22、ISO 2015 All rights reserved PD ISO/TS 16840-12:2015 ISO/TS 16840-12:2015(E) Introduction This part of ISO 16840 provides details of test equipment and a method for the measurement of “performance” of a wheelchair cushion intended to use immersion and envelopment to reduce local areas of pressure (b

23、y effectively supporting more tissue). The primary elements that represent the basic cushioning effect of a cushion are immersion and envelopment. Immersion into the cushion (the depth that a body penetrates into the surface) and the envelopment of the body (the intimacy of the cushion to the body)

24、combine to define the potential cushioning performance of the cushion. In this test, the distribution of forces across the surface of the indenter is evaluated with multiple indenter sizes and masses. The accommodation of the cushion to the changes in indenter size and mass are representative of the

25、 changes in size and mass of the occupant that can occur in the life of a wheelchair user or between different users. Issues related to the use of devices that measure the forces between the body and a support surface (i.e. pressure mapping systems) have led to the use of an instrumented indenter, w

26、hich has fewer sensors, but sensors which are high quality and exhibit repeatability, accuracy, and thus reliability. ISO 2015 All rights reserved v PD ISO/TS 16840-12:2015 Wheelchair seating Part 12: Apparatus and method for cushion envelopment testing 1 Scope This part of ISO 16840 specifies appar

27、atus, test methods, and disclosure requirements for characterization of wheelchair seat cushion immersion and envelopment properties using instrumented indenters to characterize the interface pressure of each indenter and the test cushion by measuring the cushioning effects of immersion and envelopm

28、ent. This part of ISO 16840 can be considered to expand the characterization of products intended to manage tissue integrity (ISO 16840-2) and provide a standardized indenter for other wheelchair seating tests. It does not provide information specific to cushion performance for a particular individu

29、al user. This part of ISO 16840 includes a method that is specific to 220 mm and 255 mm indenters. Dimensions and loads are provided for the 380 mm indenter to allow for extension of the methods for bariatric applications. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are norm
