SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

 WARNING

SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe

operation and use of this product.

Contraindications

ALWAYS consult the patient’s physician before using the MicroAIR 3500S system. Certain

medical conditions preclude use of a low air loss mattress replacement system. e.g.,

unstable spinal cord, traction, etc.

Installation

The MicroAIR 3500S MUST be installed on medical bed frames with side rails. The side

rails MUST be in the raised position whenever a patient is on the bed.

Controls on the footboard may be obstructed by the power unit on a few bed frames. It

may be necessary to relocate the power unit.

Check that air hoses and power cord are clear of moving bed components before placing

a patient on the bed. Operate all bed frame motorized functions through their full range

of motion to verify there is no pulling, interference, or pinching.

The therapy pad is essential for skin moisture control. DO NOT place a patient directly

on the mattress without a therapy pad. The therapy pad protects the mattress

components from contamination.

The MicroAIR 3500S has enough power to produce excess mattress firmness for small

patients. The range switch should be set to the appropriate range for the patient. Refer to

Range Switch on page 12.

DO NOT strap the mattress to the bed frame at the head and foot ends. Secure ALL

mattress straps. Secure the straps to the bed deck at the head and foot ends and to the

frame at the center of the bed. Otherwise damage to the mattress will occur when the head

and foot ends are raised.

Servicing

The air filter element and mattress assembly are the only user-serviceable parts. DO NOT

open the power unit. Refer all repair questions to Invacare Technical Service Department.

The system MUST be maintained, inspected and tested according to the schedule in the

maintenance section of this manual to deliver consistent performance. If your system

requires factory service, contact Customer Service for a Return Authorization number

(RA). Package systems in the original shipping box. Clean all system components before

shipment.

UNSANITARY SYSTEMS WILL BE RETURNED WITHOUT SERVICING.

Entrapment May Occur

 WARNING

Proper patient assessment and monitoring, and proper maintenance and use of

equipment is required to reduce the risk of entrapment. Variations in bed rail

dimensions, and mattress thickness, size or density could increase the risk of

entrapment. Visit the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov to learn about the risks of

entrapment. Review “A Guide to Bed Safety”, published by the Hospital Bed Safety

Workgroup, located at www.invacare.com. Use the link located under each bed rail

product entry to access this bed safety guide.

Refer to the owner’s manuals for beds and rails for additional product and safety

information.

After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching

hardware is tightened securely. Assist rails with dimensions different from the

original equipment supplied or specified by the bed manufacturer may not be

interchangeable and may result in entrapment or other injury.

Mattress MUST fit bed frame and assist rails snugly to reduce the risk of

entrapment.

Part No 9692006 17 MicroAIR®3500S

System Operation

 WARNING

After placing the patient, make certain no objects will fall under the patient, such as

feeding tubes, IV’s etc.

Use a regular pillow to help support and stabilize the patient’s head. Make sure the

patient’s limbs assume natural positions without pinching. Use pillows, foam or

sheepskin appliances as required to cushion potential body to body contact areas.

When elevating the head of the bed, elevate the knee section first. The therapy pad

is slippery to minimize skin friction. Head elevation without knee elevation may

cause the patient to slide toward the foot of the bed.

DO NOT leave a patient unattended while in AUTO FIRM mode. Otherwise, the

patient might roll off the mattress and injury may occur.

The head of the bed should be maintained at the lowest degree of elevation consis-

tent with medical conditions (AHCPR Pub. 92-0047, P.24). The lowest skin pressure

is maintained with 0° to 20° head raise angle. Angles above 30° place more body

weight over the seat area, reducing pressure relief. Instruct the care-giver to avoid

head angles over 30° for extended periods, unless medically necessary (US Depart-

ment of Health and Human Services publication No. 92-0048).

1. Press the Power button to start the power unit.

NOTE: The mattress will start to fill slowly.

2. Press the Auto Firm button to inflate the mattress to maximum pressure for patient

transfer.

NOTE: A timer will cancel AUTO FIRM in 30 minutes.

3. Check patient weight.

4. Do one of the following:

• If patient weight is between 0-180 lbs, set the Range switch (inside the filter door)

to LOW range.

• If patient weight is between 150 - 350 lbs, set the Range switch to HIGH range (the

blower runs faster when you switch the toggle to HIGH).

5. Adjust Pressure Control Knob fully clockwise.

6. Push the Therapy button to turn Off AUTO FIRM.

7. Position the patient onto the mattress. Refer to Positioning the Patient on the Mattress

on page 18.

NOTE: The foot air sack section will inflate slowly.

NOTE: If the mattress does not inflate, refer to the Troubleshooting on page 24.

SECTION 3—OPERATION

MicroAIR®3500S 18 Part No 9692006

Positioning the Patient on the Mattress

1. Place the patient on the mattress.

2. Ensure the patient’s feet are towards the end of the mattress with the power unit.

3. Center the patient on the mattress from side-to-side and head-to-foot.

NOTE: Use a regular pillow under the head for comfort and to control head position. Special

positioning may be required with contracted patients to provide comfortable positions.

4. Gradually turn the control knob (counterclockwise) every three minutes until

approximately 3-inches of the patients body is immersed into the mattress top surface.

NOTE: The goal is to achieve flotation of the

body for minimum skin contact pressure.

5. After stabilization, reach in under the

patients body until the hand is directly

below the spinal area.

6. Place the heel of the hand on the mat

assembly (FIGURE 3.4 on page 16)

between the first and second air sacks

and raise the thumb. If the patient is too

high, the thumb will not touch the

patient’s body. If the patient is too low,

you will not be able to raise the thumb.

SECTION 4—MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

MicroAIR®3500S 20 Part No 9692006

SECTION 4—MAINTENANCE AND

TROUBLESHOOTING

Setting Up the MicroAIR Systems

The MicroAIR 3500S systems are made patient-ready at the dealership before delivery to

the installation site. The mattress is pre-assembled and the power unit has been tested and

serviced.

Ask the caregiver or nursing staff what isolation precautions are required when

performing adjustments with the patient on the bed. Typically, if protective clothing is

required, the institution will provide it to aid healthcare workers.

Recommended Cleaning Materials

CAUTION

DO NOT use chlorine based cleaners; otherwise, product damage may occur.

Disinfectant chemicals should be registered, hospital-grade, and have effectiveness

claims for destroying or inactivating harmful microorganisms. Use only in the

manufacturer's recommended dilution. NEVER mix different chemicals together in the

same container.

Phenolic disinfectants are supplied in highly concentrated form. They are tuberculocidal

when used at the recommended dilution. They provide a high level of disinfection. They

are also effective in decontaminating blood spills.

Quaternary cleaner disinfectants are supplied in highly concentrated form. They are

usually capable of cleaning, deodorizing and disinfecting in a single operation. They are

especially suitable for cleaning equipment at the patient site where low level disinfecting

or odor control is indicated.

Laundry disinfectant presoaks can be either phenol or quaternary chemicals. These

products are suitable for adding to water as a presoak.

For lighter soil, the cover can be cleaned by topical wipe down with a PH balanced soap

and water solution normally used to wash the patient. Rinse with water.
