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

WARNING: The HT-Air is not compatible with DC power supplies. The HT-Air is not for use with the HoverJack Battery Cart.

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. STANDBY: Used to stop inflation/air flow (Amber LED indicates STANDBY mode).

HOVERMATT 28/34: For use with 28" & 34" HoverMatts and HoverSlings.

HOVERMATT 39/50 & HOVERJACK: For use with 39" & 50" HoverMatts and HoverSlings and 32" & 39" HoverJacks.

Air200G/Air400G Air Supplies If using HoverTech’s Air200G or Air400G Air Supplies, press the grey button on the top of the canister to initiate air flow. Press the button again to stop air flow.

User Manual Instructions for Use 1. Place the HoverJack on the floor next to the patient, making sure the chamber with valve #4 is on the top and the chamber with valve #1 is against the floor. 2. Make certain that all four red-capped deflation valves are capped tightly. 3. Log roll patient onto the deflated HoverJack, and position patient with feet at the valve end where indicated. 4. The patient can be placed on top of the HoverJack using the HoverMatt® Air Transfer System (see HoverMatt manual for instructions). If the HoverMatt is used, make certain that the HoverMatt and patient are properly centered on the HoverJack. Always deflate the HoverMatt prior to inflating the HoverJack. Ensure a caregiver is positioned at each side of patient at all times.

8. When fully inflated, remove hose. Valve will automatically close, keeping the chamber inflated. CHAMBERS MUST BE FULLY INFLATED TO ENSURE STABILITY. 9. Using the same process: move to valve #2, valve #3 and valve #4 in exact succession, or until the HoverJack reaches desired height. 10. Secure patient safety straps. 11. Turn off HoverTech International Air Supply, and attach valve caps, if desired. 12. Move HoverJack to desired location. 13. If transferring patient from the HoverJack onto an adjacent surface, unbuckle patient safety straps.

5. Plug HoverTech International Air Supply power cord into an electrical outlet.

14. If it is necessary to lower the patient, release air by opening the uppermost red deflate valve #4. When chamber #4 is fully deflated, move in succession downward to fully deflate HoverJack.

6. Caregiver at foot end turns on HoverTech International Air Supply to initiate air flow.

WARNING: DO NOT RELEASE MULTIPLE CHAMBERS AT ONCE.

7. To begin inflation, hold hose against inlet valve #1 of HoverJack. (valve closest to the floor)

Cleaning & Maintenance OPTION 1 - HOVERJACK CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

In between patient uses, the HoverJack should be wiped down with a cleaning solution used by your hospital for medical equipment disinfection. A 10:1 bleach solution (10 parts water: one part bleach) or disinfectant wipes can also be used. NOTE: Cleaning with bleach solution may discolor fabric.

• All deflation valves are equipped with a red cap.

First remove any visible soil, then clean the area according to the cleaning product manufacturer’s recommended dwell time and level of saturation. A gentle scrub brush can also be used on the affected area, if necessary, to help penetrate the HoverJack material.

• Transfer handles are all attached.

OPTION 2 - WASHING THE HOVERJACK 1. Ensure HoverJack is completely inflated and all red and clear caps are on tightly. 2. Using soap and water (maximum water temperature 160° F) and a scrub brush, gently scrub the soiled HoverJack to remove all bioburden.

The HoverJack should be periodically inspected to ensure the following:

• The red caps are intact. • All patient safety straps are attached. • All buckles and zippers (if applicable) are intact and operational. • Inlet valves are all self-sealing with no evident leakage. • There are no punctures or tears.

AIR SUPPLY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE See air supply manual for reference. NOTE: CHECK YOUR LOCAL/STATE/FEDERAL/INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES BEFORE DISPOSAL.

3. Fully rinse the HoverJack - NOTE: Allow as little water as possible to hit the end with the caps on it. 4. Stand HoverJack on end, valves down to drain as much water as possible. Leave in this position to allow to dry completely before storing. WARNING: DO NOT LAUNDER THE HOVERJACK IN A WASHING MACHINE.
