Information and Fire Prevention Guidance in relation to Dynamic Air Flow Pressure Relieving Mattresses in Community (G96)
Dynamic Air Flow Pressure Relieving Mattresses are provided to people who spend extended periods of time in bed or are bedbound due to illness and impaired mobility. This means that if a fire starts or smoke detection activates, the individual using the bed is unlikely to be able to respond/escape without assistance. When the mattresses are provided in a home setting, living alone or being alone in the property is therefore a risk factor for consideration.

The primary aims of this Protocol are to: 1) ensure patient safety, 2) reduce the risk of injury to staff, 3) increase equity in service access for patients, 4) facilitate clinician decision making, 5) facilitate communication between teams, 6) reduce the risk of claims of discrimination, and 7) reduce staff time lost through inappropriate referrals.
