Surfaces
WARNING:
Some safety features of the bed may not function or may not operate as intended with surfaces not
designed specifically for this bed. Check with the surface manufacturer to determine those safety
features of the bed that have been tested and verified to work properly with the replacement
surface. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or damage to equipment.
WARNING:
A sound risk assessment and protocol is necessary to determine the appropriate surface for the
patient's condition.
WARNING:
Only use StayInPlace™ Surfaces on beds equipped with the StayInPlace™ Feature. Injury,
through reduced performance, and equipment damage could occur.
Hill-Rom recommends the use of Hill-Rom® Surfaces that have been designed and tested specifically
for the bed. Customers electing to purchase replacement surfaces from other manufacturers should
confirm that the replacement surface, when used in conjunction with the bed, meets applicable
regulations, regulatory guidance and technical standards and does not create unacceptable risks of
injury to patients or caregivers. Specifically, Hill-Rom suggests that surfaces utilize dimensions and
construction to minimize gaps where entrapment could occur, provide for sufficient height between the
surface and the top of the siderail to prevent accidental roll-over events, provide appropriate firmness
at the edges of the surface to facilitate safe transfers into and out of the bed, and do not interfere with
the proper operation of siderails.
There are three primary surfaces: Progessa™ Prevention, Progessa™ Therapy, and Progessa™
Pulmonary.
See “Mattress Compatibility” on page 84 for a list of surfaces and bed frame function compatibilities.
See “Product Configuration Identification” on page 91 to identify the surface installed on the bed.
For an air mattress to operate correctly, there must be a minimum of 70 lb (32 kg) on the mattress.
Loose fitting sheets (preferably knitted) must be used for correct operation of the sleep surface.
The Progressa™ Bed surfaces are designed especially to work with the following system features:
• StayInPlace™ Patient Positioning
• Shearless Pivot® Patient Position Mechanism
• FlexAfoot® Retractable Foot Mechanism
• Chair Egress Patient Exit Position Mechanism
Progressa™ Prevention Surface
The Progressa™ Prevention Surface is foam with non-powered air cylinders.
WARNING:
The Progressa™ Prevention Surface is not to be used on beds with the Chair Egress feature.
Patient injury could occur.
