The LifeChek TD-100 Anti Decubitus Air Mattress is a medical-grade alternating pressure mattress designed to prevent and manage pressure ulcers (bedsores) in patients who are bedridden or have limited mobility. By continuously alternating the inflation and deflation of individual air cells on a 6-minute cycle, the mattress systematically redistributes pressure across the body — preventing any single area of skin from sustaining prolonged compression, which is the primary cause of pressure ulcer formation.
Constructed from durable 0.3mm PVC, the mattress accommodates patients weighing up to 135 kg. Pressure is fully adjustable between 70 and 130 mmHg, allowing care providers to set the inflation level appropriate for the patient’s weight and clinical condition. Air output of 6–7 L/min ensures consistent and reliable pressurisation throughout each cycle. The pump features Class II electric shock protection for patient safety in home and clinical environments.
The TD-100 system supports dual voltage (110–140V and 220–440V) for flexible use across different power supply standards.
Why Choose LifeChek Air Mattress
- Alternating Pressure System: Systematically inflates and deflates individual air cells on a 6-minute cycle, redistributing body weight and relieving sustained pressure on vulnerable skin areas.

Usage Instructions
- Place the anti-decubitus mattress on top of a standard bed mattress or hospital bed frame.
- Connect the air hose from the mattress to the pump unit.
- Plug the pump into the appropriate power supply (110–140V or 220–440V).
- Power on the pump and adjust the pressure setting to the appropriate level for the patient’s weight and clinical condition — consult a healthcare professional for guidance on optimal settings.
- The pump will automatically alternate pressure between cells on the 6-minute cycle.
- Inspect the mattress and tubing regularly for any signs of damage or air leaks.
- Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines for cleaning and care.
Warnings and Precautions
- This mattress is a pressure management device — it is not a substitute for repositioning, wound care, or other clinical interventions recommended by a healthcare professional.
- Do not exceed the maximum patient weight capacity of 135 kg.
- Do not use sharp objects near the mattress — punctures will prevent proper inflation and compromise effectiveness.
- Inspect regularly for air leaks, damaged cells, or connector issues. Remove from service if damaged.
- Pressure settings should be confirmed with a trained healthcare professional for each patient.
- Keep the pump clear of obstructions — do not cover the pump unit or block its vents during operation.
- Not suitable for use as a sole sleeping mattress without an underlying support mattress.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a decubitus ulcer and how does an alternating pressure mattress help?
A decubitus ulcer (also known as a bedsore or pressure ulcer) is a localised injury to the skin and underlying tissue caused by prolonged pressure on a single area — typically in patients who cannot reposition themselves. An alternating pressure mattress continuously shifts the points of pressure contact across the body by cycling inflation and deflation of individual cells, ensuring no single area remains compressed for the full cycle period — significantly reducing ulcer risk.
How do I set the correct pressure for the patient?
The TD-100 pressure is adjustable from 70 to 130 mmHg. The optimal setting depends on the patient’s body weight, skin condition, and clinical status. Always consult a qualified nurse, physiotherapist, or healthcare professional for guidance on appropriate pressure settings for individual patients.
Does this mattress replace the bed mattress?
No. The anti-decubitus air mattress is placed on top of a standard mattress or hospital bed — it is an overlay system. It requires the support of an underlying firm mattress and should not be used as a standalone sleeping surface.
What happens if a cell develops a puncture?
If a cell is punctured, it will not inflate properly during its cycle, reducing the effectiveness of pressure redistribution. Inspect the mattress regularly for air leaks or deflated cells and contact the supplier for repair or replacement if damage is found.
Is this mattress suitable for home use?
Yes. The TD-100 is designed for both home care and clinical settings. The dual voltage compatibility (110–140V and 220–440V) and Class II electric protection make it safe and practical for home environments.
