• Review of medical beds and active therapy within facility • Identification of product issues or misuse

Foam and Bed Frame Assessment Services – are your mattresses and bed frames in good condition?
The Arjo Assessment Service offer a range of equipment assessments designed to give healthcare providers detailed, evidence based information of the quality of care delivered and identifying gaps in equipment provision and product issues.
The Foam Mattress and Bed Frame Assessments provide detailed information of the status of all foam mattress replacements and bed frames within the audited areas. All of this is given in a comprehensive evidence based written report.
All foam mattresses (including those in store rooms/ bathrooms) will be assessed and where able will be checked with the following criteria:
• External examination of cover
Customer testimonial
“We have been receiving specialist visits from Arjo for just over 12 months. Monitoring the use of specialist beds and mattresses has been something that we have struggled to manage effectively in recent years and if it were not for the 4-monthly visits undertaken by Arjo we would still be struggling. Not only do these visits audit current equipment and practises, they provide on-the-spot solutions, compliance reports to myself and have provided the basis of some recent training delivered by an Arjo representative to our senior staff. “Throughout this period, the support we receive from Arjo has been beneficial and contributes to underpinning reasons for future working with Arjo as a supplier.”
