Bed System Entrapment Information
In April 1999, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in partnership with representatives from the hospital and post-acute bed industry, including Joerns Healthcare, national healthcare organizations, resident advocacy groups, and other federal agencies formed the Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup (HBSW). The workgroup’s goal is to improve the safety of bed frames for residents and patients in all health care settings who are most vulnerable to the risk of entrapment. The efforts of the FDA and the HBSW culminated in the FDA’s release of recommended guidelines intended to reduce the risk of entrapment, including dimensional limits for critical gaps and spaces between bed system components and clinical guidance for assessment and implementation of bed side rails in various health care settings.
Creating a Safer Care Environment
While the guidelines apply to all healthcare settings (hospitals, nursing homes and home care), long-term care facilities have particular exposure since serious entrapment events typically involve frail, elderly or dementia residents.
For More Information
To learn more about compliance options with Joerns products, visit our website at www.joerns.com, or contact our Customer Care representatives at 800.826.0270 and ask for free informational publications.

Joerns® Advanced Support Surfaces
Dolphin Fluid Immersion Simulation® Systems
Introduction
The Dolphin Fluid Immersion Simulation® (FIS) System is an advanced therapy system designed to provide state-of-the-art pressure redistribution by
simulating the effects of a body immersed in a uid
medium. The Dolphin System includes three key components: proprietary software containing the Dolphin FIS protocols, a microprocessor-containing Dolphin AutoVector® control module, and the Dolphin advanced support surface.
The Dolphin System automatically measures the
specic anthropometric characteristics of the individual
patient as they engage the support surface. Based on active feedback measurements, the Dolphin AutoVector control module monitors the support surface more than 100 times per second for any patient movement or surface changes. The system’s
software integrates this specic weight and body
contour data and directs automatic adjustments to maintain an optimized three-dimensional support surface environment. The result is an individualized
immersion prole, based on specic patient
measurements and movements, that creates a near neutrally buoyant state on the support surface.
The Dolphin FIS System delivers many of the best
elements of air-uidized therapy such as three-
dimensional volumetric engagement and the elimination of gradient shear forces, leading to positive
outcomes for aps, grafts, and pressure ulcers. The
Dolphin technology provides minimal distortion to the body, while maintaining the normal orientation of bone, muscle, and subcutaneous tissue. The Dolphin FIS System has been demonstrated to reduce the risk of pressure ulcer formation as part of protocols for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.
The Dolphin FIS System is designed as a therapeutic mattress system for patients weighing up to 1,000 pounds (454.5 Kg).1 It is customizable to t bed frames, including bariatric bed frames, up to 48 inches (122 cm) wide.
1
Mattress weight capacity only; total weight must not exceed bed
frame manufacturers’ specied load capacity, and when paired with
an appropriate surface.
2
Stretcher surface weight capacity only; total weight must not exceed
stretcher manufacturers’ specied load capacity, and when paired
with an appropriate surface.
3
Wheelchair cushion weight capacity only; total weight must not
exceed wheelchair manufacturers’ specied load capacity, and when
paired with an appropriate surface.
The Dolphin Pediatric FIS System is designed as a therapeutic mattress system for a specialty population weighing between 5 and 300 pounds (2.3 kg to 136 kg).¹
The Dolphin FIS Stretcher Pad is designed for patients weighing up to 700 pounds (318.1 Kg).
2
The Dolphin Wheelchair Cushion System is designed for patients weighing up to 250 pounds (113.6 Kg).
3
Warning: The risk of entrapment can arise when equipment is placed on bed frames that leave gaps of even a few inches between the therapy mattress and the head panel, foot panel, and bed or side rails. The equipment is NOT to be used when such gaps are present. See “Important Precautions” section of this manual.
Joerns’ Dolphin System is suitable for the treatment and prevention of all stages of pressure ulcers, for patients who have been assessed to be at risk for pressure ulcers, the complications of immobility and
for patients with healing grafts and ap sites.
The Dolphin FIS System is quiet, comfortable and simple enough for single caregiver installation and operation. As the Dolphin System is self-monitoring, there is no need for direct intervention or manual entry to adjust comfort settings. The system allows manual adjustment of the comfort setting to accommodate patient preference. After manual adjustment, the Dolphin AutoVector Control Module will optimize the
immersion prole automatically at the new comfort
setting.
