The ADJUSTABLE keypad function has four different settings.
Each press of the button increases the air pressure and rate
of inflation. The Green Flashing LED will indicate the inflation
speed by the number of flashes (i.e. two flashes equals the
second inflation speed).
STANDBY: Used to stop inflation/air flow (Amber LED indicates
STANDBY mode).
Instructions for Use
To Laterally Turn a Patient:
1. Ensure the red deflation valves are capped tightly before beginning
inflation.
2. Place the Q
2
Roller on the bed mattress, and center using the Center
Line Indictor.
3. Tuck the securing apron of the Q
2
Roller under the bed mattress
to keep it in place during use.
4. Center an absorbent pad on top of the Q
2
Roller (if the patient is
already on the mattress, place the device and pad under the patient
using a log-rolling technique).
5. With the patient centered on the device, ensure all bed/stretcher
rails are up, or follow your facility’s protocol.
6. Locate the inflation valve on the OPPOSITE side of the turn direction,
and place the air supply hose over the valve. Press the ADJUSTABLE
button on the HT-Air keypad to initiate air flow. If necessary, press this
button up to 2 more times to increase air flow and rate of inflation.
7. When the turn is complete, remove the hose from the valve and press
the STANDBY button on the air supply keypad to stop air flow. Cham-
ber may not need to be fully inflated to achieve desired position.
8. To quickly deflate the Q
2
Roller, remove the red cap from the deflation
valve. To slowly deflate or adjust the chamber, depress the center of
the black inflation valve.
To Use as a Post-Prone Positioning Device:
1. Follow steps 1-4 above.
2. Prepare the patient for proning.
3. Prone patient onto the Q2Roller and ensure patient is centered.
4. Inflate and adjust chambers to fully offload pressure and place patient
in proper prone position per your facility’s protocol.
To Sit a Patient Up on the Edge of the Bed:
Use a minimum of 2 caregivers. Use clinical judgement to determine if the patient is capable and ready to sit on the edge of the bed.
1. Follow steps 1-4 to laterally turning a patient.
2. With 1 caregiver on each side of the patient, fully inflate the chamber
on the opposite side of where patient will ultimately be seated to
completely turn the patient. Bend the patient’s knees for comfort.
3. Raise the head of the bed as high as it will go and lower the bed to
the floor so that the patient’s feet will touch the floor when seated at
the edge of the bed. Both caregivers can now attend to the patient
on the same side since the fully inflated chamber is supporting the
patient’s back.
4. One caregiver will assist with sliding the patient’s legs to the side of
the bed while the other is fully inflating the deflated chamber and
ensuring the patient does not slide off the edge of the bed.
5. Once the chamber is fully inflated and the patient is sitting upright,
stabilize the patient and then open the deflate valve. As the chamber
deflates, ensure the patient is still sitting upright. The leg caregiver
will continue to guide the legs to the edge of the bed as the chamber
is fully deflated. Stabilize the patient.
Warning: Do not use Q2Roller to prone.
Use other measures to prone patient -
For Post-Prone Positioning only.
