This document should be saved in an easily accessible place for quick reference.
It is recommended that all sections of these instructions be read prior to product use. Carefully
review the Indications, Contraindications, Risks and Precautions and Safety Information prior
to placing a patient on the Skin IQ™ Microclimate Manager (MCM).
These instructions do not provide specific safety or operational information
for the pressure redistribution surface and / or bed frame provided by
the facility for use with the Skin IQ MCM. Consult product labeling for
information.
Caregivers should discuss Safety Information, Risks and Precautions and Contraindications
with the patient (or the patient’s legal guardians) and the patient’s family.
The Skin IQ MCM is a single patient use, disposable device that provides Negative Airflow
Technology (NAT) to manage the microclimate of the skin at the patient surface when fitted over a
customer-provided pressure redistribution surface.
It is also designed to reduce friction and improve patient comfort.
The Skin IQ MCM is suitable for use in acute and post acute facilities, is vapor permeable, and has a
fluid-resistant nylon taffeta cover.
Indications
The Skin IQ MCM is indicated for use in conjunction with a pressure redistribution surface in order
to aid in the prevention and treatment of skin breakdown and pressure ulcers (Stages I-IV) for
patients who require microclimate management of the skin.
Contraindications
Although Skin IQ MCM has no associated direct contraindications the caregiver should refer to and
follow any contraindications in the product labeling for the pressure redistribution surface and / or
bed frame being used with the Skin IQ MCM.

Compatibility
The Skin IQ MCM is designed to fit on a pressure redistribution surface that is 203.2 cm - 213.4 cm
(80 - 84 in) long by 88.9 cm - 91.4 cm (35 - 36 in) wide by 17.8 cm (7 in) high.
Consult product labeling for the pressure redistribution surface and / or bed frame for compatibility.
Risks and Precautions
Transfer
This product is not intended for use as a transfer device.
Duration of Use
Recommended duration of use for single patient is not more than 60 days for patients
< 172.37 kg (380 lb).
Duration of use for patients weighing 172.37 kg (380 lb) - 227 kg (500 lb) is not to exceed more
than 30 days.
However, patient specific duration of use may vary. Clinical conditions such as, but not limited to,
incontinence, skin condition, nutrition status, medications, mobility, weight, or etiology need to be
considered when assessing duration of use for the Skin IQ MCM.
Height
The Skin IQ MCM will increase the height of the pressure redistribution surface it is applied to by
approximately 6.35 mm (0.25 in).
Use With Other Devices
All Skin IQ MCM components are designed to be used as a single system device.
The included power supply should only be used with the Skin IQ MCM. The coverlet should only
be powered by the Skin IQ Power Supply ArjoHuntleigh part number 4103832.
Any attempt to connect and use the power supply with any other device,
or use any other brand or model of power supply other than ArjoHuntleigh
part number 4103832 will result in improper operation of equipment,
possibly leading to increased risk of patient injury.
Patient Migration
Specialty surfaces have different shear and support characteristics than conventional surfaces and
may increase the risk of patient movement, sinking and / or migration into hazardous positions
of entrapment and / or inadvertent bed exit. Monitor patients frequently to guard against patient
entrapment.
