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, patient 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 patients and residents 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.

Entrapment zones involve the relationship of bed components often directly assembled by the healthcare facility rather than the manufacturer. Therefore, compliance is the responsibility of the facility.

As the leading manufacturer of long-term care beds and a frontrunner in addressing this critical issue, Joerns Healthcare can offer you the expertise, assistance and products to bring your facility into compliance.

Joerns® Compliance Solutions

Matching the right bed components in order to meet regulatory guidelines can be complex.

That is why Joerns offers a wide array of compliance options. We assist customers in selecting compliant

accessories recommended for their specic bed

model.

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 patients.

ProCair Plus

Introduction

The ProCair Plus, provided by Joerns Healthcare, is a convertible dynamic pressure redistribution mattress replacement system. Pressure redistribution and alternating pressure therapy have been demonstrated to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers and as being a valuable aid in the treatment of pressure ulcers.

Warning: The risk of entrapment can arise when equipment is placed on bed frames that leave gaps of even a few inches between the 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.

The ProCair Plus replacement system is suitable for at-risk patients and treatment for Stage I and II pressure ulcers. The ProCair Plus may also be indicated for additional therapeutic intervention based

on patient’s specic assessment.

With the addition of an optional control unit, the therapy can take three forms:

• Alternating– where the mattress therapy cells alternate in pressure.

• Powered– where the mattress internal pressures are increased

• Autorm– provides maximum air ination that

may be used to assist during some patient care procedures or to aid in patient transfer

Pressure Redistribution Optimization (P.R.O.) Technology is a unique, patent pending, air control technology. The P.R.O. Technology system requires no

adjustments or manual ination devices and features

a four-zone inner air core that automatically adjusts to meet the needs of each patient based on body

prole and weight. The head zone remains static and

is comprised of high density foam for maximum patient comfort while the shoulder, torso and foot zones are optimized independently to maximize pressure redistribution.

We have ensured that the ProCair Plus addresses key areas in the treatment of compromised skin: pressure redistribution and reduction in both friction and shearing forces.

Pressure Redistribution

ProCair Plus is a convertible dynamic pressure redistribution mattress system that has three modes of operation: non-powered, alternating pressure and static. The alternating and static modes require the use of an optional control unit (ProTech ES2 or CBC). The non-powered mode requires only that a control unit not be attached and that any external hoses are disconnected from the mattress. In the non-powered mode ProCair Plus functions as dynamic pressure redistribution mattress.

The alternating mode increases circulation to the patient while providing maximum pressure redistribution by alternating pressure between adjacent therapy cells throughout the length of the mattress.

Maximum pressure redistribution is achieved through

delivering a specic amount of air to each therapy cell.

This distributes the patient’s weight evenly over a wide surface area resulting in average pressure readings well below capillary closure levels.

Shear and Friction Reduction

Shearing occurs when the skin is stationary in relation to the support surface, while the underlying tissues and vessels are stretched and damaged. When a patient’s skin rubs against another surface, the result is friction. The ProCair Plus therapy cover is constructed of a breathable, non-plasticizing/moisture proof nylon with a scratch resistant rubber backing with low friction and shear properties to protect the patient’s skin from these damaging forces.

Indications for Use

Pressure Redistribution

• Pressure Ulcers

• Rehabilitation

• Neurology

• Dermatology

• Burns

• Amputations

The selection of a pressure redistribution surface needs to be based on each individual patient’s clinical condition or diagnosis and co-morbidities. The ProCair Plus provides average pressure readings well below capillary closure levels (32mm of Mercury) and allows for adequate perfusion to promote healing.

Page 6

Joerns® Therapeutic Support Surfaces ProCair Plus

Pain Management

• AIDS

• Arthritis

• Oncology

The ProCair Plus provides uniform distribution of weight over a wide surface area, which relieves pressure against bony prominences and provides a soft, gentle therapy surface on which to lie. For patients experiencing severe pain and discomfort due to pressure and/or positioning limitations, consider the ProCair Plus as an adjunct to pain management interventions.

