The Invacare® microAIR® MA80 mattress model is a true low air loss mattress that helps manage skin moisture to avoid maceration and maintain a dryer environment for pressure ulcer healing in the treatment of Stage I to Stage IV pressure ulcers. The mattress and blower system automatically maintains five different pressure zones for softer head and heel sections and firmer torso pressure interfaces. Pulse settings are available on the MA80 unit.

Features:

• High Risk to Stage IV (Prevention and Ulcer Treatment): Ideal for High Risk Ulcer Prevention and for treatment of patients who already have Stage IV skin breakdown.
• Pulse Therapy: Reduces interface pressure to aid in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.
• True Low Air Loss: Air is sent through the bladders to keep the mattress environment cool and assist with moisture management and maintain a dryer environment. True Low Air Loss pushes air up through the bladders.
• Pulse Therapy Time Cycles: Cycles are 1, 3, 5 or 10 Minutes. The Pulse Times indicate the time between each low pulse. For example, if 5 minutes is selected, all the air cushions in the mattress will inflate for 5 minutes (the selected time) to the selected comfort setting and then drop 20% pressure for 20 seconds.
• 20 Air Cells: Made from 70 Denier urethane coated nylon. Easy connect and disconnect with quick connect elbows.
• Safety Foam Mat: Added safety feature to prevent patient from bottoming out.
• Side Bolster Option: Optional Side bolsters protect the patient during use.
• Constant Pressure Monitoring: Sensor techonology constantly adjusts the pressure to regulate the air inside the mattress and maintain the pressure at or below 32mm/Hg to avoid capillary occlusion.
• Manual and Wireless Fowler: 25% more air is added into the mattress, preventing the patient from bottoming out.
  • Wireless Fowler:

• • • New wireless fowler technology, real time pressure monitoring and energy conserving power units combine to make microAIR surfaces the most efficient dynamic support surfaces in the market. Within the power units is a pressure transducer that maintains surface pressure not to exceed 32mm/Hg.  The solenoid valve within the compressor opens and closes the air valve automatically to maintain the pressure relief range prescribed.  The compressor turns off to save energy when the patient is in the range.
    • Wireless Fowler Technology is an innovation exclusive that assures patient comfort. From time to time patients need to sit up in bed, which creates the problem of additional pressure in the coccyx area and possible disruption of treatment.
    • Working in sync with the power unit, the transmitter installed in the head section of the mattress signals the power unit when the head portion begins to raise. The power unit immediately begins adding 25% more air to the mattress to prevent patient contact with a hard surface.

• Audio and Visual Alarms: Warns patient and caregiver of low pressure and power outage.
• System Lock Out Button: Prevents tampering or accidental adjustments
• Breathable Mattress Cover: Anti-microbial, fluid-proof, vapor permeable, guards against friction and shear. 70 Denier quilted nylon with 1000 denier nylon bottom.
• Blower: 1275 LPM Blower provides greater output, quick set up and more effecient therapy cycles.
