General Protocols
• Avoid contact of sharp instruments with the Skin IQ 365. Punctures, cuts and tears will prevent proper
operation.
• Follow all applicable safety rules and institution protocols concerning patient and caregiver safety.
• The Skin IQ 365 can be removed or placed on a bed while the bed is occupied. This can be
accomplished by clinical personnel using a common method usually referred to as the "Log Roll", in order
to change soiled linens of immobile patients. At least two clinical attendants can roll the patient to one
side of the bed and then placed, folded or rolled, directly behind the patient's back. The patient is then
rolled over to the Skin IQ 365 applied side. The remainder of the Skin IQ 365 can now be applied to the
newly unoccupied side of the bed. When nished, the patient can be rolled back on to the center of the
bed.
Unpacking and Inspection

• Coverlet with instructions for use (included in complete kit or coverlet only)
• Power supply (included in complete kit or available as a separate item)
• Fan assembly (included in complete kit or available as a separate item)
Inspect all items carefully. If any items are damaged or missing, contact Arjo or an Arjo authorized

Installation
Failure to properly secure the coverlet to the existing surface may lead to patient or user
injury or equipment damage.
1.
Remove coverlet, fan assembly and power supply from shipping bag.
2.
Remove all covers and sheets from the existing pressure redistribution surface.
3.
Place the coverlet on top of the existing surface, ensuring the foot tag on the coverlet is at the foot
end of the bed. The blue colored layer is the patient contact surface and should be the visible outside
layer when the coverlet is placed on the mattress. For pressure redistribution surfaces with a CPR
feature, make sure the CPR is visible. (See Fig. 1)
4.
The power supply should come connected to the fan assembly. If not, plug power supply into fan
assembly.
5.
The power supply comes with adapters speci c to the type of plug used in the country. Identify the
proper adapter and then insert adapter into the power supply and rotate clockwise until adapter
clicks. To remove adapter, depress button on adapter and rotate counterclockwise.
6.
Locate fan assembly port underneath the foot end of the coverlet. Snap fan assembly into round red
fan port on coverlet. Rotate fan as necessary to achieve the correct nal fan positioning. (See Fig. 2)
Vents should be aligned so that fan exhaust is vented down and to the sides of the coverlet.
