Active Air 5 Alternating Overlay — NDIS Pressure Care Mattress Australia

The Active Air 5 is an alternating pressure overlay from Aspire, Aidacare's equipment range. Rather than replacing the mattress, it lies on top and turns an ordinary bed into an active pressure care surface. It is rated for people at medium risk of pressure injury and suits home care, aged care and hospital settings alike. The surface is made up of 16 air cells, each 130 mm deep. Thirteen of them inflate and deflate in a 1 in 2 alternating cycle, shifting load from one part of the body to the next before pressure has a chance to build. The three cells under the head stay static, so the pillow area feels settled rather than restless. When alternation is not what the moment calls for, Intelligent Static Mode and Continuous Low Pressure (CLP) ease the surface into deeper immersion and comfort. The digital pump does the thinking for you. AutoDetect reads the user's weight and size and sets the pressure output automatically, so setup involves no guesswork. The LCD screen shows cycle time, operating mode and fault codes at a glance, and AutoLock secures the control panel 30 seconds after the last touch. The pump runs with little noise or vibration, and if the power fails, 24 hour Transport Mode holds air in the overlay so the user can stay safely on an inflated surface until power returns. The practical details are handled too. Welded seams and zip protection keep fluids and bacteria out of the system. The multi-stretch cover reduces shear against the skin, breathes with a high moisture vapour transfer rate, and machine washes at 95 degrees for proper sanitising. Even the power cord is retained within the overlay so it never becomes a trip hazard. Safe working load is 30 to 175 kg, and both pump and overlay carry a 2 year warranty.
