The HydroAire AFT bed by Aurora MFG is a cutting-edge sleep system that combines advanced technology with user-friendly features. At its core, the bed utilizes a tub filled with glass ceramic microspheres, which rest atop a diffuser board. The bed's innovative design incorporates state-of-the-art blowers within its pedestals, forcing air across the board to create a fluidized surface.
One of the standout features of the HydroAire AFT bed is its superior blower technology. The electrically efficient blowers operate at noise levels below 50 dBA, comparable to a window air conditioning unit. This ensures a quiet and peaceful environment. The system's energy efficiency is notable and it generates minimal heat, raising the ambient temperature by only 7-9 degrees.
The bed offers precise control through a remote control pendant, allowing users to manage temperature and fluidization levels. The temperature can be adjusted from 80 to 95, catering to individual comfort preferences. A lock-out feature prevents accidental changes to the settings.
For enhanced comfort and functionality, the HydroAire AFT bed features GoreTex sheets as a cover, promoting airflow and reducing friction. The bed also comes with slant wedge pillows that can provide angles of 10, 15, 25, or 35, offering versatility in positioning.
Mobility and safety are key considerations in the bed's design. It includes eight heavy-duty casters for easy movement, side rails for added security, and compatibility with trapeze bars and patient lifters. The bed is also service-friendly, with easy access to all electrical components, including the AC box, blowers, and heater box.
