Review of the facility policy titled Pressure Injury Prevention and Management revised 08/22/22 included the facility was committed to the prevention of avoidable pressure injuries, unless clinically unavoidable, and to provide treatment and services to heal pressure ulcer, injury, prevent infection and the development of additional pressure ulcers, injuries. Evidence-based interventions for prevention would be implemented for all residents who were at risk or who had a pressure injury present. Basic or routine care interventions could include, but were not limited to redistribute pressure, provide appropriate, pressure-redistributing support surfaces. Review of Owners Manual for PressureGuard APM2 and PressureGuard APM2 Safety Supreme air therapy support surface undated, included the PressureGuard APM2 models were powered, flotation therapy mattresses providing a pressure management surface for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers. The inflation system consists of four urethane air cylinders in standard models that run head to foot underneath the body and the foam topper. These cylinders perform the alternating pressure therapy and the lateral rotation therapy. Cylinders inflate and deflate in a fixed ten minute cycle. The cycles and inflation levels were designed to provide and maintain low interface pressures throughout the mattress, and to redistribute peak interface pressure points during the alternating cycle. Comfort level selection allowed selection of air cylinder firmness within a relatively small range. Press softer or firmer button to achieve desired setting. Begin in the softest setting, then adjust for comfort as desired. This is an incidental deficiency discovered during the course of this complaint investigation.
