normal Mode.
If the siderail the patient is turning towards is lowered the
turn assist will stop.
To Deactivate
• Press Normal.
