2. Clinical Applications
Indications The Nimbus 3 and Nimbus 3 Professional systems are
indicated for patients weighing up to 250 kg (39 stones)
and are suitable for the prevention and management of
all grades of pressure ulcers.
Contra-Indications The
Nimbus 3 and Nimbus 3 Professional systems, both
in alternating and static modes, should not be used for
patients with unstable spinal fractures.
In the case of patients with other unstable fractures,
where a moving surface can be harmful, advice should
be obtained from the appropriate physician before using
the
Nimbus 3 or Nimbus 3 Professional systems in both
alternating and static modes.
Patient In Chair If the patient will be sitting in a chair for any period of
time, it is strongly recommended that a pressure
reducing or relieving seat cushion is used.
The Nimbus 3 and Nimbus 3 Professional systems are an aid to the
prevention and management of pressure ulcers. If there is no improvement in
the patient's condition, clinical advice should be sought.
The above are guidelines only and should not replace clinical judgement or
experience.
