FAQs

SAFESiT® FAQs

At ABeWER, we recognize that selecting the appropriate seating support surface is critical for effective pressure injury / ulcer prevention and patient comfort. Below are answers to frequently asked questions about SAFESiT®.

SAFESiT® is a multicycle automated alternating pressure air cushion designed to reduce prolonged pressure exposure in seated patients and support pressure injury / ulcer prevention strategies.

The system uses alternating air cell inflation and deflation multi-cycles to periodically redistribute pressure, reducing continuous loading on specific anatomical areas such as the sacrum and ischial tuberosities.

SAFESiT® is suitable for:

  • Patients at risk of pressure injuries
  • Wheelchair users with limited mobility
  • Long-term seated patients in home or clinical care
  • Patients requiring pressure redistribution support

Yes. SAFESiT® may be used as part of a comprehensive pressure injury / ulcer management plan, depending on clinical assessment and staging. It is important to follow professional medical guidance.

Unlike static cushions, SAFESiT® provides active, automated pressure redistribution, reducing the need for constant manual repositioning and supporting more consistent offloading.

SAFESiT® goes beyond conventional alternating pressure cushions by integrating multiple clinically relevant pressure management strategies into a single system. Key differentiators include:

  • Multicycle Alternating Pressure Technology — unlike standard systems that use simple alternating patterns, SAFESiT® utilizes multicycle modes, allowing more gradual and varied pressure redistribution. This supports improved tissue tolerance during prolonged sitting.
  • Continuous Low Pressure (CLP) Support — in addition to dynamic alternation, SAFESiT® maintains a baseline level of continuous pressure redistribution, helping reduce peak pressure even during non-alternating phases.
  • Enhanced Microclimate Support — through breathable materials and dynamic air movement, the system helps reduce heat and moisture accumulation at the skin interface.
  • Highly Adjustable Patient Interface — pressure levels and therapy modes can be adjusted to align with individual patient needs, supporting personalized care based on risk level, body profile, and tolerance.

Yes. SAFESiT® is designed to support microclimate management at the skin interface, helping reduce heat and moisture accumulation, both key factors associated with skin breakdown and pressure injury / ulcer development.

The system contributes to this through:

  • Breathable material construction
  • Dynamic air movement within the cushion system
  • Continuous pressure redistribution, which reduces localized heat buildup

By improving the microenvironment between the skin and the support surface, SAFESiT® helps maintain skin integrity during prolonged sitting.

Yes. SAFESiT® is designed for use across clinical care environments, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and long-term care settings. It supports patients who require prolonged seated positioning, particularly those at risk of developing pressure injuries or requiring ongoing pressure management.

SAFESiT® is suitable for these environments due to:

  • Clinically aligned pressure redistribution — combines dynamic alternating pressure with continuous low pressure support, contributing to effective offloading during seated care.
  • Adaptability to different patient profiles — adjustable pressure settings and therapy modes allow clinicians to tailor support based on individual risk level, mobility, and tolerance.
  • Support for rehabilitation workflows — enables pressure management during wheelchair use, therapy sessions, and mobility training, where maintaining tissue protection remains essential.
  • Microclimate management support — helps reduce heat and moisture accumulation, supporting skin integrity during extended sitting periods.

Yes. SAFESiT® is designed for both clinical and home care environments, with a user-friendly interface and quiet operation.

The ABeWER SAFESiT® complies with Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on Medical Devices. This stringent regulation ensures medical devices’ safety, quality, and performance in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and home care environments.

The ABeWER SAFESiT® is certified with:

  • CE (Conformité Européenne)
  • MDR Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745

Yes. Nurses and caregivers can adjust pressure levels and therapy modes to match the patient’s needs, ensuring appropriate support and comfort.

SAFESiT® is designed to operate across both fixed and mobile care environments, offering flexible power options depending on the use case.

Yes. SAFESiT® can be plugged into standard power outlets, and a UK plug adapter is available if needed.

Power Supply (Plug-in Use)

SAFESiT® can be connected to a standard electrical power supply, making it suitable for continuous use in:

  • Hospitals
  • Rehabilitation centers
  • Home care settings

This ensures stable and uninterrupted operation during routine clinical care.

Battery Operation (Mobile Use)

SAFESiT® also includes an integrated rechargeable lithium battery, providing up to 10 hours of operation without external power. This enables:

  • Uninterrupted pressure redistribution during patient transport
  • Use in wheelchairs outside clinical environments
  • Greater flexibility during daily mobility and rehabilitation activities

Yes. SAFESiT® includes an internal rechargeable battery, enabling up to 10 hours of operation without external power and supporting uninterrupted therapy during mobility or transport.

Yes. The system is designed to maintain active pressure redistribution during seated transport, making it suitable for use in vehicles when appropriate safety measures are followed.

The ABeWER SAFESiT® is ideal for bedridden patients at risk of developing pressure injuries / ulcers due to immobility. It is suitable for use in hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and at home.

Pressure injuries, also known as pressure ulcers, decubitus ulcers, or bedsores, develop when prolonged pressure on the skin restricts blood flow to underlying tissues, leading to tissue damage. Without treatment, these injuries can lead to serious complications, including infections and delayed recovery, even death.

The ABeWER SAFESiT® multicycle cushion is designed to prevent and treat pressure injuries / ulcers, promoting healing by reducing constant pressure on affected areas. It is intended to cover all cases, even very high-risk patients or ulcers in stage 4. A wound specialist is necessary to supervise the treatment.

Primarily, SAFESiT® is a medical device for individuals at risk of pressure injuries / ulcers. However, it may also be beneficial for people exposed to prolonged sitting, such as professional drivers, as part of a preventive strategy.

SAFESiT® comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty on the pump and 1 year on the cushion, ensuring reliability and long-term support.

SAFESiT® is powered by an integrated lithium battery that enables up to 10 hours of autonomous operation without connection to a power source. This maintains active pressure redistribution even during transport, supporting continuity of care beyond static environments and reducing therapy interruption, a known risk factor in pressure injury / ulcer development when pressure redistribution is not maintained. The system is designed for seamless use in:

  • Wheelchair mobility (indoor and outdoor)
  • Patient transportation (car, ambulance)
  • Transitions between care settings

Yes. While SAFESiT® is designed as a medical device for patients at risk of pressure injuries, its technology also supports prolonged seated populations exposed to sustained pressure loading. Typical occupational use cases include:

  • Long-distance drivers (for example, truck drivers)
  • Taxi and ride-service drivers
  • Professionals with prolonged seated work patterns

Prolonged sitting without pressure redistribution can lead to localized tissue ischemia, heat and moisture accumulation, and an increased risk of early-stage pressure damage. SAFESiT® provides dynamic offloading, supporting tissue perfusion even in non-clinical environments.