Additionally, the low friction surface materials coupled with the shear-reducing aspects of the FIS technology result in a surface system that effectively manages both vertical and horizontal shear forces, allowing the Dolphin FIS System to meet the comfort and clinical requirements of your patients up to 1,000 lbs. (454.5 Kg),1 700 lbs. (318.1 Kg),2 250 lbs. (113.6 Kg).
3
We have ensured that the Dolphin FIS System addresses the three key areas in the treatment of compromised skin: pressure redistribution, reduction in friction and reduction in shearing forces.

Joerns® Advanced Support Surfaces Dolphin Fluid Immersion Simulation® Systems
Shear and Friction Reduction
Friction results when a patient’s skin rubs against another surface. Shear injury occurs when the skin is stationary in relation to the support surface, while the underlying tissues and vessels are stretched and damaged. The exterior surface of the Dolphin FIS System therapy pad is constructed from a very smooth nylon fabric with low friction and low shear properties to protect the patient’s skin from these damaging forces.
Indications for Use
Note: The selection of a pressure redistribution surface should be based on each individual patient’s clinical condition, diagnosis and/or co-morbidities. The choice and use of a support surface is one factor in a holistic program of wound prevention and treatment.
Spinal Cord Injury
The Dolphin FIS System can be used for patients with spinal cord injury once the acute injury has been stabilized and these patients have been assessed and cleared by the appropriate physician. The Dolphin FIS System is not recommended for use by patients with unstable spinal fractures.
Pressure Redistribution
Amputations Grafts Burns Neurology Dermatology Pressure Ulcers Flaps Rehabilitation
Pain Management
AIDS Arthritis Oncology
The Dolphin FIS System is a state-of-the-art pressure redistribution technology designed to alleviate vertical shear forces.
The therapy mattresses and specialty surfaces
conform to the specic shape of the patient, minimizing
soft tissue distortion, reducing ischial tuberosity penetration into muscle fascia, and promoting
improved blood ow compared to traditional surfaces.
Figure 1
Note: Pressure redistribution and pain management
are conditions and diagnoses for which the Dolphin FIS System may be indicated. Occasionally, there are orthopedic and neurological patients that require body
positioning to be maintained in specic alignment.
The use of the Dolphin FIS System for these patients should be considered on an individual basis and cleared by the attending physician.
Features
The Dolphin FIS System is comprised of two components:
• Therapy control unit
• Therapy mattress system or specialty surface (wheelchair cushion, stretcher pad)
Therapy Control Unit Features (Figure 1)
• Easy to read graphics for intuitive set up and therapy control.
• The Bed position operates the system when the patient is in a traditional healthcare bed. Chair/ Stretcher position can be used when the patient is on a smaller specialty surface; the timing cycle adjusts for use on the smaller surface (i.e. Dolphin Wheelchair Cushion).
• Requires no manual data input – automatically
adjusts to patient’s body weight and prole to create
a neutrally buoyant, 3D support environment.
• A microprocessor and proprietary software analyzes the patient’s shape in a 3D volumetric format.
• Continuously monitors the surface more than 100 times per second for any patient movement.

Joerns® Advanced Support Surfaces
Dolphin Fluid Immersion Simulation® Systems
• Joerns recommends that caregivers allow the Dolphin FIS System to set and control the
immersion prole. However, to accommodate individual patient preference, caregivers may use the Comfort Adjust arrows to manually adjust comfort settings. It is recommended that manual adjustments of more than one (1) LED step up or down from the
system prole be avoided.
Note: The Dolphin FIS System automatically adjusts
the neutral buoyant immersion prole based on
individual patient characteristics. The Comfort Adjust feature is designed to allow for individual
patient comfort preferences. Should the patient request adjustment due to bed articulation, such as head of bed elevation, this may be accomplished by increasing the Comfort Adjust indicator up or down incrementally one LED. Care should be taken to minimize adjustments and allow the System to
control the therapy surface’s optimal prole.
Note (applies to therapy mattress): If patient is over 250 lbs. (113.6 Kg), moving the Comfort Adjust indicator to one LED above the Auto Feedback LED may improve comfort. If patient is less than 100 lbs. (45.4 Kg), moving the Comfort Adjust indicator to one LED below Auto Feedback LED may improve comfort.
