To Activate
1. Press the Surface button on the GCI.
2. Press Right or Left Turn Assist. The button 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

Progressa™ Pulmonary Surface
The pulmonary surface features are the same as the Progressa™ Therapy surface, with the addition
of Rotation, Percussion and Vibration, and Opti-Rest features. See “Progressa™ Therapy Surface” on
page 55 for Therapy Surface operation.
WARNING:
Use of active air therapy surfaces for patients with unstable spinal cord injury could cause serious
injury to the patient.
WARNING:
Use care when you transfer a patient from the bed to another surface. Injury could occur.
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
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 Micro-climate 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 input from the bed scale system to adjust the cushion pressures based on the
patient’s weight.
WARNING:
Sleep surface impermeability and pressure relieving capabilities of the sleep surface could be
affected by needle sticks or other bladder punctures. Caregivers should be instructed to AVOID
surface ticking and bladder damage caused by improper use of x-ray cassette holders and sharp
objects that may puncture or lacerate the surface.
