GENERAL INFORMATION

Harvest 1 is our simplest pump providing controlled compressed air to a pressure care
mattress or active seat cushion suitable for patient weights of 25 stone or less. The inflated
cells within the supplied product provide an alternating pressure surface designed to reduce
surface pressure on the skin and therefore reduce risk of the development of pressure ulcers
in susceptable patients.
Harvest 1 is ideal for use in community and care home settings as it has a simple interface
with a dial. The pump is easy to connect and disconnect and is lightweight for ease of use for
the carer. Both visual and audible alarms come as standard for safety, and a static mode is
found on some previous models.
The Harvest 1 has a medium flow rate and fits with our Kensington overlay, Sandringham
replacement, Hampton replacement and the Prime Comfort Active mattresses. Active seat
cushions are also available for these systyems. Harvest Healthcare supply a pump and
mattress but it is the user's responsibility to ensure each system meets the guidelines set out
in the pump and mattress guide (shown below). Failure to do this could put the end service
user at risk. This could prolong the recovery process or increase the risk of further tissue
damage.
For information on our mattress range please refer to the mattress user manuals available on
our website www.harvesthealthcare.co.uk.