Autorm mode may be desirable for patient transfer and other patient care procedures. The system will automatically return to the previous setting after approximately 15 minutes.
• An alarm will sound and LED will illuminate in the event of a fault condition (see Alarm fault conditions; p.8).
• The rechargeable battery back-up will provide alternate power to the control unit for approximately 12 hours in the event that the system is disconnected or during a power failure. The battery will begin to recharge when power is restored. Note: The Storage Switch must be in the Battery On position to recharge.

CPR
CPR deation can be done by twisting the CPR valve. The therapy mattress will deate rapidly (deation time varies depending on patient weight and prole).
For V-Matt Therapy Mattress Models Only: For
quick CPR deation, locate the red CPR ag and twist the valve lightly. The mattress will rapidly deate. Note: The safety cell will remain inated.
Battery Back-up
A sealed 12 VDC rechargeable battery automatically provides all necessary power to the system when normal AC source is removed or fails for approximately 12 hours. The Dolphin FIS System will continue to provide therapy. This allows a patient to be moved freely without the AC cord being attached to an outlet. When reconnected to an AC source or power is restored, the AC section of the system automatically re-initializes and the battery is recharged.
Figure 2
Figure 3
Note: The Storage Switch must be in the Battery On
position to recharge.
Transport
To transport the patient in bed, unplug the power cord from the main power outlet. Store the power cord in the space provided under the unit to avoid damaging the cord during transport. The battery back-up will provide power for continued therapy mattress system operation for approximately 12 hours.
Keyboard Functions
Warning: For important precautions, see page two.
Caution: The patient’s head should be positioned in
the center of the top section of the therapy mattress. When using the therapy mattress system, always ensure that the patient is positioned properly within
the connes of the bed. Do not let any extremities
protrude over the side or between the bed rails when the therapy mattress is being used. Joerns bed frames and therapy mattresses adhere to the FDA recommended guidelines for entrapment zones.
Caution: For pediatric use, the patient should be positioned in the center of the therapy mattress with the length of the body parallel to the length of the mattress.
Figure 4
Storage Switch (Figure 2)
The Storage Switch is located on the bottom of the control unit by the power cord. Turn the Storage Switch to Battery On for normal operation of the control unit and to insure the battery charges when connected to AC power. Turn the Storage Switch to Storage Mode when the control unit will not be in use.
Power Button (Figure 3) Use the Power button to turn the power on and off.

In the Bed position, the system operates normally, but when switched to the Chair/Stretcher position, the timing cycles change to allow use on a specialty surface.
Using the specialty surface allows the system to be moved from the patient bed to a wheelchair cushion or stretcher pad, providing the normal functions of the system.
Joerns® Advanced Support Surfaces
Dolphin Fluid Immersion Simulation® Systems
Alarm (Figure 4)
The warning or alarm subsystem consists of LED’s and a beeper which displays red and beeps when a fault condition occurs.
A fault condition is considered to be any of the following conditions:
• Pressure too hard for more than a 10 second period
• Pressure too soft for more than a 10 minute period
• Differential error between “Comfort Adjust setting” and “Auto Feedback” for more than a 30 minute period
The beeper may be manually disabled for up to 30 minutes by pressing the yellow Alarm button.
This feature avoids annoyance while a fault is being corrected, but will automatically re-assert itself after 30 minutes time, or until the fault is corrected. The LED’s continue to function normally, regardless of the Alarm on/off state.
Lock (Figure 4)
The Lock button and associated yellow LED permit the entire control panel to be locked from further adjustments.
When locked, pressing the Lock button again restores normal operation and the yellow LED is extinguished.
Battery Indicators (Figure 4)
The Battery indicator will blink when the AC power has been interrupted and the control unit is running on the battery back-up power.
The Battery Low indicator will blink when the battery back-up is at the end of its charge life. Plug control unit back into a power outlet as soon as possible to resume normal operation. Upon restoration of AC power, the battery back-up will begin the recharge process. Note: To ensure the battery recharges when connected to AC power, the Storage Switch must be in the Battery On position.
