INTRODUCTION
About the TheraKair Visio Mattress Replacement System
The TheraKair Visio™ Mattress Replacement System uniquely combines low air loss with a nylon
fabric with moisture vapor permeable backing and pulsation therapy to help provide the ideal
environment for the skin of the patient.
The TheraKair Visio MRS can reduce pressure, shear and friction through low air loss and
through the use of nylon fabric with moisture vapor permeable backing, enables skin moisture and
temperature to be managed. Pulsation therapy mimics the body's natural movements, encouraging

compared to a standard hospital bed mattress.
Reduced Heel Area Pressure
The cushions at the foot of the bed operate at a lower pressure level, which reduces heel area
interface pressures. The cushion corresponding to the heel of the patient may also be removed to
further reduce heel area pressure.
InstaFlate™Function
The system is programmed with an InstaFlate function. When this function is activated through the

existing mattress will raise the patient above the side rails of the bed, placing them at risk of falling
out of the bed or becoming trapped between the mattress and the side rails.
Transfer
Standard precautions should be taken during patient transfer.
Side Rails and Restraints
WARNING: Use or non-use of restraints, including side rails, can be critical to patient safety.
Serious or fatal injury can result from the use (potential entrapment) or non-use (potential patient
falls) of side rails or other restraints. See related Safety Information.

11
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.
Use With Other Devices
All TheraKair Visio MRS components are designed to be used as single system. The TheraKair
Visio Therapy Unit should only be used with the TheraKair Visio MRS. Any attempt to connect
and use the therapy unit with any other brand or model of mattress or overlay may result improper
operation of equipment, possibly leading to increased risk of patient injury.
Protection Against Hazards
Fluids
$YRLGVSLOOLQJÀXLGVRQDQ\SDUWRIWKHWKHUDS\XQLW
If spills do occur:
• Disconnect the unit from the main electricity supply
• &OHDQÀXLGVIURPWKHFDVH
Ensure that there is no moisture in or near the power inlet, power switch and power
plug before reconnecting the power supply.
• Check the operation of controls and other components in the area of the spill
• Perform applicable checkout procedures
Fluids remaining on the electronic controls can cause corrosion that may cause the
electronic components to fail. Component failures may cause the unit to operate
erratically, possibly producing potential hazards to patient and staff.
Prolonged contact with therapy unit may result in hazard to patient or caregiver.
Power Cable
The system should never be operated with a worn or damaged power cable. Should the power
cable
be found to be worn or damaged, contact your local Arjo subsidiary or agent for a replacement.
Safety Information
Patient Size and Weight
Maximum recommended patient weight is 135 kg
Minimum recommended patient weight is 23 kg
Maximum recommended patient height is 200 cm
Minimum recommended patient height is 137 cm

12
Air Intake
The air intakes for the TheraKair Visio Therapy Unit are at the rear and on the underside. To avoid
the risk of blocking these intakes, it is recommended that the unit should only be mounted on the
footboard of a bed frame. Should the bed not have a suitable footboard, it is recommended that
the unit is placed on a solid stationary surface.
Side Rails / Patient Restraints
Whether and how to use side rails or restraints is a decision that should be based on each
patient's needs and should be made by the patient and the patient's family, physician and
FDUHJLYHUVZLWKIDFLOLW\SURWRFROVLQPLQG&DUHJLYHUVVKRXOGDVVHVVULVNVDQGEHQH¿WVRIVLGH
rail / restraint use (including entrapment and patient falls from bed) in conjunction with individual
patient needs, and should discuss use or non-use with patient and / or family. Consider not only
the clinical and other needs of the patient but also the risks of fatal or serious injury from falling
out of bed and from patient entrapment in or around the side rails, restraints or other accessories.

patients frequently to guard against patient entrapment.
When selecting a standard mattress, ensure the distance between top of side rails (if
used) and top of mattress (without compression) is at least 8.66 in (220 mm) to help
prevent inadvertent bed exit or falls. Consider individual patient size, position (relative
to the top of the side rail) and patient condition in assessing fall risk.
Bed Frame
Always use a standard healthcare bed frame with safeguards or protocols that may be appropriate.
It is recommended that bed and side rails (if used) comply relative to the mattress to help minimize

maintained bed rails and mattress replacements can potentially produce gaps that might entrap a
patient’s head or body.
Bed Height
To minimize the risks of falls or injury the patient surface should always be in the lowest practical
position when the patient is unattended. Make sure area under and around bed frame is clear of
objects, persons and parts of body before adjusting height.
Brakes
Caster brakes should always be locked once the bed is in position. Verify wheels are locked before
any patient transfer to or from the bed.

13
Head of Bed Elevation
Keep head of bed as low as possible to help prevent patient migration.
Patient Entrance / Exit
Caregiver should always aid patient in exiting the bed. Make sure a capable patient knows how

Skin Care
Monitor skin conditions regularly and consider adjunct or alternative therapies for high acuity
patients.Give extra attention to any possible pressure points and locations where moisture
or incontinence may occur or collect. Early intervention may be essential to preventing skin
breakdown.

Therapy Unit
• Only use a grounded power receptacle and the power cable supplied with the TheraKair
Visio Therapy Unit. The power cable should be positioned to avoid a tripping hazard and
/ or damage to the cable. Arjo recommends placing the cable under the bed frame and
attaching it to a mains wall socket by the head of the bed. The system should never be
operated with a worn or damaged power cable. Should the power cable be found to be
worn or damaged, contact Arjo or an Arjo authorized representative for a replacement.

ratings could result in damage or injury.
• The therapy unit is a precision electronic product. Use care when handling or transporting.
Dropping or other sudden impacts may result in damage to the therapy unit.
• Do not open the therapy unit – risk of electrical shock. Do not attempt to repair or
service the therapy unit. Repairs and service should be conducted only by Arjo or an
Arjo authorized representative. If the therapy unit is not functioning properly or has been
damaged, unplug the unit and take it out of service immediately. Contact Arjo or an Arjo
authorized representative for repair and service information.
• Do not place any objects or items, such as blankets, on or over the therapy unit.
• The air intakes for theTheraKair Visio Therapy Unit are on the back of the unit. To avoid the
risk of blocking these intakes, it is recommended that the unit be mounted on the footboard
of a bed frame. Should the bed not have a suitable footboard, it is recommended that the
unit be placed on a solid stable surface.

14
