ALTERNATING PRESSURE MATTRESS REPAIR

Recently we received a call from a customer that had her alternating pressure mattress for 8 years. During the night her alternating pressure mattress "sank" in the center causing her to sink into a hole. Lucky she owned the PM8080 mattress, the system with a cell in cell design that has an emergency static cell that remains inflated at all times. The cell in cell is designed to offer a 3 " layer of protection and is used during power failures or leaks.  It prevents the patient from making contact with the medical bed frame.

www.alternatingpressuremattress.com

The customer assumed her mattress was too old and in her words on its way "out" She called and wanted a new mattress. Before offering her a new mattress I asked a few simple questions.

#1 Is you CPR valves closed? The CPR is a plug at the head of the mattress that is designed to let air out of the mattress in the event the patient needs CPR. Past experience has taught me that sometimes a caretake changes the sheets and pulls on the tags releasing air from the bed by accident. You can make sure the plugs are back in place and "problem solved" Back to new!

In this situation the patients CPR tags we closed and I moved on to the next question.

#2 Have you checked the connectors on the cell? What is that she asked?? There are plastic tubes that come out of the air hoses in your mattress. These plastic tubes are connected to the actual cell of the mattress. If a mattress leaks air or if an area develops a depression or hole, it can be a leak in the cell. The good news is all of our cells can be replaced!!. The customer looked and identified the problem. The cells plastic tube had become separated from the cell. This did not allow enough air pressure to build up in the system causing her to bottom out. Even better news the customer can replace just the cell without having to buy a new mattress system. This little "trick" just saved my customer $1400.00


I have attached a picture of here cell to show what it looks like.

#3 If the cells are intact do not worry you do not need to replace your mattress system yet! The solution can be as simple as replacing the air pump. We sell a combination of replacement pumps for alternating pressure mattresses. If you can not identify your pump please feel free to call our 

24 hour online support. 1-877-733-9207 

These are a few suggestions that may help to save money and prevent you from having to replace your alternating pressure mattress system.

The Stages of a Bed Sore

  BED SORE STAGES DEFINED 

Pressure can be reduced through the use of the recommended alternating pressure mattress systems. These specific models are approved by medicare under code E0277. The following alternating pressure mattresses are designed to heal stages 1-4 bed sores and pressure ulcers. 

The PM8080 Hospital Alternating Pressure mattress system 

8000 Group II Series Alternating Pressure Low air Loss Mattress 

True Low Air loss Medical Mattress System 

  Stage I: An observable, pressure-related alteration of intact skin, whose indicators as compared to an adjacent or opposite area on the body may include changes in one or more of the following parameters:

• Skin temperature (warmth or coolness);
  
• Tissue consistency (firm or boggy);
  
• Sensation (pain, itching); and/or
  • A defined area of persistent redness in lightly pigmented skin, whereas
    in darker skin tones, the ulcer may appear with persistent red, blue, or purple hues.
    Stage I pressure ulcers may be difficult to identify because they are not readily visible and they present with greater variability. Advanced technology (not commonly available in nursing homes) has shown that a Stage I pressure ulcer may have minimal to substantial tissue damage in layers beneath the skin’s surface, even when there is no visible surface penetration. The Stage I indicators identified below will generally persist or be evident after the pressure on the area has been removed for 30 to 45 minutes.
    
  
  
  
  
   
  0. Stage II: Partial-thickness skin loss involving epidermis, dermis, or both.
     The ulcer is superficial and presents as an abrasion, blister, or shallow crater.
     Stage III: Full-thickness skin loss involving damage to, or necrosis of, subcutaneous tissue that may extend down to, but not through, underlying fascia. The ulcer presents clinically as a deep crater, with or without undermining of adjacent tissue.
     Stage IV: Full-thickness skin loss with extensive destruction, tissue necrosis, or damage to muscle, bone, or supporting structures (e.g., tendon, joint capsule). Undermining and sinus tracts may also be associated with Stage IV pressure ulcers. 
     
     
     
     
      STAGE 1
     By the definition in Tag F314 - regardless of color, temperature, consistency, or sensation - the skin of a Stage I pressure ulcer is intact. If the skin is dark purple or very deep in color but intact, it may be a deep tissue injury or DTI. DTI is not a simple Stage I, it could indicate that the damage is deeper, including subcutaneous tissue, muscle, bone, joint capsule or other supporting structures. Unlike a Stage I (that is caught in a timely fashion), a DTI may not resolve or improve with prevention measures like offloading. Confusion also lies in the classification of Stage II (partial-thickness) and Stage III or IV (full-thickness) pressure ulcers. To clear things up, use the following assessment criteria.
     Stage II (Partial-Thickness) Pressure Ulcers:
     

     • Cannot have, or ever have had, slough or eschar (necrotic tissue)
       
     • Heal by regeneration of the dermis and epidermis
       
     • Heal without granulation tissue
       
     • Have a “flat” edge
       
     • Have no undermining or tunneling
       
     • Heal without scarring
       If the injury goes through the epidermis and into, but not through, the dermis, it is a Stage II (partial-thickness) wound. If there is any necrotic tissue in the wound, it cannot be a Stage II ulcer. Also, the wound edge in a Stage II pressure ulcer will be at the same height as the intact skin. As long as all wound healing factors have been addressed, these ulcers often heal quickly. Each hair follicle acts as a “wound edge.” The epithelial cells lining the follicle migrate, allowing tissue to regenerate, and spread out from each hair follicle.
       Stage III or Stage IV (Full-Thickness) Pressure Ulcers:
       
       • May have slough or eschar (necrotic tissue)
         
       • Heal by filling in with granulation tissue, followed
         by epithelialization and contraction
         
       • Will not have regeneration of dermis and epidermis
         
       • Have a “healing ridge” at the edge
         
       • May have undermining or tunneling
         
       • Heal with scar formation
         A Stage III or Stage IV pressure ulcer goes through the epidermis and the dermis. The dermis itself never regenerates. The void or “dead space” must fill with new granulation tissue (beefy, red, bumpy tissue) whose blood supply comes from
         a process called angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels). Full-thickness wounds only heal from the edges inward; this is why they take longer to heal. The granulation tissue needs to reach skin surface before epithelialization
         and contraction or resurfacing can occur.

Bariatric Alternating Pressure mattress

This article will cover bariatric alternating pressure mattresses. The bariatric alternating mattress was designed for larger patients that needed the extra weight capacity or width to the mattress for transfer purposes.

Recently we have seen many of the bariatric alternating mattresses used to replace a full or queen size mattress so the patient does not need to modify their existing bed. There is no longer a need to transfer from your queen size mattress to a standard alternating pressure mattress. patients can now purchase these larger full and queen sizes for use with their existing box springs.

NEO ALTERNATING PRESSURE MATTRESS QUEEN SIZE

Options include 10 zone comfort control, Adjustable cycle times, stage 4 bed sore therapy.  With a weight capacity of 1000 lbs this hospital mattress system can easily support 2 people.
