Bed System Entrapment Information

Although essential in the practice of long-term care, bedside rails, 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 resident 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.

Introduction

The DermaFloat® LR, provided by Joerns Healthcare, is a unique, continuous bilateral rotation mattress replacement system. This system is designed to assist in the effective management of residents at risk from the complications of immobility while providing low air loss therapy. Low air loss therapy has been demonstrated to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers as well 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 headboard,  footboard, and bed or side rails. The equipment is NOT to be used when such gaps are present. See the “Important Precautions” section of this manual.

The DermaFloat LR mattress replacement system is suitable for both the treatment of existing pressure ulcers stage I through stage IV as well as those who have been assessed at risk from the complications of immobility. The DermaFloat LR is quiet, comfortable, and simple enough for single caregiver installation, featuring rapid inflation in just 15  minutes or less. The user- friendly controls allow for easy adjustment of resident comfort.

Additionally, low friction and low shear materials, together with average interface pressures well below capillary closure levels, means that the DermaFloat LR meets the comfort and clinical requirements of your residents up to 350 lbs.

We have ensured that the DermaFloat LR addresses the four key areas in the treatment of compromised skin: pressure relief, moisture control, and reduction in both friction and shearing forces.

Moisture Control
Residents are at risk for skin maceration if excess moisture is permitted to accumulate beneath the resident. This may be due to perspiration, incontinence or wound drainage.
On the DermaFloat LR, moisture is controlled via the specially treated breathable, fluid-proof, urethane-coated nylon therapy pad. The moisture vapor permeable fabric of the therapy pad allows a sufficient amount of air to circulate beneath the pad and wicks away excess moisture.

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 resident’s skin rubs against another surface, the result is friction. The top surface of the DermaFloat LR therapy pad is constructed from a very smooth nylon fabric with low friction and low shear properties to protect the resident’s skin from these damaging forces.

Indications for Use

Note: The selection of a pressure-relieving surface needs to be based on each individual resident’s clinical condition, diagnosis and/or co- morbidities. The choice and use of a  support surface is one factor in a holistic program of wound care and treatment.
Spinal Cord Injury
The DermaFloat LR is not recommended for use by residents with unstable spinal fractures. Advice should be obtained from the appropriate physician before using the  DermaFloat LR system for these residents.

Pressure Relief

Dermatology
Amputations

Pain Management

The DermaFloat® LR provides distribution of weight over a wide surface area, which relieves pressure against bony prominences and provides a soft, gentle therapy surface to lie on. For residents experiencing severe pain and discomfort due to pressure and/or positioning limitations, consider the DermaFloat LR as an adjunct to pain management interventions.
Note: Pressure relief and pain management are conditions and diagnoses for which the DermaFloat LR may be indicated. Occasionally, there are orthopedic and neurological residents that require body positioning to be maintained in a specific alignment. The use of the DermaFloat LR for these residents should be considered on an individual basis and discussed with the attending physician.

Features

The DermaFloat LR is comprised of two components:

• Therapy control unit
• Therapy mattress system

Therapy Control Unit Features

•  True low air loss with up to 100 liters of airflow per minute.
• Three modes of operation – Auto firm, Turn, and Static.
• Static mode (default) provides continuous low air loss pressure relief.
• Auto firm mode provides maximum air inflation designed to assist both residents and caregivers during resident transfer and treatment.
• The pause feature allows the caregiver to pause the mattress rotation at any point for resident emergencies or care.
• Automatic panel lockout to avoid unwanted or accidental adjustments.
• Nine therapeutic comfort control settings to maximize resident compliance and promote healing.
• A closed-loop pressure sensor control system eliminates concerns of changes in mattress interface pressure due to ambient temperature and pressure changes.
• The quick disconnect hose feature allows for rapid attach and CPR deflates at the control unit.
• The compact lightweight control unit is quiet, robust, and powerful, with a reusable air filter.
• Crisp, easy-to-read graphics for intuitive setup and therapy control.
• Integrated swing-out hanging brackets for affixing to most bed types.

