Surface Information
64 Progressa+ Bed Instructions for Use (216321 REV 2)
Warning—(Warnings continued) To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these
warnings:
• Warning—Check the patient’s skin condition when you use the extended dwell times in
Rotation Therapy.
• Warning—If the surface has an MCM topper, make sure it is installed before a patient is put on
the bed.
The recommended therapeutic weight range for pressure relief and turning capabilities is 70 to 500 lb
(32 to 227 kg).
The Progressa+ Accelerate 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.
The surface uses the input from the bed scale system to adjust the cushion pressures based on the
patient’s weight.
Warning—The 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. Reduced performance could occur.
Rotation
Warning—To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—Observe lines closely during rotations and/or patient positioning. Always use good
line management techniques to prevent lines and tubing from becoming dislodged during
rotation and/or patient positioning.
• Warning—During rotation, monitor patient rotation position and make sure that the patient
stays centered on the surface with shoulders correctly aligned and that there is sufficient slack
in lines for patient movement and surface rotation.
• Warning—Monitor the condition of the patient’s skin when extended dwell times are used
during continuous lateral rotation therapy.
The rotation mode provides gentle, side-to-side, continuous lateral rotation therapy (CLRT) to aid in the
prevention and treatment of pulmonary complications related to immobility. Patients can be positioned
laterally on the right or left side with varying amounts of turn and pause times to match each individual
patient’s condition. Pressure redistribution is provided when the rotation mode is active.
