Intended Use and Precautions

INTENDED USE

The HoverMatt® T-Burg™ is intended for all surgical procedures where a patient may be placed in Trendelenburg (or Reverse Trendelenburg) up to 40 degrees, including with use of robotics. Patient transfer / repositioning
/ boosting can be facilitated before and / or after the procedure where the patient’s weight might place staff at risk for injury. The HoverMatt T-Burg is designed to securely hold a patient in varying degrees of Trendelenburg, up to 40 degrees.
The HoverTech Air Supply inflates the HoverMatt T-Burg to cushion and cradle the patient, while air simultaneously escapes from the holes on the underside, reducing the force needed to transfer and move a patient by 80-90% to a stretcher or hospital bed. This can ease the patient transfer from pre-op to the O.R. Table, and following the procedure from the O.R. Table to PACU.
The HoverMatt T-Burg is a highly breathable, open cell design that supports an ideal microclimate allowing the Mat to stay under a patient following surgery. It is recommended that the HoverCover™ Disposable Absorbent Cover (or equivalent) be placed under the patient after surgery if the Mat is soiled.

Part Identification – HT-Air® Air Supply

HT-Air® 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 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-assisteddevices 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.
