The ForeSite SS System: Overview
Thank you for purchasing the ForeSite SS Pressure Imaging System!
The ForeSite SS sensor is embedded with thousands of sensor cells that
connuously measure the level of pressure between two solid objects.
For clinical purposes, this may be the level of pressure between a
wheelchair and a client’s body surface. The sensor connects to a touch
screen tablet that displays live pressure informaon and stascs on
a colour-coded scale. The resulng pressure images may be rotated,
captured as snapshots, recorded as a series of frames, and even
displayed in 3D.
ForeSite SS is designed to be intuive and user-friendly in an eort
to help wheelchair seang professionals make more informed clinical
decisions
Wheelchair users are at an increased risk of developing pressure ulcers
which can form when muscles and so ssue press against surfaces
such as a chair or a bed. As such, preventave measures must be taken
in order to reduce these risks. ForeSite SS provides clinicians with
the tools they need to help their clients reduce the risk of developing
pressure ulcers. By ulizing ForeSite SS, clinicians are able to create an
image of the relave pressure distribuon over a surface. The dynamic
pressure images then allow them to evaluate the pressure distribuon,
and, if necessary, take appropriate measures to enhance the pressure
distribuon for that parcular surface.
ForeSite SS is calibrated at the factory to improve the overall accuracy
of the pressure distribuon images. However, the system is not
intended to replace current best pracces for prevenon of pressure
ulcers. It is intended to provide addional monitoring and data
collecon while standard monitoring techniques and turn schedules are
maintained.
