The recommended pressure levels may not be the optimum for all situations but should be used in conjunction with
clinical judgment based on the individual patient; e.g. weight, weight distribution, position and comfort needs.
Do not reduce pressure level setting by more than 1 step for the patient’s comfort.
Regardless of the pressure level, make sure the patient is not lying directly on the bed frame.
