The ForeSite® Intelligent Surface System (ForeSite IS) is a continuous skin monitoring mattress system for
clinicians that improves patient safety and reduces staff workload. It’s powered by XSENSOR’s Intelligent
Dynamic Sensing platform, which enables precise measurements and features highly detailed visualizations
and smart data with AI-powered analysis — resulting in optimized performance, comfort, and safety.
ForeSite IShelps clinicians:
Increase patient safety by validating that repositioning regimes have effectively redistributed pressures,
thereby reducing the risk of injury.
Improve staff workload by identifying highest-risk patients and body regions using detailed image
visualizations.
Individualize patient care with AI/ML to inform advanced prevention strategies to maintain healthy skin
for at-risk patients.
Real-time, easy-to-understand pressure images generated by the ForeSite IS System identify areas that are
experiencing elevated pressures, giving clinicians the information they need to make body position
adjustments before pressure injuries occur.
The sensor array for the ForeSite ISSystemcomes in two form factors:
The ForeSite Intelligent Mattress, a fully integrated mattress solution; and
The ForeSite Intelligent Overlay, a fitted mattress cover overlay designed to fit over existing hospital
mattresses.
Both options are embedded with a high resolution array of over 1,500 flexible sensor cells.
The sensor surfaces connect to a touch-screen Display Terminal running the ForeSite Viewersoftware
application.
The ForeSite Viewercontinuouslymonitors the patient's body surface pressuresand displays real-time
pressure images of elevated pressures, providing actionable insights. Software features include:
Visual display markers that clearly identify areas of the body that have been under sustained pressure;
A patient turn clock that tracks the time since the last reposition, visually notifying the clinician that it is
time to adjust the patient's body position; and
A history of recent turns, including pressure exposure data, that allows caregivers to see at a glance the
turn history of the patient and if their turn strategy needs to be modified.
Additional key features include:
A centralized dashboard, which provides real-time, detailed injury risk and turn history for all monitored
patients; and
The cloud database, which provides access to individual and multi-patient history reports for
compliance review and development of best practice.
ForeSite Reports
ForeSite Reports is an optional reporting application that integrates directly into ForeSite Viewer.

Intended Use
The ForeSite Intelligent Surface System is specifically intended to assist with the turn management and
repositioning of patients susceptible to pressure injuries in medical, nursing and long term-care facilities. The
ForeSite IS system provides continuous monitoring features that help clinical staff more effectively execute the
pressure relief and patient turning schedules that are commonly included in a medical institution’s clinical
pathway.
The device only measures pressure at the support surface. The device is not intended to measure:
quantitatively a physiological or anatomical parameter
a quantity or a measurable characteristic of energy or substances delivered to or removed from the
human body
There are no known contraindicationsto its use. For any questions or concerns in regards to the safety of this
product, do not hesitate to contact XSENSOR.

Essential Performance
There is no essential performance. The ForeSite IS system is not intended to replace current best practices for
the prevention of pressure injuries. It is intended to provide additional monitoring and data collection while
standard monitoring techniques and turn schedules are maintained.
