Only a yr after launching what it known as the “international’s first sensible wheelchair cushion,” Florida-based mobility startup Kalogon is rolling out its new Air Control Device, which can permit wheelchair customers to control, regulate and care for the drive in their present air cushions.

Kalogon AMS is a continuation of our efforts towards making at ease seating extra available to all, whether or not or no longer you select a Kalogon (Orbiter) Good Cushion,” says co-founder and CEO Tim Balz.

The brand new AMS provides customers the similar stage of regulate with out the nerve-wracking and dear ordeal of shopping for and transferring to a brand new cushion. 

“Kalogon AMS is designed to scale back anxiousness round the use of standard air cushions,” says Balz. “Air cushions can lose drive because of leaks or adjustments in altitude whilst touring, and require the guide and inconsistent ‘two-finger check’ to mend. Kalogon AMS allows clinicians to set a number of clinician-recommended ranges and to care for the ones set pressures [on a client’s existing cushion] whilst adjusting to ambient prerequisites.” 

The AMS is appropriate with single-cell, high-profile cushions akin to ROHO or Superstar. MSRP is $350. There’s no Medicare code for the controller but, however Kalogon says that consumers have had good fortune acquiring insurance coverage compensation for his or her Orbiter cushion.
