I would ask for the literature on the
mattresses and see what the company states that they are, “pressure reducing,”
“pressure relieving,” or none of these.

Subject: Air beds
We have put new pressure relieving mattresses on all
of our beds recently ( accumax matresses). My administrater feels this
qualifies all MDSs to include M5b. What do you all think? I feel it
is a little bit of a stretch?
Thanks in advance,
Monica
