Intended Use
INTENDED USE
The AccuMax Quantum VPC Mattress is a therapeutic pressure
redistribution system comprised of foam-filled air cylinders that aid in the
prevention/treatment of pressure injuries in patients and residents with
up to moderate risk and/or Stage I and II pressure injuries when combined
with recommended turning protocols.
The AccuMax Quantum VPC Mattress can support a patient weight up to
500 lb (227 kg). Refer to the bed manufacturer’s user manual for the bed
safe working load.
Contraindication—Use of active therapy surfaces for patients with
unstable spinal cord injury or in cervical or skeletal traction could cause
serious injury to the patient.
Warning—Some safety features of the bed may not function or may not
operate as intended with mattresses that are not designed specifically for
this bed. Check with the mattress manufacturer to make sure that the
safety features of the bed have been tested and verified to operate
correctly with the replacement mattress. Failure to do so could cause
serious personal injury or equipment damage.
Hill-Rom recommends the use of Hill-Rom mattresses that have been
designed and tested specifically for the bed. If you purchase a
replacement mattress from Hill-Rom or another manufacturer, make sure
that the safety features of the bed have been tested and verified to
operate correctly with the replacement mattress. The replacement
mattress should meet the applicable regulations and technical standards
to minimize the risk of injury to patients and caregivers.
Mattresses should—
• Minimize the gaps where entrapment could occur
• Allow enough siderail height from the top of the mattress to the
top of the siderail to prevent accidental roll-overs
• Have appropriate firmness to assist with safe patient transfers
• Not interfere with siderail operation
