Bed System Entrapment Information

Although essential in the practice of long-term care, bedside assists, in recent years, have also been a subject of regulatory review and evolution in design and use. That focus includes not only the challenge of achieving an appropriate balance between patient security and unnecessary restraint, but also the additional safety issue of entrapment. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), working with our company and other industry representatives has addressed the potential danger of entrapment with new safety guidelines for medical beds. These guidelines recommend dimensional limits for critical gaps and spaces between bed system components. Entrapment zones involve the relationship of 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 specific bed model.

Creating a Safer Care Environment
While the guidelines apply to all healthcare settings, (hospitals, nursing homes, and at home), long-term care facilities have particular exposure since serious entrapment events typically involve frail, elderly, or dementia patients.

Introduction

The P.R.O. Matt® Plus, provided by Joerns Healthcare, is a convertible, dynamic pressure reducing mattress replacement system. Pressure redistribution and alternating pressure therapy have been demonstrated to reduce the risk of pressure injuries and as being a valuable aid in the treatment of pressure injuries.
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.
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 inflation devices and features a four-zone inner air core that automatically adjusts to meet the needs of each patient based on body profile 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 P.R.O. Matt Plus addresses key areas in the treatment of compromised skin, including pressure redistribution and reduction in both friction and shearing forces.

Pressure Redistribution
P.R.O. Matt Plus is a convertible dynamic pressure redistribution mattress system that has three modes of operation: non-powered, alternating pressure, and powered (static therapy). The alternating and powered (static therapy) modes require the use of an optional control unit. 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, P.R.O. Matt Plus functions as a dynamic pressure redistribution mattress. The alternating mode provides active pressure redistribution by alternating pressure between adjacent therapy cells. Maximum pressure redistribution is achieved through the delivery of a specific amount of air to each therapy cell, which distributes the patient’s weight evenly over a wide surface area providing a favorable interface pressure profile.

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 P.R.O. Matt® 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 Injuries Rehabilitation
Neurology Dermatology
Burns Amputations

The selection of a pressure redistribution surface should be based on each individual patient’s clinical condition or diagnosis and co-morbidities. The P.R.O. Matt® Plus provides average pressure readings well below capillary closure levels and allows for adequate perfusion to promote healing. In the non-powered mode, the P.R.O. Matt Plus design allows the provision of optimal interface pressures through controlled air cell inflation for at-risk patients in the prevention and treatment of Stage 1 and 2 pressure injuries and treatment of uncomplicated Stage 3 and 4 injuries in patients with multiple turning surfaces. For Stage 3 and/or Stage 4 treatment, care staff should be able to position the patient off of the pressure wound in at least 2 positions. In the powered alternating pressure mode, the P.R.O. Matt Plus adds the benefit of cyclic offloading for advanced treatment of uncomplicated Stage 3 or 4 pressure injuries for patients where such therapy may improve pressure redistribution and circulation. In all cases, Joerns clinical indications are guidelines and should be taken only as recommendations for consideration during individual patient assessment by the clinician.

Pain Management
AIDS Arthritis
Oncology
The P.R.O. Matt Plus provides uniform distribution of weight over a wide surface area, which redistributes pressure over bony prominences providing a comfortable, soft, gentle therapy surface to lie on. For patients experiencing severe pain and discomfort due to pressure and/or positioning limitations, consider the P.R.O. Matt Plus as an adjunct to pain management interventions.
Note: The above are conditions and diagnoses for which the P.R.O. Matt Plus may be indicated. Occasionally, there are orthopedic and neurological patients that require body positioning to be maintained in specific alignment. The P.R.O. Matt Plus has safety features and an inner therapy core to prevent deflation of the therapy cells and to keep your patients in flotation at all times. However, in the event of a puncture or malfunction, the therapy cells may deflate and may not provide the necessary alignment. The use of the P.R.O. Matt Plus for these patients should be considered on an individual basis and discussed with the attending physician.

