Pressure area care for the bariatric patient will cause issues due to many factors, the
“SMART” system has been developed to address most of these.
On the principal that pressure cannot be totally removed, only “redistributed” the Smart
system achieves this by automatically profiling the sleep surface, and thus move the
pressure points.
Due to the unique ProAxis Plus dropping hinge there is no fixed point on the mattress
platform, this means that when the head section moves the thigh and foot sections move
also. Combining this movement with the proven capabilities of the Visco-Elastic mattress
gives the opportunity to offer a high degree of pressure area care even when the patient
has to be positioned more upright.
To operate the system it is necessary to set 4 parameters
1. Backrest start angle (0-45 degrees)
2. Backrest stop angle (15-60 degrees)
3. Number of steps between the two angles
4. Time between each step.
Simply follow the flow diagrams below to set the system, the whole process will only take a
few minutes. The angles chosen will depend on the amount of pressure redistribution
required and the particular conditions of the patient, however the greater the movement
the more effective the system will be..
Each patient is unique, therefore no “generic” programme
