Description

The Drive Medical Med-Aire 8" Alternating Pressure and Low Air Loss Mattress System is a highly advanced and effective solution for the prevention, treatment, and management of pressure ulcers. This mattress replacement system combines alternating pressure with low air loss technology to ensure optimal patient comfort and support.

Featuring 20 air bladders, including nine with laser holes for low air loss functionality, this mattress actively maintains a cool and dry environment, promoting faster healing and reducing discomfort. The 8" high Aire cells are constructed with a durable blend of 40% nylon and 60% PVC, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.

The mattress cover is designed with patient comfort and safety in mind. It is constructed with a quilted, urethane-coated nylon fabric that is water-resistant, vapor-permeable, and low sheer. This not only protects the patient's skin but also allows for easy cleaning, as the cover is machine washable.

One of the standout features of this mattress system is its "Whisper Quiet" pump. The pump delivers a consistent airflow while operating silently, ensuring a peaceful and restful environment for the patient. Additionally, the pump is equipped with special vibration isolating features, further enhancing patient comfort during use.

To provide critical information and ensure patient safety, the system includes LED and audible alarms. These alarms alert caregivers when the pressure falls below 10mmHG, guaranteeing that the patient remains comfortable and minimizing the risk of complications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
This mattress will stay inflated up to 24 hours in the instance of a power outage.
The input rating is: AC 120V 60Hz; 12W, 1A.
The audible/visible alarm turns on when the pressure is low. To mute the audible alarm, press the reset button. The visible alarm indicator will flash. Re-press the reset button to reactivate the alarm.
The alternating pressure feature of the mattress system consists of multiple air cells that inflate and deflate in a cyclic pattern. This cyclic movement helps to redistribute pressure by periodically shifting the weight-bearing areas of the body, reducing the risk of pressure ulcers.
The low air loss feature refers to the constant flow of air through the mattress surface. This airflow helps to maintain a dry and comfortable environment by wicking away moisture and regulating the temperature of the skin. It can prevent excessive sweating and the buildup of heat, which can contribute to skin breakdown.
The weight capacity is 350 lbs
