Abstract

The present invention relates to a pressure controller for controlling the pressure in an alternating pressure pad (1) of alternately inflatable cells (2, 3). The pressure controller comprises an air supply line (6, 7) to each set of cells (2, 3), a pump (4) arrangement to inflate each set of cells (2, 3) alternately via the air supply lines (6, 7) and a sensor (11). The sensor (11) is arranged under the pad (1) to reduce air flow to exhaust from each supply line (6, 7) during inflation of the corresponding sets of cells if the pad (1) is insufficiently inflated to support a patient thereon.
