Question
What type of foam? I was looking for something with the Talalay or Dunlop process. Tell me something about this foam. Would it work for a hospital bed?

Answer

 Dear Marilyn:

Unfortunately, we do not have information about the manufacturing process or the specs on the foam itself.  This mattress is designed for heavy individuals and as a result this foam is much denser than the foam used for a standard hospital mattress. However, this mattress is too large for a standard hospital bed.  A standard hospital bed mattress measures 80x36 in.  This one is 80x60in.  What is the size of the bed in question?

Question
Hello,I was wondering if Novasource Renal has fiber in it? It states it is useless for low residue diets. My dialysis patient is on it and has chronic diarrhea. Would a formula such as Nepro (has fiber) be better suited for him?

Answer

Dear Rebecca:

You are correct, NovaSource Renal does not have fiber.  Nepro HomemadeVanilla formula does have 15.6 grams of fiber per 1000ml.  However, for a best dietary option for your patient, we recommend consulting with a nutritionist.

Answer

Dr. Siegal,

These units are approximately 2lbs each and are manufactured in Germany.  The anodizing process is a specialized process used for some aluminum products.  Delivery on these units is approximately 15 business days from the time of order placement as these are special ordered items.

Question
I was wondering to what the outputs of these pulse oximeters are plugged? Do they only require a power source? Or do they require a specific piece of hardware to drive them? Thanks,Niall

Answer
Most table top/ stationary pulse oximeters that we offer are manufactured for the North American market and require 120V to power them.  Many of these units, however, may have an alternate power switch built into them and will accept 220V with the proper plug converter.  Hand held units are battery powered.
