Introduction
This document addresses Assistive Products for Tissue Integrity (APTI). As some devices can be used/
reused in more than one application environment, different requirements and test methods can apply
to the same APTI, depending on the application environment.
APTI play a very important role in the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries. Another important
role in the prevention and treatment of pressure injury is the clinical practice and the clinical evaluation.
[24]
Guidance can be found in the NPUAP/EPUAP/PPPIA Guidelines .
Surfaces applied on operating theatre tables can also impact in the process of patient management
and might need to be taken into consideration. It should be recognized however, patient stability and
specialist equipment used during an operation often create conflicting priorities to those of an APTI.
Using this document, clinicians and manufacturers should consider the impact of other items (including
additional APTI) used in conjunction with an APTI on tissue integrity and safety.
This document only covers general requirements to ensure safety of users.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Introduction
This document addresses Assistive Products for Tissue Integrity (APTI). As some devices can be used/
reused in more than one application environment, different requirements and test methods can apply
to the same APTI, depending on the application environment.
APTI play a very important role in the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries. Another important
role in the prevention and treatment of pressure injury is the clinical practice and the clinical evaluation.
[25]
Guidance can be found in the NPUAP/EPUAP/PPPIA Guidelines .
Surfaces applied on operating theatre tables can also impact in the process of patient management
and might need to be taken into consideration. It should be recognized however, patient stability and
specialist equipment used during an operation often create conflicting priorities to those of an APTI.
Using this document, clinicians and manufacturers should consider the impact of other items (including
additional APTI) used in conjunction with an APTI on tissue integrity and safety.
This document only covers general requirements to ensure safety of users.

Assistive products for tissue integrity when lying down —
Part 1:
General requirements
1 Scope
This document specifies general requirements and related test methods that are relevant to assistive
products for tissue integrity (APTI) in the lying position in different application environments such as
hospitals, home care and institutions. This document applies to the safety of APTI that are intended to
remain in situ during periods of lying, and to prevent and/or treat pressure injuries.
This document covers a range of different lying support surfaces intended to be used in combination
with the appropriate support platform (adjustable included) or as a whole integrated system.
This document does not apply to medical beds.
This document also covers assistive products primarily intended for tissue integrity for changing a
lying position and assistive products for maintaining a lying position.
This document does not apply to lying support surfaces used in combination with incubators or
operating/surgical tables.
It also covers safety and performance test methods to ensure protection against injuries to the user.
This document addresses the combination of a full body support surface and an adjustable mattress
support platform. It also covers safety and performance test methods to ensure protection against
injuries to the user.
This document specifies requirements and test methods for APTI within the following classifications of
ISO 9999:—:
04 33 06 Assistive products for tissue integrity when lying down such as but not limited to
— mattresses and mattress overlays for pressure injury prevention, and
— mattress coverings for pressure injury prevention mattresses.
12 31 03 Assistive products for sliding and turning such as but not limited to the following:
Devices for changing position or direction of a person using sliding or turning techniques. The only
products included are those intended to be used in a lying position and remain in situ as part of the
lying support surface. They are the following:
— sliding products that glide one way and lock the other way;
— sheets and underlays in flexible materials with low friction;
— fabric sold by the metre, cut as required for repositioning use;
— powered turning product;
This excludes sliding boards unless the product is intended to be left in situ.
09 07 06 Positioning pillows, positioning cushions and positioning systems such as but not limited to
— leg positioners,
