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 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.
Operation
Warning: For important safeguards, see page two.
Caution: The patient's head should be positioned in
the center of the top section of the mattress. When
using the mattress system always ensure that the
patient 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.
Non-Powered Mode
The ProCair
Plus in its non-powered mode is a
®
dynamic pressure distribution mattress replacement
system consisting of three zones: shoulder, torso
and foot. The shoulder, torso and foot areas are
connected to the P.R.O. Technology valve that allows
air to automatically be drawn into the cells in order to
provide the optimal amount of support for each area.
Based on the average patient's body weight
distribution, the volume of air in each of these zones
was developed to provide the precise amount of air/
foam mix to ensure optimal clinical outcomes, with
average pressure readings well below capillary closure
levels (32mm of Mercury).
Over a period of time the air in the therapy cells will
naturally diffuse and the cells will deflate. If no control
unit is used, it is recommended that the patient be
removed from the mattress periodically to allow the
compressed cells to automatically re-expand to their
natural state without the need of an external power
system.
