HT-Wedge Adjustable Positioning Device TM

Introduction Description of the HT-Wedge Adjustable Positioning Device TM

The HT-Wedge is an inflatable positioning device that lifts and positions a patient’s head and chest without manual lifting. The dual chamber design of the HT-Wedge features two (2) self-sealing valves that allow the patient’s chest and head to be elevated or lowered individually for easy, customizable positioning. A small, variable speed air supply controls the inflation speed for ease of use and patient comfort. The HT-Wedge has a maximum weight bearing capacity of 800 lbs.

Benefits of the HT-Wedge Adjustable Positioning Device TM

• Two chamber design provides maximum adjustability of the head and chest without manual lifting. • Valves located on each chamber are clearly labeled to facilitate easy identification for head and chest inflation. • Microbial-controlling nylon minimizes infection risk. • Rapid inflation and deflation helps maintain efficient workflow. • Low profile when deflated allows product to be left underneath the patient.

Instructions for Use 1. Place the HT-Wedge on the surface where it is to be used and secure with rail straps by using the appropriate snaps for the width of the table. 2. For head and chest elevation, center patient on the HT-Wedge, with the patient’s head close to the top edge of the pillow. 3. To begin inflation, hold the HoverTech HTAIR1200 air supply hose against the head inflation valve. Press the ADJUSTABLE button on the HTAIR1200 keypad to initiate air flow and select the appropriate speed. Partially inflate head pillow. Move hose to chest inflation valve and inflate to desired height. Then, finish inflating head pillow.

ADJUSTABLE Use for HT-Wedge and HoverApps 4. The firmness can be reduced by pressing the diaphragm in each inflation valve. This will slowly deflate the chamber and allow the firmness to be adjusted. 5. When the procedure is complete, deflate the HT-Wedge by pressing the diaphragm in each inflation valve until both chambers are fully deflated. The HT-Wedge can be re-inflated as necessary.

NEVER LEAVE PATIENT UNATTENDED ON AN INFLATED HT-WEDGE.

Cleaning Using a germicidal cleaner (phenolic disinfectant, quaternary solution or other intermediate level disinfectant according to facility protocol) and a damp cloth, completely wipe down to disinfect the HT-Wedge. Apply germicidal cleaner directly into hard to reach areas. Let air dry. Do not launder.

Infection Control Whatever the patient is lying on to keep the surface clean may be placed on top of the HT-Wedge to help keep it clean. If desired, a disposable sheet may be used to cover the HT-Wedge (available for separate purchase). If the HT-Wedge is used on an isolation patient, the hospital should employ the same protocols /procedures it utilizes for the bed mattress and /or for the linen in that patient room.

Preventive Maintenance Prior to use, a visual inspection should be performed on the HT-Wedge to ensure that there is no visible damage that would render the HT-Wedge unusable. The HT-Wedge should be periodically inspected to ensure the following: • All inflation /deflation valves are self-sealing with no evidence of leakage. • All rails straps are attached to the HT-Wedge. • All snaps are intact and operational. • There are no punctures or tears in the HT-Wedge. If any damage is found that would cause the HT-Wedge not to function as intended, the HT-Wedge should be removed from use and returned to HoverTech International for repair (see General 3 Returns and Repairs).

HT-Roller Lateral Turning Device TM

Introduction Description of the HT-Roller Lateral Turning Device TM

The HT-Roller is an inflatable device for lateral turning of patients who are unable or have a reduced capacity to assist in their own turning. The device comprises two chambers that are inflated with a small variable speed air supply. By eliminating the need for manual lifting, the HT-Roller protects both the staff from injury and the patient from friction and shearing associated with traditional repositioning methods.

Benefits of the HT-Roller Lateral Turning Device TM

• Turning chambers provide periodic pressure relief from bony prominences. • Adjustable positioning facilitates better access for hygiene and wound care applications. • Quick release valves allow for rapid deflation of turning chambers. • Breathable fabric prevents moisture build-up and enhances patient comfort. • Disposable device eliminates the need for reprocessing and reduces potential for cross contamination. • Variable speed air supply allows caregiver to control inflation for patient safety and comfort.

Instructions for Use 1. Ensure that the red valves are capped tightly before beginning inflation. 2. Place the deflated HT-Roller on the bed mattress. If the patient is already on the mattress, place the device under the patient by using a log-rolling technique. Ensure all side rails are up. Whatever the patient is lying on to keep the bed mattress clean can be placed on top of the HT-Roller. 3. Tuck the securing apron of the HT-Roller under the bed mattress to keep in place during use. 4. Locate the inflation valve that is positioned on the OPPOSITE side of the turn direction and place the Air Supply hose over the valve. Press the ADJUSTABLE button on the HoverTech HTAIR1200 keypad to initiate air flow. If necessary, press this button up to 3 more times to increase air flow and rate of inflation.

ADJUSTABLE Use for HT-Wedge and HoverApps 5. When the turn is complete, remove hose from valve and press the STANDBY button on the Air Supply keypad to stop air flow. Note: Chamber may not need to be fully inflated to achieve turn.

6. To deflate the HT-Roller, remove the red cap from the deflation valve. This will quickly deflate the positioning device. Make sure the patient is attended and stabilized during deflation.

Adjustable/ Pressure Setting

Transfer Speed High Standby

Transfer Speed Low

The Adjustable Keypad function has four different settings. Pressing the button once will result in the lowest inflation setting available. A second press of the button increases the air pressure and rate of inflation. Pressing the button a third time will again increase the rate of inflation. A fourth press of the button results in the highest inflation rate and air pressure available for HoverTech Accessories. The STANDBY button may be pressed at any time to cease all air flow. NOTE: The 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; it is only for use with HoverApps, which require a lower pressure for slow inflation. Standby: Used to stop inflation/air flow.

HoverMatt® 28/34: For use with 28" and 34" HoverMatt® Air Transfer Mattresses. HoverMatt® 39/50 and HoverJack®: For use with 39" and 50" HoverMatt® Air Transfer Mattresses and 32" and 39" HoverJack® Air Patient Lifts.
