ADJUSTABLE: For use with HoverTech air-assisted positioning
devices. There are four dierent 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.

Cleaning & Maintenance
In between patient use, clean the air supply by wiping it down with hospital-grade disinfectant wipes. For best results, follow the wipe manufacturer’s recommended dwell time and instructions for use. Using disinfectant
wipes may degrade the graphics on the control panel over time. Replacement panels can be purchased directly from HoverTech International, if
necessary.
NOTE: Do not spray any cleaners/liquids directly on the air supply.
NOTE: CHECK YOUR LOCAL/STATE/FEDERAL/INTERNATIONAL
GUIDELINES BEFORE DISPOSAL.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Prior to use, a visual inspection should be performed on the HoverTech International Air Supply to ensure the power cord is not frayed or nicked and
that there is no visual damage that would render the air supply unusable.
If any damage is found that would cause the air supply not to function
as intended, the air supply should be removed from use and returned to
HoverTech International for repair.
4 | HoverTech International HT-Air1200Manual Rev. B
The air supply has air filters on either side of the motor. These filters can be
accessed by removing the small screws holding the filter covers in place.
It is recommended that the air filter be cleaned monthly, or according to
the facility’s preventative maintenance schedule. Remove the filter from the
air supply and hold it under warm running water. The filter must air dry
completely before being placed back into the air supply.
The filter should be replaced when it is clogged with debris that does not
break free when it is washed. The filter should also be replaced if it begins
to lose its shape or deteriorate. Filters should always be replaced after use
with an airborne isolation patient. Annual replacement is recommended
for the filters that don’t need to be replaced due to the aforementioned
conditions.
INFECTION CONTROL
If the HT-Air 1200 is used in a patient room where isolation protocols are
being observed, the hospital should employ the same protocols/procedures it utilizes for other equipment used in that patient room. An air hose
cover is recommended when using the air supply with an isolation patient.
These covers are disposable and come in a box of 25 (Model #ASHC).

a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and
TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should
be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the HTAIR1200 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the HTAIR1200 should be
observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the HTAIR1200.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the
HTAIR1200 including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation
applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance:

Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the HTAIR1200
The HTAIR1200 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the
HTAIR1200 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the HTAIR1200 as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