Note: The above are conditions and diagnoses for which the ProCair Plus may be indicated. Occasionally, there are orthopedic and neurological patients that require body positioning to be maintained

in specic alignment. The ProCair Plus has safety features and an inner therapy core to prevent deation

of the therapy cells and to keep your patients in

otation at all times. However, in the event of a puncture or malfunction, the therapy cells may deate

and not provide the necessary alignment. The use of the ProCair Plus for these patients should be considered on an individual basis and discussed with the attending physician.

Grounding Instructions

Warning: Use a properly grounded, three-prong, 120V AC outlet for this product. Failure to use a grounded outlet could result in personal injury or damage to

equipment or house wiring, including risk of re. A qualied electrician should be contacted to correct the

wiring and ensure a properly grounded outlet.

How to Determine if Outlet has the Proper Grounding

Most hardware stores sell circuit testers (Figure 1) 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.

Operation

Warning: For important safeguards, see page two.

Caution: The patient’s head should be positioned in

the center of the top section of the mattress. When using the 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 mattress is being used.

Before installing this product, have the electrical system checked to make sure the electrical circuits and the electrical service are properly grounded.

Having a three-prong outlet does not necessarily mean it is grounded. Sometimes two-prong outlets are replaced with a three-prong type even though there is no ground wire.

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.

Non-Powered Mode

The ProCair Plus in its non-powered mode is a dynamic pressure distribution mattress replacement system consisting of four zones: the head, shoulder, torso and foot. The head zone remains static while the cells in the shoulder, torso and foot areas are connected to the P.R.O. Technology valve that allows air to automatically be drawn into the cells in order to provide the optimal amount of support for each area.

Based on the average patient’s body weight distribution, the volume of air in each of these zones was developed to provide the precise amount of air/ foam mix to ensure optimal clinical outcomes, with average pressure readings well below capillary closure levels (32mm of Mercury).

Over a period of time the air in the therapy cells will

naturally diffuse and the cells will deate. If no control

unit is used, it is recommended that the patient be removed from the mattress periodically to allow the compressed cells to automatically re-expand to their natural state without the need of an external power system.

The LOW PRESSURE light will illuminate if there is not enough pressure in the inner air cells. If this occurs, check the hose connection to the mattress to ensure the hoses are tightly connected without air leakage.

Plus

Patients being transported on the P.R.O. Matt Plus mattress should be transported in the non-powered mode of operation.

• Turn the control unit off

• Disconnect the air hoses from the mattress inlet valve

• Unplug the power cord from line power

After transport, if powered therapy is desired, reconnect hoses and system power according to setup instructions.

Power Failure

In case of an extended power failure, the P.R.O. Matt Plus mattress system should be disconnected from the control unit. The patient can be left on the mattress which will force out air from the internal alternating cells. In the non-powered state, the mattress will continue to function as a dynamic pressure redistribution mattress replacement system.

Note: ES2 Control Unit Only: In the event of a power failure, if power is restored within approximately one hour, the control unit will return to previous settings. If the duration of a power failure extends beyond an hour, the control unit will default to Standby mode when power is restored.

Mattress Connection

All of the control units have a hose set permanently mounted to the side of the control unit. The connector that attaches to the mattress has three ports. The left and right are of the same connector type and are interchangeable. The center connection is different and must be connected to the center port.

To disconnect the control unit from the mattress, locate the ports at the foot end of the mattress (Figure 4). Disconnect the hose set by pressing down and pulling the left and right connectors (Figure 5). Repeat with the middle connector to fully disconnect the mattress from the control unit (Figure 6).

Figure 4

Figure 5 Figure 6

Page 10

Joerns® Therapeutic Support Surfaces ProCair Plus

Note: If the control unit is not powered for a long period of time the connector should be disconnected from the ProCair Plus mattress and the control unit should be stored (see “Storage and Care” section).

