Abstract:
A support evaluation device ( 10 ) comprising a series of pressure sensors in a stack ( 16 ), output means ( 34 a,  34 b,  34 c ) linked to the pressure sensors for indicating signals therefrom, and a power source, the series of pressure sensors including at least first and second pressure sensors within the stack ( 16 ), operational across respective first and second pressure bands, each pressure sensor including first and second electrical conductors ( 18, 20, 24, 28 ), and an insulator ( 22, 26, 30 ) separating the electrical conductors ( 18, 20, 24, 28 ), the pressure sensors being adapted to signal whether there is contact between their electrical conductors ( 18, 20, 24, 28 ), and the output means ( 34 a,  34 b,  34 c ) being adapted to provide at least one of an audio or visual output corresponding to signals from the pressure sensors, in use indicating the pressure band reached for a patient sat on the device ( 10 ), each pressure band corresponding to a predetermined cushion strength for prescribing a cushion to that patient.

Claim (Index 8):
A support evaluation device as claimed in any preceding claim, in which each insulator includes one or more apertures through which the electrical conductors can come into contact.
