3 + The ATM - Airpod Air Transfer Mattress is one of the safest and most efficient patient lateral transfer and repositioning device in the world, with an in-built adaptive and self-regulating technology that comprises of an array of multitudinal air collection, distribution and expulsion chambers, known as PODS, arranged in a precise geometric distribution pattern, that allows for a safe, secure and efficient transfer of a patient on a cushion of air.

The PUSH + PULL Forces involved in the Transfer of a Patient are substantially reduced to approximately 10% of the Patient's Total Weight.

4 It is one of the safest and most efficient Transfer and Repositioning Devices in the world. There is very little manual handling involved With the use of the ATM - Airpod, the Lateral Transfer Weight of a Patient is approximately 10% of the Patient's Total Actual Weight. The PUSH + PULL Forces involved in the Transfer of a Patient are substantially reduced to approximately 10% of the Patient's Total Weight. The Only 100% HF Welded Air Lateral Transfer and Repositioning Device in the World HF (High Frequency) Welding is the process by which Electromagnetic Energy (EE) is used to permanently bond thermoplastic materials together. This is different from other processes as the desired result is a hermetic cohesive bond between the polymers. Hermetic = so tightly or perfectly fitting as to exclude the passage of air.

5 How does it work? The ATM - Airpod is a Air Lateral Transfer and Repositioning Device that works in similar fashion to a Hovercraft. Air is blown into the mattress by the means of an external air supply device called the Air Blower The force of the expulsion of the Air through the perforations located in the base of the Mattress, lifts and raises the mattress off the bed ever so slightly. What is the ATM Airpod? The effect of the Air Mattress being raised up, allows for reducing the contact between the Air Mattress and the bed and thereby reducing the friction between the two surfaces. The ATM - Airpod is a Nursing Aid in the form of a Air Mattress, that is used for Transferring and Repositioning Patients. It is one of the safest and most efficient Transfer and Repositioning Devices in the world. There is very little manual handling involved

8 IN THE UK NHS (National Health Service) staff who injure their backs in the course of their work cost taxpayers over GBP 400m a year according to a new publication by the national charity BackCare. This huge sum is made up of staff sickness, absences, and wasted training of those forced to leave their jobs as a result. GBP 400m is enough to employ 16,000 nurses for a year. 10% Each year, over 80,000 nurses injure their backs at work and 3,600 healthcare workers are forced to retire early. Across the care sector handling injuries account for over a quarter of all reported injuries to employees. IN THE USA The annual cost of the problem is estimated at USD $26 Billion. According to OSHA - Occupational Safety & Health Administration (United States Department of Labour) - one major source of injury to healthcare workers is musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). These injuries are due in large part to overexertion related to repeated manual patient handling activities, often involving heavy manual lifting associated with transferring, and repositioning patients and working in extremely awkward postures. With the use of the ATM - Airpod, the Lateral Transfer Weight of a Patient is approximately 10% of the Patient's Total Actual Weight. The PUSH + PULL Forces involved in the Transfer of a Patient are substantially reduced to approximately 10% of the Patient's Total Weight. This reduction in weight as a result of the use of the ATM - Airpod is what we term as the Lateral Transfer Weight

Other factors related to limited mobility can make the skin vulnerable to damage and contribute to the development of pressure sores. Three primary contributing factors are Sustained Pressure, Friction and Sheer.

Use of a conforming support surface to distribute the body weight over a large area low-tech devices 2. Use of an alternating support surface where inflatable cells alternately inflate and deflate high-tech devices. The term Surface Neutral refers to the degree of hindrance and/or interference to the therapeutic benefits of the pressure-relieving devices. Neutral in this instance suggests that there is very little hindrance and/or interference. However please note: any item or article that is placed under the patient will hinder/interfere - to various degrees and level - with the therapeutic benefit of the devices and the ATM-Airpod Air Mattress is no different. It is up to the Care Providers (and in line with Institutional Guidelines) to ascertain and determine (for example by conducting a thorough risk assessment) whether the degree of hindrance/interference is acceptable against the benefits of leaving the ATM-Airpod behind and under the patient.
