H HoverJacks manufactured after 7/2024 User Manual EMS Evacuation HoverJack® Instructions for Use as an Air Patient Lift 1. Place EMS Evacuation 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 or Universal Valves are closed BEFORE INFLATING. If the Universal Valve is open and spins freely, center the valve and push in while turning clockwise to engage threads. 3. Log roll patient onto the deflated EMS Evacuation HoverJack, and position patient with feet at the valve end where indicated. Alternatively, the patient can be placed on top of the EMS Evacuation 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 EMS Evacuation HoverJack. Always deflate the HoverMatt prior to inflating EMS Evacuation HoverJack. 4. Always use a minimum of two caregivers while using the EMS Evacuation HoverJack during inflation/transport. 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 the 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 valve #1 of EMS Evacuation HoverJack (valve closest to the floor). 9. When fully inflated, remove hose. Chamber remains inflated. 10. Secure patient safety straps. 11. Using the same process: move to valve #2, valve #3 and valve #4 in exact succession, or until the EMS Evacuation HoverJack reaches desired height. 12. Turn off HoverTech Air Supply, and attach valve caps, if desired and applicable. 13. Move EMS Evacuation HoverJack to desired location. 14. If transferring from the EMS Evacuation HoverJack onto an adjacent surface, unbuckle patient safety straps. 15. If it is necessary to lower patient, slowly open the uppermost valve. When chamber is fully deflated, move in succession downwards to fully deflate. Depress center button for slower deflation 16. Close all valves once deflated so the EMS Evacuation HoverJack is ready for next use. CHAMBERS MUST BE FULLY INFLATED TO ENSURE STABILITY. DO NOT RELEASE MULTIPLE CHAMBERS AT ONCE WHEN LOWERING A PATIENT. EMS Evacuation HoverJack® Instructions for Use as an Evacuation Device 1. To inflate, follow steps 1-11 of instructions for use as an air patient lift. 2. Unzip foot pouch and position EMS Evacuation HoverJack as close as possible to adjacent surface. 3. Transfer patient from bed or stretcher onto EMS Evacuation HoverJack. 4. Ensure that the patient's body is centered, and zip foot pouch. 5. If necessary, inflate the head-end wedge. 6. Using the buckles, secure safety straps over the patient and adjust until taut. 7. Using foot end transport straps and handles located around the perimeter of the EMS Evacuation HoverJack, pull patient to the nearest stairwell, and position the EMS Evacuation HoverJack so that the patient can be taken down the stairs feet first. 8. Before descending the stairs, chambers 3 and 4 must be fully deflated. To release air, slowly open valve #4. When chamber #4 is fully deflated, repeat the process for chamber #3. DO NOT RELEASE MULTIPLE CHAMBERS AT ONCE. 9. Retighten patient safety straps after deflating chamber #3 and #4 to ensure patient is secure. 10. Caregiver at head end will control evacuation using head end transport straps. Caregiver at head end should be physically stronger. 11. While 2 caregivers hold the headend transport straps and handles, the foot end caregiver will begin to pull the patient down the stairs with the foot end transport strap. The Teflon-infused bottom material will allow the EMS Evacuation HoverJack to slide down each flight. If necessary, the foot end caregiver can use their thigh to brace the EMS Evacuation HoverJack and slow the descent. Once at ground level, move the patient to safety. WHEN LOWERING A PATIENT ENSURE THAT PATIENT REMAINS CENTERED ON THE EMS EVACUATION HOVERJACK, AND THAT THEIR HEAD DOES NOT SLUMP FORWARD AND RESTRICT BREATHING DURING EVACUATION. A MINIMUM OF THREE CAREGIVERS (TWO AT HEAD END AND ONE AT FOOT END) SHOULD BE USED TO EVACUATE PATIENT DOWN STAIRS). EMSEVHJManual, Rev.

Adjustable/ Pressure Setting Transfer Speed High Standby (Amber LED) Transfer Speed Low 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.