Intended Users
The Mattress System is intended for use by those who are youth to geriatric. The control unit should not be operated by the patient.

Setup

Warning: For important precautions, see page two.
Caution: Do not place the control unit on the floor. Position the power cord to keep personnel from tripping over it.

Remove the existing mattress from the bed.
Place the P.R.O. Matt® Plus mattress with the logo at the foot end of the bed.
Allow the mattress to sit for five to ten minutes so that the P.R.O. Technology® valve can adjust the pressure in any internal cells that may have deflated during storage or shipment.
Place the patient on the mattress.
Connect the control unit if powered therapy is preferred. Set the preferred mode of operation and comfort setting.
It is recommended that you periodically remove the patient from the mattress for five to ten minutes so the P.R.O. Technology valve can re-inflate cells that have lost air through natural diffusion.
If the therapy is changed from powered to non-powered mode, be sure to disconnect the hoses from the mattress connection so that the non-powered mode can function properly.

Operation
Warning: For important precautions, see page two.
Warning: 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 confines of the bed. Do not let any extremities protrude over the side or between the bed rails when the mattress is being used.

Non-Powered Mode

The P.R.O. Matt Plus in its non-powered mode is a dynamic pressure redistribution mattress replacement system consisting of four zones: the head, shoulder, torso, and foot. The head zone remains static and the shoulder, torso, and foot zones 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 throughout each zone. 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. Over a period of time the air in the therapy cells will naturally diffuse and the cells will deflate when a patient is lying on the mattress. The P.R.O. Technology requires regular opportunities to recalibrate the therapy cells, as the air in the cells will naturally diffuse over time and the cells will deflate as the patientlies on the mattress. Time off the mattress, such as that during normal activities of daily living, as well as standard patient turning and repositioning schedules and protocols, allows the system to fully engage the P.R.O. Technology to recalibrate the air in the therapy cells.

Powered Modes
Patient Comfort Controls and Monitoring
The P.R.O. Matt® Plus converts to an alternating pressure redistribution system when connected to a control unit.

Power Button
Power button is used to turn the power on and off.

Standby Light
The Standby light illuminates when the unit is initially plugged in, indicating power is available. If the unit is turned off by pressing the Power button, the Standby light re-illuminates. If the Standby light illuminates without a caregiver pressing the Power button, it indicates that there has been a power interruption and the therapy control unit is ready to be turned back on. Press the Power button and reset the preferred mode of therapy and comfort level.

Autofirm
Autofirm mode provides maximum air inflation designed to assist both patients and caregivers during patient transfer and treatment. Pressing the Autofirm button will illuminate the On light. The unit will automatically return to the mode it was in prior to Autofirm in approximately 15 minutes.

Control Unit

The control unit has two therapy modes: Static and Alternate. The Mode button is used to place the control unit in one of the desired modes of operation.

Static: The Static light is illuminated when in Static mode. This mode should be used along with the Comfort Adjust buttons to increase or decrease the general firmness of the P.R.O. Matt Plus mattress.
Alternate: The Alternate light is illuminated when in the Alternate mode. The pressure automatically alternates between adjacent cells. The alternate frequency is carried out at preset time intervals set by the Cycle Time button.
Cycle Time
When the unit is placed in Alternate mode, the five-minute time light illuminates and the mattress therapy cells will alternate in pressure on a five-minute cycle. The cycle times can be adjusted to 5, 10, 15, and 20-minute intervals by pressing the Cycle Time button.
Comfort Adjust
The Comfort Adjust buttons are located on the right of the control panel. Use the plus and minus buttons to increase or decrease general firmness in the mattress.
Lockout/Silence
The unit is designed to lockout all the adjustment controls after the patient has been positioned correctly. Approximately five minutes after the last button is pushed, the Lockout is enabled, and the Lock light will illuminate. This feature is to prevent any unauthorized changes to the patient settings. To unlock and make adjustments to the settings, press and hold the Lockout/Silence button. Lockout mode will return after approximately five minutes of inactivity. The audible warning can be temporarily muted by pressing the Lockout/Silence button on the front panel – audible warning will be muted for 20 minutes.

