PressureGuard Protocol should always be used as part of a comprehensive medically supervised care plan that includes appropriate repositioning, nutrition, and any necessary topical therapies or incontinence management. -
Page 5: Illustration Descriptions
Span-America’s proprietary use of non-collapsible “Air Diffusion Matrix” fabric in both the inner air delivery cover and the outer removable coverlet creates an open pathway beneath the user, helping eliminate excess moisture from the microclimate. Because neither the inner air delivery cover nor the outer removable coverlet allow fluids to penetrate the surface, maintenance is minimal. - Page 6 1. Outer Removable Coverlet: The blue-colored coverlet is fluid resistant, cleanable and flame resistant. It can be replaced if damaged or worn. Its smooth outer fabric is highly vapor permeable and its crush-resistant Air Diffusion Matrix fabric provides a pathway for efficient movement of moisture vapor away from the patient. Coverlet can be routinely wiped clean and disinfected in place, or can be removed and machine laundered according to directions in this manual.

Page 7: The Science Behind The Pressureguard Protocol Microclimate Management Design
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE PRESSUREGUARD PROTOCOL MICROCLIMATE MANAGEMENT DESIGN Protocol’s proprietary “Air Diffusion Matrix” design maximizes removal of excess moisture (i.e., perspiration) from the user’s skin. Moisture passes in vapor form down through the cover, where a continuous air current takes it away before it can re-form as liquid. The Air Diffusion Matrix fabric is not collapsible, ensuring a pathway for a constant flow of air beneath the patient. -
Page 8: Directions For Set-Up
DIRECTIONS FOR SET‐UP 1. Confirm that the bed frame is appropriate for use with the mattress, and that the length and width of the mattress are appropriate for the frame. Place directly on a healthcare bedframe only, never on top of another mattress. WARNING: The fit of the mattress to the bed frame is important. Minimizing spaces or gaps between the mattress and frame will help prevent patient entrapment issues. - Page 9 6. Ensure that the three air lines that extend from the mattress are protruding through the opening in the lower right corner of the blue coverlet. If necessary, the zipper at the underside of the coverlet can be unfastened in order to retrieve air lines. Once the air lines are protruding through the coverlet opening and the zipper is refastened, the air lines from the mattress can be connected to the air lines that extend from the control unit.

LOW PRESSURE: The “LOW PRESSURE” indicator light indicates that the air system is not reaching or maintaining its appropriate minimum setting. If light comes on, first check that all airlines are properly and securely connected and that they are not kinked. If light remains on 30 minutes after making these adjustments, call for service. -
Page 12: General Directions
Adjustment of comfort level setting may also be required. See “Comfort Setting”, above. BED RAILS: Due to concerns over the possibility of patient entrapment, Span-America recognizes that the use of rails of any length is a matter currently addressed by federal and state laws/guidelines, and by individual facility protocol. -
Page 13: Patient Transport
Multiple layering of linens or incontinence underpads beneath the patient should be avoided where possible for maximum pressure redistribution. SERVICE: Return the control unit for repair or service to Span-America Medical Systems. Repairs to be performed by manufacturer only. Call 800-888-6752, 8 am – 5 pm EST M-F. -
Page 14: Storage And Transportation
STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION Store the mattresses in a clean, dry place. Once the mattress is removed from the box, store in a flat position if possible. Protect from damage. Avoid temperature extremes (below freezing or above 120 F). Allow to acclimate to room temperature before use. Do no stack more than 10 high. Do not stack other equipment on top of the mattresses. -
Page 15: Waste Disposal
Note: alcohol-based disinfectants are not effective against C. difficile and should not be used to disinfect environmental services. For further information relative to this organism and infection control in the healthcare setting, please refer to www.cdc.gov/ncidod/hip. Do not puncture the mattress with needles or sharp instruments. This may result in loss of integrity of the mattress air system or top surface low air loss bladder and will void the warranty. -

6. Inspect the cover of the control panel to assure that the covering is not cracked or damaged, allowing liquids or other conductive material to penetrate to the switches. 7. Report any unusual sounds, burning odors, or anything unusual to maintenance personnel. Discontinue use of the power cord immediately and contact Span-America Medical Systems for replacement. MATTRESS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE Inspect the covers and zipper area for signs of damage, puncture, or wear that could result in fluid pass- through. - Page 17 Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration – electromagnetic emissions The 3400 is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below.
