PROGRESSA+ ACCELERATE SURFACE
The Progressa+ Accelerate Surface features are the same as the Progressa+ Advance Surface, with the
addition of Rotation and Percussion and Vibration. Refer to “Progressa+ Advance Surface” page 57 for
Progressa+ Advance Surface operation.
Contraindication—Use of active air therapy surfaces for patients with unstable spinal cord injury could
cause serious injury to the patient.

cervical or skeletal traction.
Warning—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.
