Caution
All pressure reduction products must be monitored to prevent 'bottoming out'. This occurs when the user's weight bears down so hard on the product material that it is flattened and the bony parts are pressed against the surface below the cushion or mattress. Where bottoming out occurs even with correct use (eg correct inflation levels), a different product may need to be considered.
Specific inflation levels are critical (see manufacturer's instructions).
Ensure that the item is not accidentally placed upside down or back to front.
Ensure the item is correctly inflated at all times.
Ensure the CPR release (an emergency release handle allowing rapid deflation of the mattress for coronary pulmonary resuscitation) is set correctly.


Additional Comment
. Ultra low pressure (30-50 mm Hg) covers 50% of the surface area when in operation.
. Designed for use in long term care settings either at home or in hospital.
