PROS™ Air User Manual
Intended Use and Precautions
INTENDED USE
The HoverMatt® PROS™ (Patient Repositioning O-Loading System) Air, is
used to assist caregivers with patient positioning (including boosting and
turning), lateral transfers, and proning using air. By providing pressure
relief of bony prominences to aide with Q2, reducing shear and friction
when repositioning, and enhancing microclimate management, the system
provides a solution to safely turn and reposition patients while reducing
caregiver strain.
The HoverTech Air Supply inflates the PROS Air to cushion and cradle the
patient, while air simultaneously escapes from the holes on the underside,
reducing the force needed to move the patient by 80-90%.
INDICATIONS
• Patients unable to assist in their own repositioning (including turning
and boosting) and lateral transfers.
• Patients that need Q2 turning for o-loading pressure.
• Patients that need to be placed in prone position.
• Patients whose weight or girth poses a potential health risk for the
caregivers responsible for repositioning or laterally transferring said
patients
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Do not use with patients over the weight limit of 1200lbs.
• Do not use with patients who are experiencing thoracic, cervical or
lumbar fractures that are deemed unstable unless a clinical decision
has been made by your facility.
INTENDED CARE SETTINGS
• Hospitals, long term or extended care facilities.
PRECAUTIONS  PROS AIR
• Caregivers must verify that all brakes have been engaged prior to
transfer.
• Use a minimum of two caregivers during lateral patient transfers.
• For in-bed positioning tasks, more than one caregiver may be needed.
• Never leave patient unattended on an inflated device.
• Use this product only for its intended purpose as described in this
manual.
• Only use attachments and/or accessories that are authorized by
HoverTech International.
• When transferring or positioning on a low air loss mattress, set the bed
mattress air flow to the highest level for a firm surface.
If there is any indication of damage, remove the PROS Air
from service and discard.
Side rails must be raised with one caregiver.
PRECAUTIONS  AIR SUPPLY
• Not for use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or in a hyperbaric
chamber or oxygen tent.
• Route the power cord in a manner to ensure freedom from hazard.
• Avoid blocking the air intakes of the air supply.
• When using the PROS Air in the MRI environment, a 25 ft. specialty
MRI hose is required (available for purchase).
Reference product specific user manuals for
operating instructions.
Avoid electric shock. Do not open air supply.
In the OR – To prevent patient from slipping, always deflate the
HoverMatt and secure the patient and HoverMatt to the OR table
prior to moving the table into an angled position.

ADJUSTABLE: For use with HoverTech air-assisted positioning
devices. There are four dierent 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).
All of the settings in the ADJUSTABLE range are substantially

REPOSITIONING/WEDGE PLACEMENT CONTINUED
2. Hygiene Turn, HoverCover™ Replacement, Wedge Placement (air turn)
a. With a caregiver on each side of the patient, fully inflate PROS Air.
Slide the patient in the opposite direction of the turn, slide them
as close to the edge of the bed as possible to ensure that when the
patient is repositioned, they will be centered on the bed.
b. To turn the patient on their side, the caregiver furthest from the
patient will gently push down on the PROS Air at the patient’s
shoulder and hip, while the turning caregiver gently pulls up on
the handles. Once the patient is turned on their side, the caregiver
receiving will stay with the patient while the turning caregiver
presses the STANDBY button to stop air flow.
c. If replacing the HoverCover or performing a hygiene turn, the
opposite caregiver will brace the patient on their side while the
turning caregiver will release the handles and hold onto the
patient’s hip and shoulder to stabilize the patient.
d. While the patient is turned, hygiene can be performed and
HoverCover removed and replaced.
e. Repeat on the other side before placing wedges.
f. Insert the tail of the wedge just under the patient’s thighs. Ensure
the back part of the wedge is elevated until the position is set, then
lower the wedge down to secure in place with the HoldFast™ foam.
g. Place the standard wedge to support the patient’s back about 1
hand width away from the tailed wedge. Ensure the back part
of the wedge is elevated until the position is set, then lower the
wedge down to secure in place with the HoldFast foam.
h. Return patient to supine position.
i. Pull the tail through to the other side of the patient to anchor the wedge.
j. After wedges are placed, make sure the sacrum is not touching
the bed (floating). If it is, reposition wedges to ensure sacral o-
loading
3. Wedge Placement with a Ceiling or Portable Lift (Single Caregiver)
a. Raise the side rails on the opposite side of the bed the patient
will be turned toward. Ensure the patient is centered and slide
the patient in the opposite direction of the turn using either the
sling to lift or a manual technique. This will allow the patient to be
centered on the bed when repositioned on the wedges.
b. Attach the shoulder and hip turning straps of the PROS Air to the
hanger bar which should be parallel to the bed. Raise the lift to
initiate the turn.
c. Insert the tail of the wedge just under the patient’s thighs. Ensure
the back part of the wedge is elevated until the position is set, then
lower the wedge down to secure in place with the HoldFast foam.
d. Place the standard wedge to support the patient’s back about 1
hand’s width away from the tailed wedge. Ensure the back part
of the wedge is elevated until the position is set, then lower the
wedge down to secure in place with the HoldFast foam.
e. After the wedges are placed, lower the patient onto the wedges,
ensure straps are not underneath the PROS Air.
f. Pull the tail through to the patient’s other side until taught. Check
wedge placement by placing your hand between the wedges,
confirming the sacrum is not touching the bed. If it is, reposition

7. Turn o air supply and employ the bed/stretcher rails.
8. Remove connecting straps from pockets and loosely attach to solid
points on bed frame if transferring back to bed.
NOTE: For use with patients of size, two air supplies may be used for
inflation.
PRONE
1. Ensure brakes are locked. Multiple caregivers will be needed for this
task.
2. Be sure patient is centered on the product prior to movement.
3. Inflate the PROS Air. Slide patient over to one side of the bed to
ensure room for the turn.
4. Place another HoverCover, positioning devices or pillows, and PROS

Cleaning and Preventive Maintenance
PROS AIR CLEANING
If soiled, the PROS Air may be wiped down with disinfectant wipes or a
cleaning solution used by your hospital for medical equipment disinfec-
tion. A 10:1 bleach solution (10 parts water: one part bleach) may also be
used.
NOTE: Cleaning with bleach solution may discolor fabric.
To help keep the PROS Air clean, HoverTech International recommends the
use of the HoverCover™ Disposable Absorbent Cover. Whatever the patient
is lying on to keep the hospital bed clean may also be placed on top of the
PROS Air.
The Single-Patient Use PROS Air is not intended to be laundered.
AIR SUPPLY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
See air supply manual for reference.
NOTE: CHECK YOUR LOCAL/STATE/FEDERAL/INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES
BEFORE DISPOSAL.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Prior to use, a visual inspection should be performed on the PROS Air to
ensure that there is no visible damage that would render the PROS Air un-
usable. The PROS Air should have all of its straps and handles (reference the
manual for all appropriate parts). If any damage is found that would cause
the system not to function as intended, the PROS Air should be removed
from use and discarded.
INFECTION CONTROL
The Single-Patient Use PROS Air eliminates the possibility of cross-contami-
nation and the need for laundering.
If the PROS Air is used for an isolation patient, the hospital should employ
the same protocols/procedures it utilizes for the bed mattress and/or for
linens in that patient room.
