Description
The Invacare microAIR MA800 is a true low air loss mattress system that combines 3-in-1 alternating pressure, pulsation and high-volume airflow in one surface. It is the step-up microAIR model for patients whose skin risk is driven by moisture as much as pressure.
- True low air loss therapy at 1275 LPM airflow
- 3-in-1 alternating pressure combined with 60 second pulsation
- Ten adjustable comfort settings
- Auto Firm mode for quick maximum inflation
- 600 lb capacity on the 36 in system
Some patients break down because moisture softens skin until ordinary pressure becomes injurious. The MA800 attacks that pathway with true low air loss, moving 1275 liters of air per minute through the surface to carry heat and moisture away. Alternating pressure and a 60 second pulsation mode share the load management, so no single point stays loaded. Ten comfort settings give clinicians finer control than the MA600 offers, and Auto Firm prepares the surface for transfers and care. This listing is the complete 36 in system with its blower unit, rated to 600 lb.

Why Choose the Invacare microAIR MA800?
Standard alternating systems move pressure but move very little air. When moisture is the driver of skin breakdown, this model's true low air loss is the feature that decides outcomes.
- Moisture-first design – 1275 LPM of true low air loss is roughly a hundred times the airflow of standard systems, so maceration risk falls, which is the deciding factor for many stage III and IV cases
- Three therapies, one surface – alternating pressure, pulsation and low air loss run together, so the care plan does not trade one risk for another, which simplifies complex cases
- Bariatric headroom – the 600 lb rating on the 36 in model covers patients standard systems turn away, so one model serves a wider census, which helps home and facility buyers
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the MA800 for?
It is designed for patients at medium to high risk of pressure injuries, stages I to IV, and its true low air loss suits patients where maceration and moisture are the main concern.
What size and capacity is this model?
This listing is the 36 in wide MA800 system, rated for patients up to 600 lb. The MA800 line also includes wider bariatric sizes that are not part of this model.
What does pulsation do?
The 60 second pulsation feature gently varies surface pressure to help improve capillary blood flow at the skin.
Does the system include the power unit?
Yes. This is the complete system, mattress and blower unit. The MA800P is the pump-only replacement model and MA800M4284 is a mattress-only model in a wider size.
What warranty applies?
The limited warranty covers the cover and mattress for 1 year and the power unit for 1 year.