Therapy Mattress System Features

• Twenty individual therapy cells help to evenly distribute the resident’s weight and maximize pressure relief. Modular cell design mattress for ease of cleaning, re-assembly, and cost-effective service.
• A lower two-inch therapy support cell provides additional therapeutic support and remains inflated for up to 12 hours in the event of a power failure.
• Eight-inch deep therapy cells are constructed of highly durable, polyurethane-coated nylon to provide adequate support and prevent “bottoming out” for most residents within the weight limit.
• Ten-inch safety side bolsters provide comfort and support for residents during the rotation cycle.
• Quilted therapy pad is vapor permeable, breathable, fluid-proof, and minimizes friction and shearing.
• Durable base tub is constructed from 100% heavyweight 1680 denier nylon with a 1.5 oz. urethane coating and incorporates bed attachment loops for stability.
• Supports up to 350 lbs. resident weight
• CPR deflation
• Anti-kink, easy clean air supply hose set

Therapy Pads
Many healthcare facilities are facing the challenge of infection control. Joerns quilted therapy covers are treated with an antimicrobial to protect the therapy pad itself from the growth of mold, mildew, and odor-causing bacteria.

Key features and benefits:

• Treated with a highly effective bacteriostat agent to inhibit the growth of bacterial and fungus.
• Constructed from a very smooth nylon fabric with low friction and low shear properties to protect the resident’s skin from damaging friction/shearing forces.
• Breathable, moisture vapor permeable fabric allows air to circulate beneath the pad and wicks away excess moisture. This keeps your resident dry and helps to prevent skin maceration.
• A two-way stretch therapy pad is designed for optimal comfort, moisture vapor transfer, stain resistance, and ease of laundering

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 the risk of fire. A qualified electrician should be contacted to correct the wiring and ensure a properly grounded outlet.

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 qualified electrician.

How to Determine if Your Outlet has the Proper Grounding
Most hardware stores sell circuit testers (Figure 2) 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.

Setup

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

Note: The DermaFloat LR system must be installed on bed frames that are equipped with side rails. Please raise side rails on the bed and lock them in position after the resident is on the mattress. Never leave resident unattended on mattress system with bedside rails in the down position.

When the product is not in use, properly store the power cord. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

• Remove the existing mattress from the bed.
• Place the DermaFloat LR mattress with the hose connection at the foot end of the bed and the therapy cells facing up. Secure the straps on the mattress securely to the movable part of the bed frame.
• If the therapy pad is not already on the mattress, place it on the mattress. Attach the elastic straps to the mattress buckles around each corner of the mattress. Attach the six  (6) additional straps to the movable part of the bed frame.
• Hang the control unit on the foot of the bed facing away from the bed. Attach the hose connector marked CPR to the control unit.
• Plugin the control unit and then press the Power key. The control unit will start and the Power light will illuminate.
• Allow up to a minute for full inflation. Place the resident on the mattress. Mattress can be inflated with residents on it but will take longer, depending on their weight/size.  Note: Keep the control unit on while the resident is on the mattress.
• Position the resident’s head in the position that the resident will be in for the largest portion of the day. If the resident is lying flat, please use three (3) fingers for the hand check. If the resident will be sitting up for the majority of the day, please use two (2) fingers.
• Perform a hand check by placing fingers locally under the resident’s buttocks between two cushions. The resident should not bottom out. If they do, increase the therapy control by one LED (light), until they no longer bottom out.
• The safety side bolsters cannot be inflated unless the CPR plug is installed. The plug is located on the hose assembly between the mattress and the control unit. Caution:  The safety side bolsters should always be inflated when a resident is unattended on the mattress and/or the mattress is in Turn mode.

Operation

Warning: For important precautions, please see page two.
Caution: The resident’s head should be positioned in the center of the top section of the mattress. When using the mattress system always ensure that the resident 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.

6. Select the Turn Cycle time by pressing the Turn Time button until the desired time period is illuminated.

Nursing Procedures

Recommended Linen:
Special linens are not necessary for the DermaFloat LR. There is no need for a bottom sheet as the therapy pad should be covering the therapy cells at all times.
The resident should never be lying directly on the therapy cells. Upon the resident’s specific needs, the following lines may be utilized:

• Draw or slide sheet to aid in positioning and to further, minimize friction and shearing
• Incontinence barrier pad for residents incontinent of urine and/or stool, and residents with heavily draining wounds
• Add top sheet, blanket, and/or bedspread as needed for resident comfort
• Keep the amount of padding between the resident and bed to a minimum for optimum performance

Changing the Therapy Pad

• Place the therapy pad over the therapy cells, fitting the corner of the cushions into the corner of the therapy pad. (Similar to a fitted sheet)
• Zip the therapy pad along each side of the mattress tub.

