Quick Facts:
- Treats stages 1-4 Pressure Injuries
- Prevention of Pressure Injuries for high-risk patients
- Excessive skin moisture due to sweating, decreased mobility, inability or refusal to be repositioned could cause macerated skin
- Increased skin or body temperature due to infection, sepsis, or other conditions
- Comfort settings are based on the patient's desired comfort level and not by weight, these settings can be adjusted by facility staff.
- For best possible pressure management, maximize immersion and envelopment by initially setting the Comfort Level, located on the control panel, to the softest selection appropriate for the patient, in accordance with weight limits:
- For patients up to 120 lbs, begin with Level 1 "Max Immerse"
- For patients 120-400 lbs, begin with Level 2
- Adjust for user comfort as desired, using softer or firmer buttons
- For best possible pressure management, maximize immersion and envelopment by initially setting the Comfort Level, located on the control panel, to the softest selection appropriate for the patient, in accordance with weight limits:
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE
PressureGuard® Protocol®Moisture Control
Span-America’s PressureGuard® Protocol® provides caregivers an unmatched combination of microclimate management, pressure redistribution, ease of use and patient/caregiver safety.
Protocol’s proprietary air delivery cover design supplies a gentle flow of air directly to the underside of its highly vapor permeable coverlet, carrying away excess moisture vapor to help protect vulnerable skin. Thanks to its innovative design, the Protocol’s efficient control unit generates substantially less heat and noise than traditional high-output low air loss blowers while consuming less power.
Caregivers can select subtle alternating pressure or powered flotation treatment modes. Auto firm mode provides additional surface stability for ADLs, transfers, and feeding when desired, then automatically resumes the selected treatment mode after 20 minutes. Unlike typical roll-up surfaces, Protocol can maintain its inflation in a power outage or during transport. System includes mattress, control unit and machine washable coverlet.
