Equipment
One system, in three widths.
We rent the Blue Chip Power-Pro Elite, an alternating-pressure air mattress replacement system with a digital pump. Carrying one system means every unit on your floor works the same way, and every technician we send knows it thoroughly.
- 1Air cells. 18 independent cells. Alternate cells deflate and refill on a timed cycle.
- 2Digital pump. Hangs on the footboard. Modes, comfort setting, and alarms.
- 3Air hose. The connector locks to keep the mattress inflated during transport.
- 4CPR release. One twist releases the air at once.

Setup and handoff
What happens at the bedside
The same six steps on every delivery. Step five is where our role ends and your nurse’s begins.
We check in
Badged, through your vendor sign-in, and straight to the floor that called.
We set it up
Mattress on your frame, pump on the footboard, hoses connected, power on. Full inflation takes up to 20 minutes.
We verify it
Inflation, modes, alarms, and the CPR release are confirmed before we hand it over.
We show your nurse
Controls, CPR release, alarms, and where the weight-setting guide is printed.
Your nurse sets therapy
Mode and comfort setting are chosen by nursing for the patient. We don’t make that call.
We take the old unit
Bagged in the room before it moves through a corridor, and recorded as collected.
