Proactive Medical Protekt® Aire 6450 LAL/AP Mattress System with Power-Failure Safety Base

Proactive Medical Protekt® Aire 6450: Professional Dual-Therapy Pressure Redistribution System with Integrated Power-Failure Safety Base

In clinical environments and long-term care facilities, immobility places patients at extreme risk for developing Stage I-IV pressure ulcers (decubitus ulcers). Standard therapeutic air support surfaces present a major vulnerability: during facility power outages or system disconnections, the air cells deflate completely, causing the patient to "bottom out" against the hard bed frame and causing rapid tissue damage. The Proactive Medical Protekt® Aire 6450 directly resolves this critical safety hazard by engineering a 3-inch densified fiber support base beneath its 5-inch active air cells, ensuring continuous, life-saving structural support and safety even during total power failures.

Ideally suited for hospitals, nursing homes, and institutional home-care providers, this medical-grade system combines advanced low air loss (LAL) and alternating pressure (AP) therapies to maintain an optimal microclimate. The high-performance digital pump operates at an output rate of 8 liters per minute, allowing clinicians to customize therapeutic cycles between 10, 15, 20, and 25 minutes depending on patient needs. Designed to comply with Medicare HCPCS code E0277 standards, the Protekt® Aire 6450 supports up to 450 pounds, ensuring robust reliability and legal compliance across diverse patient populations.

Key Benefits:

• Dual-Therapy Clinical Efficacy: Integrates low air loss and alternating pressure technologies to continuously redistribute interface pressure and maintain dry, cool patient skin.
• Uncompromised Power-Failure Backup: Features a 3-inch densified fiber foundation that guarantees the patient is physically supported and protected from bottoming out if power is lost.
• Precise Digital Customization: Offers four selectable cycle intervals (10, 15, 20, or 25 minutes) and customized digital weight-setting options to match exact therapeutic prescriptions.
• Fowler Position Protection: Equipped with an automatic Seat-Inflate mode to increase air pressure in the pelvic region, protecting the sacrum when the head of the bed is elevated.
• Advanced Safety Monitoring: Incorporates a triple-alarm safety array (low pressure, power failure, and alternating system failure) with synchronous audible and visual alerts for constant caregiver peace of mind.
• Rapid Deflation CPR Valve: Features a high-accessibility emergency CPR pull-strap to instantly deflate the air bladders, facilitating immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedures.
