General Details

Factors to Consider

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.

Options

Side bolster top cover for additional lateral support.

Extra product information

STRUCTURE:
Features 18 individually replaceable air cells. The mattress is divided into three separate zones (head, trunk and foot) allowing adjustment of alternating or static pressure in selected areas.

COVER:
The quilted, multi-layered, nylon fabric designed to reduce shear and friction. It is waterproof and vapour permeable (breathable) to reduce moisture and heat build-up. The cover has bacteriostatic properties to prevent contamination and is machine washable. The cover is removable via a zipper.

ATTACHMENT:
Secures to bed frame using five attachment straps.

MODES:
Alternating air pressure: provides pressure relief by inflating and deflating every other air cell at a timed interval. The deflated air cells provide pressure relief whist the inflated cells support the user's weight. The Millennium 3 features a 1:2 cell cycle and an adjustable cycle time of 8 to 18 minutes.

Controlled low air loss: provides an optimum temperature environment to facilitate wound healing and comfort. A constant flow of air is delivered to the user's skin through thousands of microscopic vents in the mattress cover.

Flexible air flotation: enables the user to be immersed into a static surface with a pressure interface as low as 10mmHg if alternating air pressure is contra-indicated.

Static mode: the air pressure can be set at a continuous level of pressure up to 60mmHg to facilitate transfers.

Fowler boost: automatically adjusts pressure in the sacral area for when user is inclined or seated upright on the mattress.

PUMP / CONTROLS:
Seperate pump unit with colour coded, quick release press on hose attachments. The pump is compressor driven for reduced noise output.

The electronic controller features easy touch pad operation and a lockout feature to secure the panel from setting changes. The air pressure can be automatically set based on user height and weight or manually set for customised configurations. Internal sensors detect and adjust to user movement. It also features a help screen to provide assistance with set up or operational functions.

SAFETY FEATURES:
Quick release CPR lever on the side of the mattress deflation in 8 seconds to enable resuscitation procedures to be performed.
CPR lever on the side of the mattress for rapid deflation.
Audible and visual low pressure alarm.
Optional power down alarm.
Retains air in event of power loss to prevent deflation.
Memory function enables the mattress to return to previous setting if the power supply is interrupted.

CUSTOMISED FEATURES
Mattress width can be customised on request.
