5.0 Safety Precautions

Review the following SAFETY PRECAUTIONS prior to using an Aire•Twin System.

DANGER

Risk of electric shock. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

WARNING

• Disinfect the Aire•Twin system between patient installations. Failure to disinfect may risk cross-
contamination and infection.

• Check patient at least every 8 hours to assure proper system operation.

• Disconnect the AC power from the wall outlet before attempting to clean the Control Unit. Do not

heat or steam autoclave any component of the system.

CAUTION

• Some medical conditions may not respond to treatment of this type. Patient’s skin condition
should be inspected regularly. Consult physician if any redness or skin breakdown occurs.

• For grounding reliability, plug only into a properly grounded outlet.

• Use minimal layers of sheeting and incontinence pads. Too many layers between the patient’s

skin and the support surface will reduce the effectiveness of the system.

• Do not pull linens tightly over mattress. Tight sheets can cause “hammocking” and reduce
effectiveness of treatment.

• Portable and RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment.

• Make certain all mattress straps are secured to the bed frame to prevent mattress from sliding and

causing patient injury.

• The Aire•Twin mattress is not intended to be AND DOES NOT FUNCTION AS a patient fall device.
SIDE RAILS MUST BE USED WITH THE AIRE•TWIN MATTRESS TO PREVENT PATIENT
FALLS, unless determined unnecessary based on the facility protocol or the patient’s medical
needs determined by the facility. IN SUCH CASES THE USE OF OTHER SUITABLE PATIENT
SAFETY MEASURES ARE RECOMMENDED. When using side rails, the use of side rail pads is
strongly recommended. Failure to use a side rail pad may result in patient injury.

• During mattress set-up, insure that all mattress air cells are inflated and that air cells are secured
to the mattress base with the snaps located on each side of the air cell. Air cells not properly
secured or inflated may result in compromised therapy.

• Insure that the Aire•Twin mattress properly fits the bed frame on which it is being placed. Using
the Aire•Twin mattress on a larger than 35 inch wide bed frame may result in mattress sliding and
patient injury.