Low Pressure Indicator
The Low Pressure light will illuminate and an audible warning will occur 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.

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. Alternatively, to maintain pump function during a power outage, an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) may be used. The pump will return to its normal operation when power is resumed.

Mattress Connection

The control unit features a detachable hose set that attaches 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 .
Disconnect the hose set by pressing down and pulling the left and right connectors.
Repeat with the middle connector to fully disconnect the mattress from the control unit .

Note: If the control unit is not powered for a long period of time, the connector should be disconnected from the P.R.O. Matt Plus mattress and the control unit should be stored (see “Storage and Care” section in this manual).

Transport/Return to Non-Powered Operation

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

Disconnecting the hose set will allow pressurized air to vent from the internal cells. In the non-powered state, the mattress will once again function as a dynamic pressure redistribution system.
After transport, if powered therapy is desired, reconnect hoses and system power according to setup instructions.

Troubleshooting

P.R.O. Matt® Plus surface is not alternating or increasing in pressure:

Ensure the hose connection from the therapy mattress system (mattress) to the control unit is securely connected.
Verify that the control unit is in the Alternating mode.
Ensure that the control unit is plugged into an AC outlet.
Ensure that the Power light is illuminated.
Please contact Joerns Healthcare at 800.826.0270 if problem persists.

Nursing Procedures
To ensure the system is operating correctly, the mattress and control unit should be checked during patient repositioning, scheduled per facility protocol.

Recommended Linen
Based upon the patient’s specific needs, the following may be utilized:

Draw or slide sheet to aid in positioning and to further minimize friction and shearing
Incontinence barrier pad for urine and/or stool and patients with heavily draining wounds
Top sheet, blanket, and/or bedspread as needed for patient comfort
Minimal padding between the patient and the surface to provide optimum performance

Patient Positioning and Comfort

General Repositioning
Patients should be turned and repositioned per an individual turning schedule or per facility policy. If it is not contraindicated, it is desirable to keep the back section of the bed in the flat position to provide optimal pressure redistribution and minimize the risk of shearing injuries.

Elevating Patient into Sitting Position
The special properties of the P.R.O. Matt Plus reduce the opportunity for shear and friction that may occur when raising the back section of other beds systems. As with any surface, sliding can be expected; therefore, patients should be repositioned after elevation. The knee gatch or knee section of the bed may be elevated first 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 P.R.O. Matt 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 fluid from the bed surface.

Safety Information

Patient Migration
Specialty bed products are designed to redistribute pressure and reduce 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 deflation of patient surface.

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.

General Cleaning
The P.R.O. Matt® Plus system should be routinely decontaminated between patients and at regular intervals while in use for infection control. If there is no visible soil age with possible body fluids, 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 the “Disinfecting” section in this manual.

Patient care equipment that does not come in direct contact with the patient requires only low-level disinfection. Wiping surfaces with a properly prepared detergent/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.
Patient care equipment that is used in isolation areas should be disinfected in accordance with all internal policies and procedures regarding such equipment.

Disinfecting
When there is visible soilage, remove it and clean the area prior to disinfecting. Clean and disinfect the product between patient uses. We recommend that you disinfect the unit and mattress 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
Thoroughly wipe down entire mattress
Remove gloves and dispose; wash hands

Filter Replacement
When using an optional control unit, check the air filter on the side of the unit periodically for buildup of dust/dirt. If buildup is visible, turn off the control unit and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. To access the filter, first remove the filter cover, and then remove the filter. Replace with a new filter. Ensure the filter covers the entire filter region after replacement. Reinstall the filter cover.

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.

Control Unit Cleaning
