Description
Graham-Field Lumex Alternating Pressure Pad and Pump System – AQ1000 Standard / AQ2000 Deluxe
The Graham-Field Lumex alternating pressure pad and pump system is a bubble-style overlay that lies on top of a standard mattress and gently shifts pressure under the body. The pump inflates one set of air cells while the other set deflates, then swaps them on a 5 minute cycle, so no part of the skin carries the same load for long.
The 2.5″ pad is heavy-gauge medical-grade vinyl that is flame retardant and wipes clean, and it fits a standard 36″ hospital bed or homecare bed mattress. Choose the Standard system (AQ1000) with a fixed-pressure pump, or the Deluxe system (AQ2000) with a variable pressure dial.
It is a simple, low-cost way to add pressure relief to a bed you already have.
Why Choose an Alternating Pressure Pad?
Lying in one position for hours puts steady pressure on the hips, tailbone, shoulders and heels, the places where skin breaks down first. An alternating pressure pad keeps changing which cells carry the weight, so blood flow returns to each area every few minutes. It does not replace turning and good skin care, but it adds a constant layer of help between turns.
Standard (AQ1000) vs. Deluxe (AQ2000)
- Standard AQ1000: fixed-pressure pump. Simple to use: plug it in and switch it on.
- Deluxe AQ2000: variable pressure dial, so the firmness can be set to the user. Lighter users often want it softer, heavier users firmer. Replacement pads for the deluxe system (AQ2000-1) are sold separately, so the pump keeps working for years.
Who Is It For?
- People who spend long hours in bed at home or in a facility
- Users starting to show redness over the hips, tailbone or heels
- Patients recovering at home after a hospital stay
- Caregivers who want an affordable first step in pressure relief
Who May Need Something Else?
- Existing open wounds: a full low air loss or alternating mattress system is the better choice, such as the Lumex Select LS200 or the Protekt Aire 3000.
- More adjustment in an overlay: see the Protekt Aire 1500 Deluxe.
- Low air loss for moisture: the Protekt Aire 6000 adds low air loss.
Setting It Up
- Lay the pad on top of the mattress with the air tubes at the foot end.
- Tuck the end flaps under the mattress so the pad cannot slide.
- Hang the pump on the footboard using its built-in brackets.
- Connect the tubes and plug the 120V cord in.
- Switch on the lighted switch and let the pad fill before the user lies down.
Cover the pad with a single sheet, not thick layers, so the cells can do their work.
Pump Features
Both pumps have built-in brackets that hook over the footboard, an illuminated on/off switch and a 120V cord. The 5 minute cycle is quiet enough for a bedroom.
Alternating Pressure Pad and Pump System vs. a Foam Overlay
A foam overlay spreads weight but never moves. An alternating pressure pad and pump system actively shifts the load every few minutes, which is why it is often the next step when foam alone is not enough. For users with wounds, a full mattress replacement system goes further.
Common Problem → Lumex Pad Solution
Problem: a parent home from the hospital is in bed most of the day, and the caregiver sees redness over the tailbone that fades slowly after turning.
Solution: the Lumex pad on top of the existing mattress keeps shifting pressure between turns, and the caregiver keeps a turning schedule and checks the skin daily.
Tips for Better Results
- Keep only one smooth sheet between the user and the pad; extra pads and folded blankets block the cells.
- Keep up a turning schedule. The pad helps between turns, it does not replace them.
- Check heels and elbows daily; they need attention on any surface.
- On the deluxe pump, set the dial so the user does not sink through to the mattress below.
Care and Cleaning
Wipe the vinyl with a mild disinfectant and let it dry. Check the tubes for kinks every day and make sure the pump stays plugged in; if the power goes out, the pad will not alternate. Replace the pad if it develops a leak.
What’s Included
