HOVERMATT® USER MANUAL (200G/400G Air Supply) Intended Use and Precautions

• Indications: Patients unable to assist in their own lateral transfer or turning. Patients whose weight or girth poses a potential health risk for the caregivers responsible for repositioning or laterally transferring said patients. • Contraindications: Patients who are experiencing thoracic, cervical or lumbar fractures that are deemed unstable, unless using in conjunction with a spinal board on top of the HoverMatt mattress. • Intended Care Settings: Hospitals, long term or extended care facilities • Precautions: Caregivers must verify that all caster brakes have been engaged prior to transfer. Additional caregivers are recommended when moving a patient over 750 lbs / 340kg. Never attempt to move a patient on an uninflated HoverMatt mattress. Route the power cord in a manner to ensure freedom from hazard. Avoid blocking the air intakes of the Air Supply. Never leave patient unattended on an inflated device. Use this product only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Only use attachments and / or accessories that are authorized by HoverTech International. When transferring to a low air loss bed, set the bed mattress air flow to the highest level for a firm transfer surface. When using the HoverMatt in the MRI environment, a 25 ft. specialty MRI hose is required (available for purchase). WARNING: For safety, always use two people during patient transfer. CAUTION: Avoid electric shock. Do not open Air Supply. WARNING: Reference product specific user manuals for additional operating instructions.

HOVERMATT® USER MANUAL (200G/400G Air Supply) Introduction Using the HoverMatt® Air Transfer System The HoverMatt air transfer system is used to assist with lateral transfers and repositioning anywhere in the hospital. It is radiolucent and artifact free, so patients may remain on the HoverMatt transfer mattress for all ancillary procedures, including Diagnostic Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, MRI, or Radiation Therapy. The patient weight limit for the HoverMatt air transfer system is 1,200lbs / 544kg. The reusable HoverMatt is available in four different widths to accommodate the body mass of the patient, and the Single-Patient Use HoverMatt is available in 3 widths.

The Principle of the HoverMatt® Technology After the patient is placed on the HoverMatt transfer mattress, low pressure air from the Air Supply will inflate the mattress. At the same time the air is supporting the patient, the air is escaping from the perforations in the underside of the HoverMatt transfer mattress. The escaping air acts as a lubricant to reduce friction, which facilitates effortless transfers. With less force needed to transfer a patient, there is less physical effort and strain expended by caregivers, which results in a reduction of workers’ compensation injuries. The HoverMatt air patient transfer system requires the caregiver to exert a force of approximately 15% of the patient’s body weight for the transfer.

The Purpose of HoverMatt® Technology Consistent utilization of the HoverMatt air transfer system dramatically reduces back injuries to staff that are caused by lateral transfers and repositioning. In addition, fewer staff members are required to perform these tasks and a more comfortable transfer is provided for the patient.

HOVERMATT® USER MANUAL (200G/400G Air Supply) Instructions for Use 1.

Patient should be in a horizontal position for transfer/repositioning on the appropriate width mattress. [28”w (71 cm), 34”w (86 cm), 39”w (99 cm), or 50”w (127 cm)]

Regardless of ease of patient movement, for safety, always use a minimum of two caregivers for the transfer. 2. Place the HoverMatt transfer mattress underneath patient using a log-rolling technique and attach patient safety straps. Whatever the patient is lying on to keep the bed mattress clean can be placed on top of the HoverMatt transfer mattress to help keep it clean. 3. Plug the Air Supply power cord into an electrical outlet. 4. Insert the Air Supply hose nozzle into the mattress in one of the two entries located parallel to the foot end, and snap in place. 5. Be sure transfer surfaces are as close as possible and brake the wheels. 6. If possible, transfer from a higher surface to a lower surface. 7. Turn on Air Supply. 8. Grasp transfer handles and pull patient on an angle, either head first or feet first, until patient is in desired position. 9. Ensure that the patient is centered on the receiving equipment prior to deflation, especially if the width of the equipment receiving the patient is less than the width of the transfer mattress. 10. Turn off Air Supply to deflate mattress and employ the bed/stretcher rails.

