I N D I C AT I O N S
· Patients unable to assist in their own vertical lift, such as after a fall. · Patients whose weight or girth poses a potential health risk for the
caregivers responsible for lifting or moving said patients. · CPR compatible when fully inflated.

· Patients who are experiencing thoracic, cervical or lumbar fractures that are deemed unstable should not use the HoverJack unless a clinical decision has been made by your facility.
INTENDED CARE SETTINGS
· Hospitals, long term or extended care facilities.
PRECAUTIONS
· Do not secure patient safety straps until HoverJack is completely inflated to desired height.
· Make sure patient safety straps are secured before moving. · Never use patient safety straps to pull the HoverJack, as they may tear. · Move the HoverJack using the transport handles located along the top
perimeter. · When moving a patient on the inflated HoverJack, use caution and
move slowly.

· Additional caregivers are recommended when moving a patient over 350 lbs/158.757 kg.
· Never attempt to move a patient on an un-inflated HoverJack. · Never leave a patient unattended on an inflated HoverJack. · Use this product only for its intended purpose as described in
this manual. · Only use attachments and/or accessories that are authorized by
HoverTech.
WARNINGS/CAUTION
· Always use a minimum of two caregivers while using the HoverJack. · One caregiver should remain on the side of the patient during

Instructions for Use - HoverJack® Air Patient Lift [Manufactured before 6/2023]

1. Place the HoverJack on the floor next to the patient, making sure the chamber with valve #4 is on the top and the chamber with valve #1 is against the floor.
2. Make certain that all four red-capped deflation valves are capped tightly.
3. Log roll patient onto the deflated HoverJack, and position patient with feet at the valve end where indicated. Alternatively, the patient can be placed on top of the HoverJack using the HoverMatt® Air Transfer System (see HoverMatt manual for instructions). If the HoverMatt is used, make certain that the HoverMatt and patient are properly centered on the HoverJack. Always deflate the HoverMatt prior to inflating the HoverJack.
4. Always use a minimum of two caregivers while using the HoverJack.
5. One caregiver should remain on the side of the patient during inflation with the second caregiver managing inflation. If available, a third caregiver should attend to the other side of the patient.
6. Plug HoverTech Air Supply power cord into an electrical outlet.
7. Caregiver at foot end turns on HoverTech Air Supply to initiate air flow.
8. To begin inflation, hold hose against inlet valve #1 of HoverJack. (valve closest to the floor)
9. When fully inflated, remove hose. Valve will automatically close, keeping the chamber inflated.
10. Using the same process: move to valve #2, valve #3 and valve #4 in exact succession, or until the HoverJack reaches desired height.
11. Secure patient safety straps.

12. Turn off HoverTech Air Supply, and attach valve caps, if desired. 13. Move HoverJack to desired location. 14. If transferring patient from the HoverJack onto an adjacent surface,
unbuckle patient safety straps. 15. If it is necessary to lower the patient, release air by opening the
uppermost red deflate valve #4. When chamber #4 is fully deflated, move in succession downward to fully deflate HoverJack.
CHAMBERS MUST BE FULLY INFLATED TO ENSURE STABILITY.
DO NOT RELEASE MULTIPLE CHAMBERS AT ONCE WHEN LOWERING A PATIENT.

Instructions for Use - HoverJack® Air Patient Lift [Manufactured after 6/2023]

1. Place the HoverJack on the floor next to the patient, making sure the chamber with valve #4 is on the top and the chamber with valve #1 is against the floor.

ADJUSTABLE: For use with HoverTech air-assisted positioning devices. There are four different settings. Each press of the button increases the air pressure and rate of inflation. The Green Flashing LED will indicate the inflation speed by the number of flashes (i.e. two flashes equals the second inflation speed).

All of the settings in the ADJUSTABLE range are substantially lower than the HoverMatt and HoverJack settings. The ADJUSTABLE function is not to be used for transferring.
The ADJUSTABLE setting is a safety feature that can be used to ensure the patient is centered on HoverTech air-assisted devices and to gradually accustom a patient who is timid or in pain to both the sound and functionality of the inflated devices.

STANDBY: Used to stop inflation/air flow (Amber LED indicates STANDBY mode).

HOVERMATT 28/34: For use with 28" & 34" HoverMatts and HoverSlings.

HOVERMATT 39/50 & HOVERJACK: For use with 39" & 50" HoverMatts and HoverSlings and 32" & 39" HoverJacks.

Cleaning & Maintenance
OPTION 1 - HOVERJACK CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
In between patient uses, the HoverJack should be wiped down with a cleaning solution used by your hospital for medical equipment disinfection. A 10:1 bleach solution (10 parts water: one part bleach) or disinfectant wipes can also be used. NOTE: Cleaning with bleach solution may discolor fabric.
First remove any visible soil, then clean the area according to the cleaning product manufacturer's recommended dwell time and level of saturation. A gentle scrub brush can also be used on the affected area, if necessary, to help penetrate the HoverJack material.
OPTION 2 - WASHING THE HOVERJACK
1. Ensure HoverJack is completely inflated with all valves and/or caps tightly closed.
2. Using soap and water (maximum water temperature 160° F) and a scrub brush, gently scrub the soiled HoverJack to remove all bioburden.
3. Fully rinse the HoverJack - NOTE: Allow as little water as possible to hit the valves and/or caps.
4. Stand HoverJack on end, valves down to drain as much water as possible. Leave in this position to allow to dry completely before storing.
Do not launder the HoverJackin a washing machine.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The HoverJack should be periodically inspected to ensure the following:
· All patient safety straps are attached. · Transfer handles are all attached. · All buckles are intact and operational. · There are no punctures or tears. HoverJacks with separate inflate and deflate valves: · Inflate valves are all self-sealing with no evident leakage · All deflate valves are equipped with a red cap. · The red caps are intact. HoverJacks with Universal Valves: · Universal valves open fully and close tightly
AIR SUPPLY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
See air supply manual for reference.
NOTE: CHECK YOUR LOCAL/STATE/FEDERAL/INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES BEFORE DISPOSAL.
If the valve spins freely when open, your HoverJack is equipped with a field replaceable valve. To remove the valve, from the fully opened position, pull it straight out from the valve flange. To re-engage the valve, align it with the valve flange and press firmly until it is securely in place - you will feel & hear the tabs engage. Ensure the valve is properly seated before using the HoverJack.
