Proactive Protekt Aire 3600AB Low Air Loss Mattress System

The Protekt Aire 3600AB combines low air loss and alternating pressure in a mattress system with raised side air bolsters. Its Protekt Aire 3000 pump provides adjustable airflow, a preset 10-minute alternating cycle and a static mode. This configuration is designed for care settings where pressure redistribution, airflow and raised mattress edges are part of the support-surface plan.

Alternating pressure, low air loss and pump controls

The system alternates pressure on a preset 10-minute cycle and uses low air loss through 18 laser holes in the mattress cells. The airflow dial lets the caregiver adjust pressure and comfort settings for the patient. A visual low-pressure alarm indicates when airflow may be compromised, and static mode is available for transfers. Follow the owner's manual and the care team's procedures when choosing settings, responding to an alarm or preparing for a transfer.

Cell-on-cell support and raised air bolsters

The cell-on-cell design uses a one-way valve to retain air in the lower 4 inches of the cells if power is interrupted. This is a limited backup feature, not a substitute for following the manufacturer's instructions during a power failure. Raised side air bolsters run along the mattress perimeter and include a center cut-out for entry and exit. The bolsters are intended to help reduce accidental roll-outs and entrapment risk; they do not replace appropriate bed setup, supervision or an assessment of the patient's needs.

Cover, dimensions and capacity

The stretch-nylon top cover is fluid-resistant, antimicrobial/antibacterial and vapor-permeable. A pillow-top feature helps limit unnecessary head and neck movement during alternating mode. The manufacturer lists the standard mattress at 36 inches wide by 80 inches long, with an 84-inch length also available. Mattress height is 8 inches, rising to 11 inches at the perimeter with the bolsters. Maximum weight capacity is 350 lb.

Check the selected mattress length against the bed frame and the patient's needs before ordering. The listed weight capacity is a maximum, not a clinical recommendation or a measure of how well a particular support surface fits an individual.

Care and warranty

Proactive lists an 18-month non-prorated warranty. Confirm current coverage with the seller. Have a qualified clinician select the support surface and settings, and use the owner's manual for setup, cleaning, alarm response and compatibility with the bed frame and any separate rails. The Protekt Aire 3600AB is an FDA Class II medical device designed to aid individuals with mobility impairments.
