The HoverTech Air Supply inflates the HoverMatt to cushion and cradle the patient, while air simultaneously escapes from the holes on the underside, reducing the force needed to move the patient by 80-90%. I N D I C AT I O N S · Patients unable to assist in their own lateral transfer · Patients whose weight or girth poses a potential health risk for the caregivers responsible for repositioning or laterally transferring said patients C O N T R A I N D I C AT I O N S · Patients who are experiencing thoracic, cervical or lumbar fractures that are deemed unstable should not use the HoverMatt unless a clinical decision has been made by your facility. INTENDED CARE SETTINGS · Hospitals, long term or extended care facilities PRECAUTIONS HOVERMATT · Caregivers must verify that all caster brakes have been engaged prior to transfer. · Use a minimum of two caregivers during air-assisted lateral patient transfers. · For in-bed air-assisted positioning tasks, more than one caregiver may need to be used. Side rails must be raised with one caregiver. · For air-assisted proning, see HoverTech's training video on www.HoverMatt.com. · 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. · Never attempt to move a patient on an uninflated HoverMatt. · WARNING: In the OR To prevent the patient from slipping, always deflate the HoverMatt and secure the patient and HoverMatt to the OR table prior to moving the table into an angled position. PRECAUTIONS AIR SUPPLY · Not for use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or in a hyperbaric chamber or oxygen tent. · Route the power cord in a manner to ensure freedom from hazard. · Avoid blocking the air intakes of the air supply. · When using the HoverMatt in the MRI environment, a 25 ft. specialty MRI hose is required (available for purchase). · CAUTION: Avoid electric shock. Do not open air supply. · WARNING: Reference product specific user manuals for operating instructions. 2 | HoverTech International HMManual, Rev.

The HT-Air is not for use with the HoverJack Battery Cart. 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.

K User Manual Using the HoverMatt® Air Transfer System in the Operating Room OPTION 1 Place the HoverMatt on the Pre-Op stretcher or bed prior to patient arrival. Have patient ambulate onto bed/stretcher or use a HoverMatt to perform a lateral transfer. Once in the OR, ensure the OR table is secured and locked to the floor, then transfer the patient onto the OR table. Have a caregiver at headend of OR table ensure the patient is centered before deflating the HoverMatt. Position the patient as needed for surgery. Tuck the edges of the HoverMatt under the OR table pad, and ensure table rails are accessible. For supine surgeries, follow your facility's patient positioning protocol. After the case, release the edges of the HoverMatt from under the OR table. Buckle patient safety straps loosely. Partially inflate the HoverMatt using the ADJUSTABLE setting, have headend caregiver ensure the patient is centered, then fully inflate using the appropriate high speed setting. Transfer the patient to the stretcher or bed. OPTION 2 Prior to patient arrival, place the HoverMatt on the OR table and tuck the edges under the OR table pad. Ensure table rails are accessible. Transfer the patient onto the table, and proceed as described in Option 1. TRENDELENBURG POSITION If Trendelenburg or Reverse Trendelenburg is required, an appropriate anti-slide device that secures to the frame of the OR table must be used. For Reverse Trendelenburg, a device that clamps to the OR table frame, such as a footplate, should be used. If the surgery also includes a tilt sideto-side (airplaning), the patient must be safely secured to accommodate this position prior to starting surgery. Cleaning and Preventive Maintenance In between patient uses, the HoverMatt 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. It is important to follow the cleaning solution manufacturer's instructions for use, including dwell time and saturation. NOTE: Cleaning with bleach solution may discolor fabric. If a reusable HoverMatt becomes badly soiled, it should be laundered in a washing machine with a 160° F (71° C) maximum water temperature. A 10:1 bleach solution may be used (10 parts water: one part bleach) during the wash cycle. The HoverMatt should be air dried if possible. Air drying can be expedited by using the air supply to circulate air through the inside of the HoverMatt. If using a dryer, the temperature setting should be set on the coolest setting. Drying temperature should never exceed 115° F (46° C). The backing of the nylon is polyurethane and will begin to deteriorate after repeated high temperature drying. The Double-Coated HoverMatt should not be put in the dryer. To help keep the HoverMatt clean, HoverTech International recommends the use of the HoverCoverTM Disposable Absorbent Cover or their Disposable Sheets. Whatever the patient is lying on to keep the hospital bed clean may also be placed on top of the HoverMatt. The Single-Patient Use HoverMatt is not intended to be laundered. AIR SUPPLY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE See air supply manual for reference. NOTE: CHECK YOUR LOCAL/STATE/FEDERAL/INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES BEFORE DISPOSAL. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Prior to use, a visual inspection should be performed on the HoverMatt to ensure that there is no visible damage that would render the HoverMatt unusable. The HoverMatt should have all of its patient safety straps and handles (reference the manual for all appropriate parts). There should be no tears or holes that would prevent the HoverMatt from inflating. If any damage is found that would cause the system not to function as intended, the HoverMatt should be removed from use and returned to HoverTech International for repair (Single-Patient Use HoverMatts should be discarded). INFECTION CONTROL HoverTech International offers superior infection control with our heatsealed reusable HoverMatt. This unique construction eliminates the needle holes of a sewn mattress which can be potential bacterial entry ways. Additionally, the heat-sealed, Double-Coated HoverMatt offers a stain and fluid proof surface for easy cleaning. The Single-Patient Use HoverMatt is also available to eliminate the possibility of cross-contamination and the need for laundering. If the HoverMatt is used for an isolation patient, the hospital should employ the same protocols/procedures it utilizes for the bed mattress and/or for linens in that patient room. HMManual, Rev.
