Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
No, most HoverTech transfer mattresses (such as the HoverMatt Single-Patient Use and HoverCover) are not intended to be laundered. They should be wiped down with hospital-approved disinfectant or discarded if soiled, depending on the specific model.
Many HoverTech transfer mattresses are considered 'MR Conditional' or 'MR Safe' by rationale as they are made of non-ferrous materials. However, the air supply units and standard power cords are typically MR Unsafe and must be kept outside the MRI environment, often requiring a specialty MRI hose.
Weight limits vary by product. For example, the HoverMatt T-Burg has a limit of 400 lbs (182 kg), while the PROS Sling and Slide Sheet models often have limits up to 550 lbs (250 kg) or 1000 lbs (454 kg) depending on the configuration. Always check the specific user manual for your device.
Serial numbers and lot numbers are typically located on the product label attached to the device or the air supply unit.