Resident Positioning and Comfort
General Repositioning

Residents should be turned and repositioned per individual turning schedule or per facility policy. It may be helpful to activate the Auto firm mode to achieve a firm surface for repositioning purposes. The unit will automatically return to the mode it was in prior to Auto firm in approximately 15 minutes or you can manually return to therapy mode once the resident has been repositioned.
Unless counter-indicated, it is desirable to keep the head of the bed in a low position to provide optimal pressure relief and minimize the risk of shearing injuries.

Elevating Resident into Sitting Position
The special properties of the DermaFloat® LR therapy pad reduce the opportunity for shear and friction that may occur when raising the head of other beds. As with any surface, sliding can be expected, therefore residents should be repositioned after elevation. The knee gatch or foot of the bed may be elevated first, to help prevent the resident from sliding when the head of the bed is elevated.

Incontinence
Moisture against the skin surface leads to maceration or softening of the tissues. To prevent maceration, it is recommended that an incontinence barrier pad be used to absorb excess moisture.
In the event of incontinence or excess drainage on the therapy pad, wipe off the excess fluid from the bed surface.

Safety Information
Resident Migration
Specialty bed products are designed to reduce/relieve pressure and the shearing/friction forces on the resident’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 resident migration or inadvertent deflation of resident surface.

Skin Care
Monitor skin conditions regularly, particularly in areas where incontinence and drainage occur or collect, and consider adjunct or alternative therapies for high acuity residents.  Early intervention may be essential to preventing serious skin breakdown.

Bed Height
To minimize the risks of falls or injury, the resident’s surface should always be in the lowest practical position when the resident is unattended. Make sure areas under and around the frame are clear of objects, persons, and parts of the body before adjusting the 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 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
Wipe off dust. If necessary, clean the housing exterior with a disinfectant solution or a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Then wipe dry.

General Cleaning

If there is no visible spoilage with possible body fluids, it is recommended that the mattress system be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water. If disinfection is desired, a  combination cleaner/disinfectant may be used as explained in “Disinfecting” area.

• Resident care equipment that does not come into contact with mucous membranes or non-contact skin, requires low-level disinfection. Wiping surfaces with a properly prepared detergent or disinfectant carries out low-level disinfecting.
• Processing of dirty resident 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.
• Wash hands often and well, including after the removal of gloves.
• Resident 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 and between residents, it is recommended that the unit and mattress be disinfected with a tuberculocidal disinfectant. Disinfectants 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 the label for correct use-dilution.
• With support surface deflated, thoroughly wipe down the entire mattress, as air cells will lie flat. Be sure to reach all areas underneath and in-between air cells. Allow airing to dry.
• If dust or other soiling has accumulated along with air hoses, remove using swabs moistened with detergent/disinfectant as necessary. Allow all components to air dry. Wrap mattress in plastic and return to the storage area.
• Thoroughly wipe down outside of control unit and allow to air dry. Cover with plastic and return to storage area
• Remove gloves and dispose of; wash hands.

Therapy Pad
The therapy pad can be wiped down with a disinfectant solution or a mild detergent with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, the therapy pad can be laundered in a washer and dryer  with warm water (no more than 120º Fahrenheit). A non-bleach detergent should be used sparingly. Wipe dry or allow to air dry.

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

Filter Cleaning
Check the air filter on the rear of the unit regularly for the buildup of dust/dirt. If buildup is visible, turn off the control unit and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.  Remove the filter by grasping the filter pulling outward. Replace with the second supplied filter. Ensure the replaced filter covers the entire filter region.

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

Maintenance
Warning: Only facility-authorized personnel trained by Joerns Healthcare should perform preventative maintenance. Preventative maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Any maintenance done without Joerns’s authorization will invalidate any warranties on this product.

Storage and Care
Note: Clean the DermaFloat LR as described in the previous section prior to storage.

Control Unit
The power cord may be wrapped around the unit for convenience. Wrap the unit in a plastic bag for dust resistance, then store the unit in an area appropriate for an electronic medical device.