Figure 5
Figure 6
Immersion Prole Window (Figure 5)
The Immersion Prole indicates the system response to patient initial positioning and position change. When in optimal position, the green LED will illuminate. When the system is in transition, the yellow/red LEDs will illuminate. The Dolphin FIS System will recreate
the optimal prole based on individual patient body
characteristics. No manual adjustment is needed.
Comfort Controls (Figure 6)
Autorm
The Autorm mode is strictly used for patient transfers,
repositioning and to quickly inate the surface when it
has not been in use.
Caution: The System should never be left in Autorm mode while a patient is on the surface outside of transfers or repositioning. Autorm is not a therapy mode.
To override the Autorm mode, press the Autorm button again.

Page 10
Joerns® Advanced Support Surfaces Dolphin Fluid Immersion Simulation® Systems
The Autorm button causes the therapy mattress or
specialty surface to ll to maximum ination. After 15
minutes, the system will automatically reset to the
previous ination level.
While in the Autorm mode, the Comfort Adjust indicator LED will remain on its normal setting to show
where the ination will return upon resumption of
normal operation. Also, the Comfort Adjust indicator will blink amber at the rm position when in Autorm mode. There is no restriction against the user immediately returning to the Autorm mode once leaving that mode.
The Comfort Adjust indicator indicates where the manual pressure adjustment is set by the Comfort Adjust arrows.
Comfort Adjust Joerns recommends that caregivers allow the Dolphin FIS System to set and control the
immersion prole. However, to accommodate individual patient preference, caregivers may use the Comfort Adjust arrows to manually adjust comfort settings. It is recommended that manual adjustments of more than one (1) LED step up or down from the
system prole be avoided.
It is normal for the Auto Feedback LED to move to red when the patient is transitioning on the therapy mattress. Allow the Dolphin FIS System to optimize. If the LED lights remain consistently red after the system has had the chance to optimize, manual adjustment with the Comfort Adjust arrows is needed.
Grounding Instructions
Warning: Use a properly grounded, AC outlet for this product. Failure to use a grounded outlet could result in personal injury or damage to equipment or structure
wiring, including risk of re. A qualied electrician
should be contacted to correct the wiring and ensure a properly grounded outlet.
Before installing this product, have the electrical system checked to make sure the electrical circuits and the electrical service are properly grounded. There is always a chance of a loose connection or poor installation of a ground wire that causes the loss of proper ground at the outlet. Inadequate grounding at electrical outlets can occur even if there is a ground wire. Wires can become loose over time at the connection to the outlet. Note: To install new wires on
a circuit requires a qualied electrician.
Note: The Dolphin FIS System automatically adjusts
the neutral buoyant immersion prole based on
individual patient characteristics. The Comfort Adjust feature is designed to allow for individual
patient comfort preferences. Should the patient request adjustment due to bed articulation, such as head of bed elevation, this may be accomplished by increasing the Comfort Adjust indicator up or down incrementally one LED. Care should be taken to minimize adjustments and allow the System to control
the therapy surface’s optimal prole.
Auto Feedback
The Auto Feedback indicator scale is represented by 10 LED’s and cover the full control range from Soft to Firm.
When operating within normal parameters, the Auto Feedback LED scale will be amber. Should the system be outside of normal parameters, the LED scale will move from amber to red, indicating a potential need to manually adjust with Comfort Adjust arrows.
How to Determine if Your Outlet has the Proper Grounding
Most hardware stores sell circuit testers that can be used to test an outlet for proper grounding. The tester plugs into an outlet and by observing the indicator lights you can determine if the outlet is properly grounded. For a higher level of assurance, an electrician should be requested to thoroughly test the electrical system with more reliable equipment.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, please contact Joerns Healthcare for assistance.

Setup
Warning: For important precautions, see page two.
Caution: Do not place the control unit on the oor.
Position the power cord to prevent tripping hazards.
Therapy Mattress
• Remove the existing mattress from the bed.
• Unpack the therapy mattress with the hose connection at the foot end of the bed and the therapy cells facing up. Secure the therapy mattress straps to the movable part of the bed frame.
• If the therapy pad is not already on the therapy mattress, place it on the therapy mattress. Attach to the therapy mattress using either the straps or zipper
depending on the mattress conguration.
• Hang the control unit on the foot of the bed facing away from the bed.
