Intended Use and Precautions

The HT-Air® 1200 Air Supply provides six airflow options to inflate HoverTech’s air-assisted transfer, lift, and positioning devices.

INTENDED CARE SETTINGS

Hospitals, long-term or extended care facilities

INTENDED USE

The caregiver/operator is the person handling the equipment.
The patient is not the intended operator.

CAUTIONS

Route the power cord in a manner to ensure freedom from hazard.
Avoid blocking the air intakes of the air supply.
Never leave patient unattended on an inflated device.
Use this product only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Only use attachments and/or accessories that are authorized by HoverTech International.
When using the air supply in the MRI environment, a 25-ft. specialty MRI hose is required (available for purchase).
Avoid electric shock. Do not open air supply.
Reference product specific user manuals for operating instructions.
Warning: To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply main with protective earth.

Warning: The HT-Air is not intended for use with the HoverJack Battery Cart.

Part Identification

CAUTION

NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS.
Only qualified service personnel shall perform repairs on the HoverTech International Air Supply.

Air Supply Keypad Functions

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.
- 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.

Cleaning & Maintenance

In between patient use, clean the air supply by wiping it down with hospital- grade disinfectant wipes. For best results, follow the wipe manufacturer’s recommended dwell time and instructions for use. Using disinfectant wipes may degrade the graphics on the control panel over time. Replacement panels can be purchased directly from HoverTech International, if necessary.

NOTE: Do not spray any cleaners/liquids directly on the air supply.

NOTE

CHECK YOUR LOCAL/STATE/FEDERAL/INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES BEFORE DISPOSAL.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Prior to use, a visual inspection should be performed on the HoverTech International Air Supply to ensure the power cord is not frayed or nicked and that there is no visual damage that would render the air supply unusable. If any damage is found that would cause the air supply not to function as intended, the air supply should be removed from use and returned to HoverTech International for repair.

The air supply has air filters on either side of the motor. These filters can be accessed by removing the small screws holding the filter covers in place. It is recommended that the air filter be cleaned monthly, or according to the facility’s preventative maintenance schedule. Remove the filter from the air supply and hold it under warm running water. The filter must air dry completely before being placed back into the air supply.

The filter should be replaced when it is clogged with debris that does not break free when it is washed. The filter should also be replaced if it begins to lose its shape or deteriorate. Filters should always be replaced after use with an airborne isolation patient. Annual replacement is recommended for the filters that don’t need to be replaced due to the aforementioned conditions.

INFECTION CONTROL

If the HT-Air 1200 is used in a patient room where isolation protocols are being observed, the hospital should employ the same protocols/procedures it utilizes for other equipment used in that patient room. An air hose cover is recommended when using the air supply with an isolation patient. These covers are disposable and come in a box of 25 (Model #ASHC).

| 3 Vrms 150 KHz to 80 MHz| | Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the HTAIR1200 including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.

Conducted RF IEC 61000-4-6

80MHz to 2,5 GHz

| 3 V/m| d = 2,3 √P 800MHz to 2,5 GHz

Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in metres (m).

Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, a should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range.b

| | | Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:

NOTE1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the HTAIR1200 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the HTAIR1200 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the HTAIR1200.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the HTAIR1200

The HTAIR1200 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the HTAIR1200 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the HTAIR1200 as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance (d) in metres (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where (p) is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.

NOTE1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
