Novacare alternating pressure systems

APM 440 XC

The APM 440 XC alternating pressure system is ideally suited for the prevention and treatment of patients with pressure ulcers up to stage IV according to the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP).

Its control unit monitors the internal pressure of the mattress with digital sensors and flexibly adjusts the support pressure. The use of two compressors ensures continuing safety in the event of failure of one of the compressors. Settings are made using an intuitive touch pad interface.

Strong advantages:

  • Bi-elastic, breathable PU cover
  • Non-bending connecting tubes
  • Connection valves with transportation safety lock
  • External CPR valve
  • Sensor-controlled pressure management, switch-off between cycles
  • Automatic key lock
  • Alternating pressure mode, static mode and care mode
  • Choice of 3 time cycles (5/10/15 min.)
  • For patients weighing up to 230 kg

ASX Digital 5 Inch

The ASX Digital 5 inch alternating pressure system was developed for pressure ulcer patients up to stage III according to EPUAP. This system features nylon-PU cells.

The bi-elastic cover is breathable, PU-coated and has an all-round zip. The overlay has a double base layer that allows an optional 2 cm, 3.5 cm or 5 cm thick foam base mattress to be inserted in it. This also protects the underlying mattress from becoming soiled. The base mattress can be purchased additionally as an accessory.

Strong advantages:

  • Touch pad panel with automatic key lock
  • Care function
  • Low noise level
  • Long service intervals

ASX Digital 6 Inch

The ASX Digital 6 inch alternating pressure system is suitable for the prevention and treatment of patients with pressure ulcers up to stage IV according to EPUAP. This system has 18 nylon-PU cells, including three head-cells that are static.

The bi-elastic cover is breathable, PU-coated and has an all-round zip. The overlay features a double base layer that allows a 2 cm, 3.5 cm or 5 cm thick foam mattress base to be inserted in it and which protects the base mattress from becoming soiled. The base mattress can be purchased separately.

The system is suitable for patients from 40 kg up to 200 kg.

Strong advantages:

  • Touch pad panel with automatic key lock
  • Care function
  • 5 heel cells with quick-release connectors and self-closing valves
  • Low noise level
  • Long service intervals

Smartline Hybrid

Smartline Hybrid is a dynamic mattress replacement system for patients at high risk of developing pressure ulcers. It is ideal both as a high-quality static mattress as well as a modern alternating pressure system with a sensor-controlled control device.

There are 14 dynamic polyurethane air cells embedded in the “U”-shaped foam base frame. The head and foot segments are made of high-quality cold foam with a density of 70, to distribute local pressures more evenly and prevent pressure ulcers from developing. There is a quilted layer between the cover and the cells to increase the lying comfort even further. The mattress underside is equipped with carrying handles and evacuation straps.

Strong advantages:

  • Especially designed for patients with a high risk of pressure ulcers
  • Sensor-controlled digital control device
  • Foam system can be converted to a dynamic alternating pressure system if clinically required
  • Supports patient weight of up to 200 kg