Troubleshooting

ProCair Plus surface is not alternating or increasing in pressure:

1. Ensure the hose connection from the therapy mattress system (mattress) to the control unit is securely connected.

2. Ensure that the control unit is plugged into an AC outlet.

3. Ensure that the Power light is illuminated.

4. If steps 1-3 aren’t successful, contact Joerns Healthcare for tech support at 800.826.0270.

Nursing Procedures

Recommended Linen:

Special linens are not necessary for the ProCair Plus, and there is no need for a bottom sheet. The mattress cover should be covering the therapy cells at all times.

Based upon the patient’s specic needs, the following

may be utilized:

• Draw or slide sheet in positioning and to further

minimize friction and shearing.

• Incontinence barrier pad for patients incontinent of

urine and stool, and patients with highly draining wounds.

• Add use top sheets, blankets and/or bedspreads as

needed for patient comfort.

• Keep the amount of padding between the patient

and bed to a minimum for optimum performance.

Patient Positioning and Comfort

patients should be repositioned after elevation. The knee gatch or knee section of the bed may be elevated

rst, to help prevent the patient from sliding when the

back section is elevated.

Contractures

Contractures and foot drop are a concern for all bedridden and immobilized patients. Physical therapy and any prescribed exercises may be performed on the ProCair Plus as is done on any traditional hospital bed.

Incontinence

Moisture against the skin surface leads to maceration, or softening of the tissues. To prevent maceration, we recommend you use an incontinence barrier pad to absorb the excess moisture.

In the event of incontinence or excess drainage, you

should wipe off the excess uid from the bed surface.

Safety Information

Patient Migration

Specialty bed products are designed to reduce 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.

Traction

With any traction or unstable fractures, maintain physician-directed angle of articulation and guard against risks of patient migration or inadvertent

deation of patient surface.

General Repositioning

Patients should be turned and repositioned per an individual turning schedule or per facility policy.

If it is not counter indicated, 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 ProCair Plus 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,

Skin Care

Monitor skin conditions regularly, particularly in areas where incontinence and drainage occur or collect. Early intervention may be essential to preventing serious skin breakdown.

Bed Height

To minimize the risks of falls or injury, the mattress support platform 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.

Warning: Do not expose the mattress or control 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 Cleaning

Wipe off dust. If necessary, clean the housing exterior with a disinfectant solution or a mild detergent and a damp cloth, then wipe dry. Wipe power cord.

General Cleaning

If there is no visible soilage with possible body uids,

we recommend that you clean the mattress system with a mild detergent and warm water. If disinfection is desired, you may use a combination cleanser/ disinfectant as explained in “Disinfecting”.

Disinfecting

When there is visible soilage, and between patients, we recommend that you disinfect the unit and mattress with a tuberculocidal disinfectant. Disinfectant should be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

1. Use rubber gloves and eye protection

2. Prepare detergent/disinfectant (registered by EPA as hospital disinfectant) solution according to instructions on label for correct use-dilution

3. Thoroughly wipe down entire mattress

4. Remove gloves and dispose; wash hands

Filter Cleaning

When using an optional control unit, check the air lter

on the rear of the unit regularly for buildup of dust/dirt. If buildup is visible, turn off the control unit and disconnect the power cord from the wall

outlet. Remove the lter by grasping the lter and

pulling outward. Replace with the second supplied

lter. Ensure the replaced lter covers the entire lter region.

Hand-wash the removed lter in warm soapy water and allow to air dry. When dry, store the lter in a safe place for the next lter maintenance.

1. Patient care equipment that does not come in direct contact with the patient requires only lowlevel disinfection. Wiping surfaces with a properly prepared detergent/disinfectant carries out lowlevel disinfecting.

2. Processing of dirty patient care equipment should take place in a designated area away from clean or sterile supplies and food preparation areas.

3. Detergent/disinfectants should not be mixed with other germicides or detergents. Using the proper dilution ensures the most effective killing power of the disinfectant.

4. Patient care equipment that is used in isolation areas should be disinfected in accordance with all internal policies and procedures regarding such equipment.

Steam Cleaning

Do not use any steam cleaning device on the unit. Excessive moisture can damage mechanisms in this unit.

Do not use any steam cleaning device on the mattress. Excessive moisture can damage mechanisms in this mattress
