Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Given that there has been no change in the reported protocol for positioning patients, the root cause appears to be patient profile and length of case, which is in the 8 to 12-hour range.Tempur pads can assist with pressure distribution but will not eliminate the risk entirely.