• Connect hose set from the therapy mattress to the control unit securely. When properly installed, the hose connectors should audibly click into place.
• Turn Storage Switch to Battery On position. The Storage Switch is located on the underside of the unit.
• Plug in the control unit and the yellow Standby light will illuminate. Press the Power button. The control unit will start and the green light will illuminate. Keep the control unit ON while the patient is on the therapy mattress.
• The control unit must be set to the Bed setting using the Mode button when connected to a therapy mattress. Use the Chair/Stretcher mode when the control unit is connected to a specialty surface.
Inate the therapy mattress using the Autorm
button. The therapy mattress is fully inated when the immersion prole is indicated in green.
• Place the patient on the therapy mattress and allow system to optimize. Note: If patient is over 250 lbs. (113.6 Kg), moving the Comfort Adjust indicator to one LED above the Auto Feedback LED may improve comfort. If patient is less than 100 lbs. (45.4 Kg), moving the Comfort Adjust indicator to one LED below Auto Feedback may improve comfort.
• When the Dolphin FIS System is working properly, no hand check is normally recommended. If needed, a traditional hand check may be preformed as outlined below:
1. Begin by placing the back section of the bed in
the appropriate position based on the patient’s clinical condition.
2. Select the highest or most rm Comfort Adjust
setting.
3. Hand Check: Place a hand with three (3) ngers (if head of bed at 30° or higher) or four (4)
ngers (if head of bed lower than 30°) stacked
vertically beneath the cells of the mattress and above the safety mattress directly between the lowest point of the patient’s sacral area/buttocks.
The smallest nger should be resting on the
safety mattress.
4. Sequentially reduce the Comfort Adjust setting
to the rmness level where the height of the three (3) or four (4) ngers can slide with
minimal resistance between the patient’s sacral area/buttocks and the lower safety mattress. This is the proper Comfort Adjust setting for the
patient to assure proper ination of the air cells
and prevent bottoming out of the mattress.
5. Document the patient’s Comfort Adjust setting for future reference, and re-evaluate with the hand check as the patient’s condition warrants.
Wheelchair Cushion
• Remove any existing cushion from the wheelchair.
• Unpack the wheelchair cushion with the hose connection at the back of the wheelchair and the therapy cells facing up. Secure the wheelchair cushion straps to the seat section of the wheelchair frame.
• If the therapy pad is not already on the wheelchair cushion, place it on the wheelchair cushion. Attach the zipper around the perimeter of the wheelchair cushion.

Nursing Procedures
Recommended Linen:
Special linens are not recommended for the Dolphin FIS therapy mattress. There is no need for a bottom sheet as the therapy pad should be covering the therapy cells at all times. The patient should never be lying or sitting directly on the therapy cells. Based
upon the patient’s specic needs, the following linens
may be utilized:
• Draw or slide sheet to aid in positioning and to further minimize friction and shearing.
• Incontinence barrier pad for patients incontinent of urine and/or stool, and patients with heavily draining wounds.
• Add top sheet, blanket and/or bedspread as needed for patient comfort.
• Keep the amount of padding between the patient and therapy mattress or specialty surface to a minimum for optimum performance. Placing excessive pads or sheets between the patient and the therapy mattress or specialty surface may negatively impact performance.
Changing the Therapy Pad
Place the therapy pad over the therapy cells, tting the corner of the cushions into the corner of the
therapy pad (similar to a tted sheet).
• Secure the therapy pad over the therapy mattress or specialty surface tub.

Patient Positioning and Comfort
General Repositioning
Patients should be turned and repositioned per individual turning schedule or per facility policy. It may be helpful to activate the Autorm mode to achieve
a rm therapy mattress for repositioning purposes.
The unit will automatically return to the mode it was in prior to Autorm in approximately 15 minutes or you can manually return to therapy mode once patient has been repositioned.
Unless contraindicated, it is desirable to keep the
back section of the bed in the at position to provide
optimal pressure redistribution and minimize the risk of shearing injuries.
Elevating Patient into Sitting Position
The special properties of the Dolphin FIS System therapy pad reduce the opportunity for shear and friction that may occur when raising the back section of other bed systems. As with any surface, sliding can be expected, therefore patients should be repositioned after elevation. The knee gatch or foot section of the
bed may be elevated rst, to help prevent the patient
from sliding when the back section is elevated.
