Surfaces
60 Progressa® Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 9)
PROGRESSA® THERAPY SURFACE
Warning—Use of an active air therapy surfaces for patients with unstable spinal cord injury could cause
serious injury to the patient.
The Progressa® Therapy 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.
Modes
Normal
The normal mode of the surface provides continuous full-body pressure redistribution for patients
70 to 500 lb (32 to 227 kg). The surface provides pressure redistribution by automatically adjusting the
air system to accommodate changes in weight distribution.
Loose fitting sheets (preferably knitted) must be used for correct operation of the sleep surface.
Pressure Redistribution is always active unless one of these occur:
•Max-Inflate is active
•AC power is not available
• An error with the surface
To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—The therapy surface is not a substitute for good nursing practices. Therapy modes
should be used in conjunction with good assessment and protocol. Failure to follow good
nursing practices may result in patient harm.
• Warning—Sleep 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. The surface should be regularly
inspected for damage. Undetected damage to the surface may result in patient harm.
Refer to the GCI home screen or Surfaces status page on the GCI to determine the active therapy surface
mode.
