Removable module EPSUS mattress
DEVICE INTENDED USE
This high resilience foam static mattress is intended to be used in combination with a medical bed for specific pressure ulcer prevention purposes due to
a loss of autonomy and/or deterioration of health resulting in reduced mobility and the risk of pressure ulcers.
INDICATIONS
For bedridden patients with reduced mobility and "Medium to High" risk of pressure ulcers (according to the Braden scale or any other validated scale
and on medical advice). Assists in the treatment of stage 1to 2 pressure sores according to EPUAP, up to stage 4 outside the support area.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Patient weight level below or above the limits defined in the technical data table. For use on medical imaging table.
ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS
Not documented.
Any serious incident occurring in connection with the device must be notified to the manufacturer and the competent authority of
the Member State in which the user and/or patient is established. Inform the competent authority if you consider or have reason to
believe that the device poses a serious risk or has been tampered with.

composed of studs ("alveolar" type) or inserts must be positioned in contact with the patient's body. The protection must be dry.
Preventive maintenance: Carry out a regular visual inspection of the foam condition: visible sagging of material and a non-consistent and very slow return
of the foam shape are ageing criteria that compromise the properties of the support. Annual inspection of the condition of the cover (surface aspect and
zippers) by exposing the inner surface to a light source: no holes and/or tears. Replace the cover if its surface appearance changes.

A bedsore is a lesion of varying depth in the skin, associated with excessive and prolonged compression of tissue between the body and a support
surface. This excessive pressure can prevent blood circulation and lead to pressure ulcers, a dangerous lesion because it develops from the inside of the
body to the outside, and is therefore initially invisible. A pressure sore can have several forms: a simple persistent rash for more than a day, hardening of
the skin, a wound of varying depth that can in severe cases affect muscles or underlying bone.