NEVER LEAVE PATIENT UNATTENDED ON AN INFLATED HOVERMATT AIR TRANSFER SYSTEM.

HOVERMATT® USER MANUAL (200G/400G Air Supply) Cleaning Reusable HoverMatt® Transfer Mattress

The reusable HoverMatt transfer mattresses are constructed of nylon twill. In between patients, the HoverMatt should be wiped down with a 100:1 bleach solution (100 parts water: one part bleach) or cleaning solutions your hospital uses for medical equipment disinfections. If the HoverMatt becomes badly soiled, it can be laundered in a washing machine with a 160° degrees Fahrenheit (65° C) maximum water temperature. A 100:1 bleach solution may be used (100 parts water: one part bleach) during the wash cycle. The mattress should be air dried if possible. Air drying can be expedited by using the Air Supply unit to circulate air through the inside of the mattress. If using a dryer, the temperature setting should be set on the coolest setting. Drying temperature should never exceed 115° degrees Fahrenheit (46° C). The backing of the nylon is polyurethane, and will begin to deteriorate after repeated high temperature drying. The Double-Coated HoverMatt transfer mattress should not be put in the dryer. To help keep the HoverMatt transfer mattress clean, HoverTech International recommends the use of our Disposable or reusable Protector Sheets. A bed sheet or chux may also be used.

Single-Patient Use HoverMatt® Transfer Mattress

The Single-Patient Use HoverMatt transfer mattress is not intended to be reprocessed. If the Single-Patient Use HoverMatt transfer mattress is laundered, the perimeter seam thread will dissolve.

Air Supply Cleaning and Maintenance

In between patient uses, the Air Supply can be cleaned by wiping down using a damp cloth with soap and water or mild neutral detergent. Dry using a clean, dry cloth or disposable paper towel. *Do not spray cleaners or liquids directly on the Air Supply. NOTE: CHECK YOUR LOCAL/STATE/FEDERAL/INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES BEFORE DISPOSAL. 9

HOVERMATT® USER MANUAL (200G/400G Air Supply) Preventive Maintenance

Prior to use, a visual inspection should be performed on the HoverMatt air transfer system to ensure the Air Supply power cord is not frayed or nicked, and that there is no visual damage that would render the Air Supply unusable. The HoverMatt transfer mattress should have all of its safety straps and handles (reference Page 5 of the manual for all appropriate parts). There should be no tears or holes that would prevent the HoverMatt transfer mattress from inflating. If any damage is found that would cause the system not to function as intended, the HoverMatt air transfer system should be removed from use and returned to HoverTech International for repair (see Page 19 Returns & Repairs). The Air Supply (model #’s AIR200G and AIR400G) has a 2 micron filter over the motor. This filter can be accessed by removing the three small screws holding the canister to the motor. If desired, this filter may be soaked with any germicidal solution.

Infection Control HoverTech International offers superior infection control with our heat-sealed reusable HoverMatt transfer mattress. This unique construction eliminates the needle holes of a sewn mattress that can be potential bacterial entry ways. Additionally, the heat-sealed, double-coated HoverMatt transfer mattress offers a stain and fluid proof surface for easy cleaning. A Single-Patient Use HoverMatt transfer mattress is also available. Whatever the patient is lying on to keep the hospital bed clean may be placed on top of the HoverMatt transfer mattress to help keep it clean. If desired, a reusable protector sheet or disposable sheet may be used to cover the transfer mattress (available for separate purchase). This sheet may also be placed under the transfer mattress, when log rolling the patient, to prevent the bottom of the transfer mattress from coming in contact with the hospital bed sheets. If the HoverMatt transfer mattress is used on an isolation patient, the hospital should employ the same protocols/procedures it utilizes for the bed mattress and/or for the linen in that patient room.
