Anti-decubitus pneumatic mattress REHA FUND BF4000, 17 compartments, CPR safety valve

Reha Fund BF4000 is an anti-decubitus pneumatic mattress engineered to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers through alternating pressure redistribution across 17 independent air compartments. The mattress is intended for use by bed-bound patients who require support to relieve sustained pressure points. An integrated CPR safety valve allows rapid deflation when immediate manual access is necessary. The construction and operating principle make the BF4000 suitable for both home care and clinical environments where preventive or therapeutic pressure management is needed.

Advantages

The mattress provides alternating pressure cycles across 17 separate cells to distribute load and reduce localized tissue compression. Its pneumatic design enables adjustable firmness to accommodate different patient weights and clinical needs. The integrated CPR safety valve permits quick deflation to facilitate emergency procedures or patient handling. The materials and cell layout support easy cleaning and routine maintenance in caregiving settings.

Suitable for

• Patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers or with existing decubitus wounds
• Long-term immobile or bed-bound patients in home care
• Postoperative patients requiring pressure redistribution
• Healthcare facilities and nursing homes managing chronic mobility impairment

Key specifications

• Design: alternating-pressure pneumatic mattress with 17 independent air compartments
• Functionality: pressure redistribution through alternating inflation/deflation cycles
• Emergency feature: integrated CPR safety valve for rapid deflation
• Application areas: prevention and management of pressure ulcers, support for immobile patients
• Suitable settings: home care, clinical wards, nursing homes

How to use

Place the mattress on a compatible bed frame and connect it to the appropriate air pump or control unit designed for alternating-pressure systems. Adjust the inflation level according to patient weight and comfort, following clinical guidance or manufacturer pump settings. Ensure the CPR safety valve is accessible and staff are familiar with its operation so the mattress can be rapidly deflated if emergency access to the patient is required. Regularly inspect the compartments for leaks and verify the cycling function to maintain therapeutic effectiveness.

Recommendations

Use the BF4000 in combination with a suitable alternating-pressure pump and follow clinical protocols for patient repositioning and skin inspection. Clean the mattress surface per care guidance and check inflation levels daily. In an emergency, open the CPR safety valve to achieve rapid deflation before performing urgent interventions.
