Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03009796A1] The present invention teaches mechanisms and methods of adapting a low air loss inflatable mattress to be mounted within a conventional hospital bed frame, in such a manner so that the power/control module is both mounted in the cavity on the underside of the foot end modified baseboard of the bed, and readily accessible to a caregiver of the user of the bed as modified. The modification process involves substituting a foot end baseboard, to which the power / control module has been attached, for the foot end baseboard supplied with the bed, and bed frame, as manufactured. A variety of existing control modules and blower systems can be modified to operate in this manner.