Incontinence
Traction
With any traction equipment or unstable fractures, maintain physician-directed angle of articulation and guard against risks of patient migration or inadvertent
deation of patient surface.
Skin Care
Monitor skin conditions regularly, particularly in areas where incontinence and drainage occur or collect, and consider adjunct or alternative therapies for high acuity patients. Early intervention may be essential to preventing serious skin breakdown.
Bed Height
To minimize the risks of falls or injury, the patient surface should always be in the lowest practical position when the patient is unattended. Make sure areas under and around the frame are clear of objects, persons and parts of body before adjusting height.
Cleaning
Warning: Unplug the control unit from its power source. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Moisture against the skin surface leads to maceration, or softening of the tissues. To prevent maceration, an incontinence barrier pad may be used to absorb the excess moisture.
In the event of incontinence or excess drainage on the therapy pad, the pad should be cleaned as recommended in the Cleaning section of this manual.
Safety Information
When using the Dolphin FIS System, always ensure that the patient is positioned properly within the
connes of the bed or other specialty item. Do not let
any extremities protrude over the side or between the bed rails when the mattress is being used.
Patient Migration
Specialty bed products are designed to reduce/ redistribute pressure and the shearing/friction forces on the patient’s skin. The risk of gradual movement and/or sinking into hazardous positions of entrapment and/or inadvertent bed exit may be increased due to the nature of these products.
Warning: Do not expose the unit to excessive moisture that would allow for liquid pooling. Personal injury or equipment damage could occur.
Caution: Do not use harsh cleansers/detergents, such as scouring pads and heavy-duty grease removers, or solvents, such as acetone. Equipment damage could occur.
Control Unit
Wipe off dust. If necessary, clean the housing exterior with a disinfectant solution or a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Then wipe dry.

General Cleaning
If there is no visible soilage with possible body uids,
we recommend that you clean the therapy mattress and specialty surface with a mild detergent and warm water. If disinfection is desired, you may use a combination cleanser/disinfectant as explained in “Disinfecting” area.
• Patient care equipment that does not come in contact with mucous membranes or non-contact skin requires low-level disinfection. Wiping surfaces with a properly prepared detergent or disinfectant carries out low level disinfecting.
• Processing of dirty patient care equipment should take place in a designated area away from clean or sterile supplies and food preparation areas.
• Detergent/disinfectants should not be mixed with other germicides or detergents. Using the proper dilution ensures the most effective killing power of the disinfectant.
• Wash hands often and well, including after removal of gloves.
• Patient care equipment that is used in isolation areas should be disinfected in accordance with all internal policies and procedures regarding such equipment.
Therapy Pad
The therapy pad can be wiped down with a disinfectant solution or a mild detergent with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, the therapy pad can be laundered in a washer and dryer with warm water (no more than 120°F/48.9°C). A non-bleach detergent should be used sparingly. Wipe dry or allow to air dry.
Steam Cleaning
Do not use any steam cleaning device on the unit. Excessive moisture can damage mechanisms in this unit.
Maintenance
Warning: Only facility-authorized personnel trained by Joerns Healthcare should perform preventative maintenance. Preventative maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Any maintenance done without Joerns’s authorization will invalidate any warranties on this product.
Disinfecting
When there is visible soilage and between patients, we recommend that you disinfect the unit and therapy mattress or specialty surface with a tuberculocidal disinfectant. Disinfectant should be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
• Use rubber gloves and eye protection.
• Prepare detergent/disinfectant (registered by EPA as hospital disinfectant) solution according to instructions on label for correct use-dilution.
• With the therapy mattress or specialty surface
deated, thoroughly wipe down entire mattress, as air cells will lie at. Be sure to reach all areas
underneath and in-between air cells. Allow to air dry.
• If dust or other soiling has accumulated along air hoses, remove using swabs moistened with detergent/disinfectant as necessary. Allow all components to air dry. Wrap therapy mattress or specialty surface in plastic and return to storage area.
• Thoroughly wipe down outside of control unit and allow to air dry. Cover with plastic and return to storage area.
• Remove gloves and dispose; wash hands.
