INTENDED USE: A pressure management system used for the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries. INDICATIONS FOR USE: The PressureGuard Easy Air LR is a unique powered, flotation therapy mattress providing 1) a pressure management surface for the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries, and 2) low air loss for the removal of excess perspiration and body heat.
2. Never operate the product’s powered control unit if it has a damaged cord or plug, is not working properly, has been dropped or damaged, or has been exposed to water. Contact Span-America Medical Systems, Inc. for examination and repair.
Close-up illustrations of the outer removable coverlet and the inner air-delivery cover, and an explanation of the science behind the design are found on page 10. Illustration of individual parts of the PressureGuard Easy Air LR: 1. Outer Removable Coverlet 2. Inner Air Delivery Cover 3.

ILLUSTRATION DESCRIPTIONS The outer coverlet is fluid proof, cleanable and flame resistant. It can be replaced if damaged or worn. The coverlet is highly vapor permeable 1. Outer (4500 grams/meter /24 hours) and fluid-resistant. Both of its fabrics Removable (smooth top fabric and the crush-proof air diffusion matrix fabric) are Coverlet: bacteriostatic.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND EASY AIR LR MICROCLIMATE MANAGEMENT DESIGN Easy Air’s exclusive “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.
MATTRESS AND CONTROL UNIT SET-UP DIRECTIONS 1. Place the mattress on a standard hospital bed frame with the outer coverlet facing up, and the connector access at the foot-end of the bed, to the patient's right. Note that the connector access is on the inner gray top surface air delivery cover, which should also be facing up, under the purple coverlet.

Do not cover the power cord with a rug or carpet. Rugs or carpets can prevent normal air flow, which can lead to greater heat built-up. Place the cord in a low or no traffic area. Check to be sure the motion of the bed does not interfere with the bed’s power cord or plug.

- Support Cylinder Air lines: The small diameter air lines deliver air flow to the support cylinders inside the mattress. Four fittings are mounted into one connection plate. Position fittings and click connectors into place on appropriate location on side of control unit. Verify secure connection with “click”...
ELECTROMAGNETIC OR OTHER INTERFERENCE This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Store control unit in a clean, dry place, protected from accidental damage or falls. Avoid temperature extremes (below freezing or above 49 Celsius). Do not stack other equipment on top of the control unit. For transportation, secure to prevent damage or falls.
Where surveillance and epidemiology indicate ongoing transmission of C. difficile, an EPA registered hypochlorite-based disinfectant is recommended. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use concentrations, contact times and rinsing. Generic sources of hypochlorite (e.g. household chlorine bleach) may also be used. Prepare the disinfection solution fresh daily at a 1:10 dilution.
For cleaning, use neutral suds and lukewarm water. For disinfection, phenolic or quaternary type disinfectants are recommended. Disinfectants should be hospital grade (tuberculocidal). Follow manufacturer’s instructions for concentrations and contact times. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE FILTER MAINTENANCE • The control unit contains a high-volume air blower that requires filtered air for proper operation.
3. Wash filter using mild soap and water. Pat dry with towel. NOTE: If filter is damaged or cannot be easily cleaned, it should be discarded and replaced with a new filter, Span-America part number P11362. 4. Put the filter back into position in the control unit.
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, Inc. for replacement. MATTRESS Inspect the covers and zipper area for signs of damage, puncture, or wear that could result in fluid pass-through.
