A foam mattress stays static when the request is a powered air surface. The Drive Med-Aire Assure Alternating Pressure Mattress is Drive 14530, five-inch air cells over a three-inch foam base, with a 10-minute alternating cycle and a static mode. It is not the live Med-Aire Plus 14029.
The Drive Med-Aire Assure Alternating Pressure Mattress is SKU 14530. Seventeen 5 inch cells sit on a 3 inch foam base so the surface still has foam if power drops. The compressor is 8 LPM with visual and audible low-pressure alarms. Pump-only 14530P, mattress-only 14530M, and cover 14530C are accessories, not this listing.
The control unit uses a 10 minute alternating cycle. Switch to static when the surface should stay still. Weight settings on the pump are for immersion. Follow the manual.
The 3 inch foam base is the power-outage layer. The live Med-Aire Plus 14029 uses cell-on-cell air, not this foam base. They are different systems.
Cells come out for service. Tubing uses EZ Lock / Quick Release. A CPR valve dumps air when you need the surface down quickly.
The cover is removable quilted nylon. Drive calls it fluid resistant, low shear, and vapor permeable. This page is the full 14530 system, not the cover-only SKU.
14530 is for someone who needs Drive's Assure analog AP and LAL replacement on a 36 by 80 deck, with a foam base, and who is not ordering the live Plus 14029 digital system.
Choose live Med-Aire Plus 14029 if the request is the 450 lb Plus system. Choose 14027 if the request is the analog 8 inch Med-Aire without this foam base.
14530 is Assure, 17 cells, foam base, analog pump, 1 year limited. Live Plus 14029 is cell-on-cell, digital pump, higher class. Live 14027 is the analog 8 inch Med-Aire without this 3 inch foam base. Do not order 14530 as a Plus duplicate.

No. Plus 14029 stays on its own URL. This page is Assure 14530 with a 3 inch foam base.
Yes. 14530 is the mattress system with the analog compressor. 14530P is pump only, sold separately by Drive.
The 3 inch foam base stays under the cells. That is the Assure outage layer. It is not Plus cell-on-cell.
