Therapy Pads
Many healthcare facilities are facing the challenge
of infection control. Joerns' quilted therapy pads are
treated with an antimicrobial to protect the therapy pad
from the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.
Key features and benefits:
• Treated with a highly effective bacteriostatic agent to
inhibit the growth of bacterial and fungus.
• Constructed from a very smooth nylon fabric with
low friction and shear properties to protect the
patient's skin from damage.
• Breathable, moisture vapor permeable fabric allows
air to circulate beneath the pad and wicks away
excess moisture. This keeps your patient dry and
helps to prevent skin maceration.
• Designed for optimal comfort, moisture vapor
transfer, stain resistance and ease of laundering.
Optional Accessories
• Additional therapy pads

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 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 1) 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.
