Protekt Aire 9900 True Low Air Loss Alternating Pressure and Pulsation Mattress System

Call 866-218-0902 to speak with a mattress specialist.

The most versatile Protekt Aire system available — true low air loss, alternating pressure, and pulsation therapy combine in one software-driven system with a 1275 LPM blower, 1,000 lb weight capacity, and six adjustable pressure cycle settings for stage I through multiple stage IV pressure ulcer treatment.

The Protekt Aire 9900 by Proactive Medical is the flagship of the Protekt Aire range — a multi-mode therapy system built for patients at high risk of pressure injuries who need more than standard dual therapy can provide. Its advanced software-driven circuit board delivers multi-zone pressure therapy, continuous true low air loss, alternating pressure, and pulsation all in one integrated system.

The 1275 LPM blower delivers genuine true low air loss airflow — not a nominal airflow rating, but the volume needed to meaningfully maintain skin microclimate across the entire surface. The micro-controller monitors blower speed continuously, automatically adjusting pressure to maintain set levels as patient weight distribution shifts throughout the night.

Who Is This Mattress Best For?

• Patients at high risk for stage I through multiple stage IV pressure ulcers
• Bariatric patients — supports up to 1,000 lbs with widths available up to 60"
• Patients requiring three-mode therapy — true low air loss, alternating pressure, and pulsation
• Care settings where clinicians need precise cycle time customisation for individual patients
• Home care and clinical environments where the highest tier of Protekt Aire performance is needed

Key Features at a Glance

• True low air loss at 1275 LPM — laser holes in air bladders deliver continuous airflow to keep skin cool and dry
• Alternating pressure with six adjustable cycle times — 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 minutes
• Pulsation therapy mode for enhanced circulation support
• Multi-zone pressure therapy via software-driven circuit board
• Micro-controller continuously monitors blower speed to maintain set pressure levels
• Cell-on-cell design prevents bottoming out during power loss
• Automatic Fowler function increases middle bladder airflow by 20% when patient is upright
• Auto-firm mode for quick setup and safe patient transfers
• Optional air side bolsters to prevent roll-outs
• Audio/visual alarms for power loss and low pressure with lockout key to prevent accidental changes
• Supports up to 1,000 lbs — available in 36", 42", 48", 54", and 60" widths
• Fluid-resistant, antimicrobial, quilted nylon cover
• 18-month non-prorated warranty on pump, mattress, and cover

Why Choose the 9900?

The 9900 is the top of the Protekt Aire range for a reason. Where systems like the 5000DX and 6400 deliver strong dual therapy performance, the 9900 adds pulsation therapy, six cycle time options, micro-controller pressure monitoring, and an automatic Fowler function — features that matter for the most complex patients and the most demanding care environments.

The six adjustable cycle times are worth highlighting specifically. Most alternating pressure systems offer one or two preset cycle options. The 9900's six settings — from 5 to 30 minutes — give clinicians genuine precision in matching therapy intensity to the patient's condition and skin tolerance. A patient with fragile Stage IV tissue needs a different cycle approach than a high-risk patient in prevention mode, and the 9900 accommodates both without compromise.

The Automatic Fowler function also addresses a common gap in air mattress performance. When patients are in an upright or semi-reclined position, the weight distribution shifts dramatically — and most systems do not compensate, leading to uneven support and potential bottoming out in the seat area. The 9900 detects the upright position and automatically increases airflow in the middle bladders to maintain proper support, without any caregiver intervention.

For bariatric patients up to 1,000 lbs, the 9900 is available in widths from 36" to 60" — making it one of the most accommodating systems in the Protekt Aire range for larger patients.
