Mandatory to read the Instructions for Use

1.Product Description
The AIRTECH äsystem is comprised of an air-filled
seat pad with an integrated pump unit and air-pressure
regulator (pressure-release valve), and a 2-way stretch
cover which is water resistant and vapor permeable.
Clinical Applications
Indications
for Use
lPatients/Users who have been assessed to be
up to medium risk of developing pressure
ulcers
lPatients/Users up to 280 lbs.
Contraindications lPatients/Users with existing pressure ulcers
around the seating area
lPatients/Users with poor sitting balance
+These indications are only guidelines and should not replace
clinical judgement or experience.
Instructions for Use
1. Insert the seat pad into the cover, ensuring that
the labeling (on the pump area of the seat pad)
faces upward and the pump is positioned at the
front of the cover. Leave the cover unzipped.
Do not use the seat pad without the specified
cover. The cover provides a protective barrier
which helps to prolong the life of the product.
Only use the cover supplied with the product,
as characteristics of the cover work in concert
with the pad to reduce pressures.

2. Position the cushion on the chair, with the
cover label facing upward and toward the front
edge of the seat. Ensure the pressure-release
valve is accessible.
Always use the cushion in the correct position
on the chair.
3. Inflate the cushion by hand by repeatedly
pressing down on the integral pump until the
cushion feels firm.
4. Patients/Users should then sit on the cushion.
5. Depress the top of the pressure-release valve
to release the air until it stops hissing. The
pressure-release valve works by allowing air to
escape to a pre-set pressure.

WARNING
The cover of this product is vapor permeable, but not
air permeable, and may present a suffocation risk. It is
the responsibility of the care giver to ensure that the
user can use this product safely.
WARNING
It is important to ensure that the cushion is correctly
inflated and that the patient/user does not ‘bottom out’
(i.e., remains supported by the cushion at all times and
not resting on the seat surface underneath).

6. Tuck the valve inside the cover, so that it is
held in position by the cleaning label. This will
ensure the valve is not on the sitting surface
of the cushion. Zip up the cover.
+It is advisable to perform a daily check of the cushion to ensure
optimal performance. This should be done by repeating steps 3
to 6.
Placing extra layers between the Patient/User and the cushion,
potentially reduces the benefits provided by the cushion and
should be avoided, or kept to a minimum.
As part of sensible Pressure Area Management, it is advisable to
avoid wearing clothing which is tight, or which may cause areas
of localized high pressure due to creases, seams, etc. Placing
objects in pockets should be avoided for the same reason.
Care and Cleaning
If the seat pad and/or its cover is soiled, wipe the surfaces with
a damp cloth using a mild detergent and warm water, then
wipe down using a solution of sodium dichlorocyanurate
(NaDCC) diluted to 1,000 ppm, or sodium hypochlorite
(NaOCL) diluted to 1,000 ppm (2 fl.oz of bleach per gallon of
water). Allow the items to air dry.
+The cover can be washed at maximum temperature 95°C (203° F) for
15 min.
The recommended wash temperature is 60°C (140° F) for 15 min.
5
CAUTION
lDo not use the seat cushion directly on the chair frame. Always use on top of
a standard chair cushion
lAvoid contact with sharp objects
lDo not immerse the seat pad in water
lDo not use as a flotation device
lDo not use a phenol-based cleaning solution
