12 TERMS 1 HYSTERESIS -- Measurement of foam s ability to maintain original support characteristics after flexing. Normally, the firmness (IFD 2 ) is tested at 25% indentation, 65% indentation and again at 25% on the way up. Hysteresis is the percent of 25% IFD loss measure as a compression tester returns to the normal (25% IFD) position after measuring 65% compression. Lower hysteresis values, or less IFD loss are desirable. Current research indicates that hysteresis values may provide a good indication of overall flexible foam durability. Low hysteresis in conventional foam is equal to less IFD loss in durability and fatigue tests. 2 INDENTATION FORCE DEFLECTION (IFD) -- A measure of the load bearing capacity of flexible polyurethane foam. IFD is generally measured as the force (in pounds) required to compress a 50 square inch circular indentor foot into a four inch thick sample, typically 15 inches square or larger, to a stated percentage of the sample's initial height. Common IFD values are generated at 25 and 65 percent of initial height 3 GATCH [gach] - to adjust mechanisms on a bed to achieve angulation of the mattress, especially elevation of the knee area 4 15 minute test cycle pressure map readings are printed via an FSA mapping system when the patient initially positions themselves on the mattress. The FSA software continually pressure maps the patient over a 15 minute period. At the end of the 15 minute cycle a second pressure map reading is printed via the FSA mapping software. This 15 minute time period allows the patient to fully immerse into the product and also during the 15 minute cycle any patient movement can be noted.
