1.5 Intended use

This pressure redistribution mattress is intended to be used in con-
junction with an appropriately sized bed frame, as part of an overall
pressure ulcer prevention program of care.
This product has been designed to deliver effective pressure reduction
to users, when the product is in normal use which is defined by Inva-
care ® Ltd as when the support surface is covered with a cotton, cotton
combination or linen bed sheet, and any one of these would be the
only item deployed between the support surface and the user.

1.6 Product Description

The Invacare ® Basic mattress offers exceptional pressure reducing
qualities, specific to the individual's needs. By promoting even weight
distribution, it reduces tissue pressure at potentially vulnerable areas.
The choice of either a soft multi stretch white Polyester/Viscose cover
with an optional Platilon liner, or a water-resistant cover provides a
vapour-permeable, multi stretch surface, to promote patient comfort
and to maximize the effectiveness of the foam core.

1.7 Service Life

We estimate a life expectancy of five years for these products, provided
they are used in strict accordance with the intended use as set out in
this document and all maintenance and service requirements are met.
The estimated life expectancy can be exceeded if the product is care-
fully used and properly maintained, and provided technical and scientific
advances do not result in technical limitations. The life expectancy can
also be considerably reduced by extreme or incorrect usage.
The fact that we estimate a life expectancy for these products does not
constitute an additional warranty.
