3.2 System Installation - Continued
DabirAIR Micropressure Overlays
DabirAIR Overlays are intended to provide alternating support relief with reduced skin shear. Additional layers such
as moisture barriers, incontinence pads, etc. may be used, but should be kept to a single layer only. Additional bulk
or non-stretch layers placed between the covering bottom sheet and patient should be avoided.
DabirAIR Microclimate Overlays
DabirAIR Microclimate Overlays operate under the same principle as the DabirAIR Micropressure Overlays described
above, but require micro air flow between the patient and cover sheet to effectively remove excess heat and mois
-
ture. Any additional layers added must be air permeable to assure proper performance. Placement of moisture
barriers between the patient and cover sheet will impede air flow and reduce, or negate, Dabir’s microclimate
effectiveness.
Pneumatic Controller and Hose Assembly Installation
1. Place
Pneumatic Controller in a safe, out of the way location, approximately three (3) feet away from
the bed or support surface, less than six (6) feet from a power outlet, and in a place where the user
has easy access to the control panel for operation.
CAUTION:
To ensure proper device grounding, do not use an extension cord with this device.
The Power Cord should be plugged directly into an acceptable wall power outlet.
2.
Route Power Cord and Hose Assembly such that it does not present a trip hazard.
3.
Using the supplied tie-straps, secure Hose Assembly to a fixed or stable structure.
(See image below for recommended securing method.)
CAUTION:
If Pneumatic Controller is dropped during use with noticeable damage, please remove from
service and contact the manufacturer for appropriate action.
CAUTION:
Ensure Hose Assembly is properly secured to prevent trip hazard and potential
damage to the device. The Hose Assembly should not be bent, kinked or constrained in such a
manner that might restrict air flow.
CAUTION:
Caregiver should not touch the patient and the Hose Assembly at the same time.
