Arjo First Spet Select Quick Reference Manual

INTRODUCTION
The First Step ® Select Therapy System is a pressure relieving overlay or mattress
replacement system (MRS) designed to suspend the patient on a low air-loss support
surface, providing effective pressure redistribution and prevention and treatment of
pressure ulcers.
The support surface is constructed of a nylon fabric with moisture vapor permeable
backing. The overlay is divided into three sections: HEAD, BODY and LEG, each section
can be individually adjusted to meet patient specific needs. The therapy control unit
consists of a single variable speed blower with warmer to provide adjustable air tempera-
tures for patient comfort.
Indications
The First Step Select (FSS) Therapy System is indicated for patients who would benefit
from a pressure redistribution surface assisting in the prevention and treatment of
pressure ulcers (Stages I-IV).
Contraindications
Patient conditions for which the application of pressure redistributing therapy on the First
Step Select Therapy System are contraindicated include:
• Unstable spinal cord injury.
• Unstable vertebral fracture.
• Cervical traction.
Risks and Precautions
Transfer - Precaution should be taken during patient transfer, including the locking of
caster brakes and deflation of overlay surface. Refer to Patient Transfer sections in the
Patient Placement and Nursing Care chapters of the user manual.
Side Rails and Restraints - Use or non-use of restraints, including side rails, can be
critical to patient safety. WARNING: Serious or fatal injury can result from the use
(potential entrapment) or non-use (potential patient falls) of side rails or other restraints.
See related Safety Information.
Patient Migration - WARNING: As with all speciality bed products that are designed to
reduce shear and pressure 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.
Skeletal Traction or Unstable Fracture (if not contraindicated) - With skeletal traction,
unstable pelvic fractures or any other unstable fracture (to the extent not contraindicated),
maintain physician directed angle of articulation and guard against risks of patient
migration or inadvertent deflation of surface.
Oxygen Use - Danger: Risk of explosion if used in the presence of flammable anesthet-
ics. Use of this product's therapy control unit in an oxygen-enriched environment may
produce potential of fire hazard. This equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of
a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Position therapy control unit only at foot end of bed when using oxygen administering
equipment.
Electromagnetic Interference - Although this equipment conforms with the intent of the
directive 89 / 336 / EEC in relation to electromagnetic compatibility, all electrical
equipment may produce interference. If interference is suspected, move equipment away
from sensitive devices or contact the manufacturer.
Shock Hazard - Electrical shock hazard, do not remove cover. Refer to qualified service
personnel.
