Intended Use and Precautions
INTENDED USE
The Evacuation HoverJack® Device is used to transport patients up or
down stairs in the event of an emergency. The Evacuation HoverJack can
also be used to lift a patient in supine position from the floor to bed or
stretcher height, utilizing the HoverTech Air Supply to inflate each of the
four chambers.
INDICATIONS
• Patients unable to assist in their own vertical lift or evacuation, such as
after a fall or in an emergency situation.
• Patients whose weight or girth poses a potential health risk for the
caregivers responsible for lifting or moving said patients.
• CPR compatible when fully inflated.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Patients who are experiencing thoracic, cervical or lumbar fractures
that are deemed unstable should not use the Evacuation HoverJack
unless a clinical decision has been made by your facility.
INTENDED CARE SETTINGS
• Hospitals, long term or extended care facilities.
PRECAUTIONS
• Make sure patient safety straps are secured before moving. Do not
secure before inflation.
• Move the Evacuation HoverJack using the transport straps and/or the
transport handles located along the top perimeter.
• Never use patient safety straps to pull the Evacuation HoverJack, as
they may tear.
• When moving a patient on the inflated Evacuation HoverJack, use
caution and move slowly.
• Additional caregivers are recommended when moving or evacuating a
patient over 350 lbs./159 kg.
• Never attempt to move a patient on an uninflated Evacuation
HoverJack.
• Never leave a 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.
WARNING/CAUTION
• Always use a minimum of two caregivers while inflating/transporting
the Evacuation HoverJack.
• A minimum of three caregivers is required for stairwell evacuation.
• One caregiver should remain on the side of the patient during
inflation with the second caregiver managing inflation. If available, a
third caregiver should attend to the other side of the patient.
• Reference product-specific user manuals for additional operating
instructions.
PRECAUTIONS
 HOVERTECH INTERNATIONAL AIR SUPPLY

Evacuation HoverJack® Instructions for Use as an Air Patient Lift
1. Place Evacuation HoverJack® on the floor next to the patient, making
sure the chamber with Valve #4 is on the top and the chamber with
Valve #1 is against the floor.
2. Make certain that all four red-capped deflation valves are capped
tightly or Universal Valves are closed BEFORE INFLATING.
3. Log roll patient onto the deflated Evacuation HoverJack, and position
patient with feet at the valve end where indicated. Alternatively, the
patient can be placed on top of the Evacuation HoverJack using the
HoverMatt® Air Transfer System (see HoverMatt manual for instructions).
If the HoverMatt is used, make certain that the HoverMatt and patient
are properly centered on the Evacuation HoverJack. Always deflate the
HoverMatt prior to inflating the Evacuation HoverJack.
4. Always use a minimum of two caregivers while using the Evacuation
HoverJack during inflation/transport.
5. One caregiver should remain on the side of the patient during
inflation with the second caregiver managing inflation. If available, a
third caregiver should attend to the other side of the patient.
6. Plug the HoverTech International Air Supply power cord into an
electrical outlet.
7. Caregiver at foot end turns on HoverTech International Air Supply to
initiate air flow.
8. To begin inflation hold hose against valve #1 of Evacuation HoverJack
(valve closest to the floor).
9. When fully inflated, remove hose. Chamber remains inflated.
10. Secure patient safety straps.
11. Using the same process: move to valve #2, valve #3 and valve #4
in exact succession, or until Evacuation HoverJack reaches desired
height.
12. Turn o HoverTech International Air Supply, and attach valve caps, if
desired and applicable.
13. Move Evacuation HoverJack to desired location.
14. If transferring from the Evacuation HoverJack onto an adjacent surface,
unbuckle patient safety straps.
15. If it is necessary to lower patient, slowly open the uppermost valve.
When chamber is fully deflated, move in succession downwards to
fully deflate. Depress center button for slower deflation.
CHAMBERS MUST BE FULLY INFLATED TO ENSURE STABILITY.
DO NOT RELEASE MULTIPLE CHAMBERS AT ONCE WHEN
LOWERING A PATIENT.
Evacuation HoverJack® Instructions for Use as an Evacuation Device
1. To inflate, follow steps 1-11 of instructions for use as an air patient lift.
2. Unzip foot pouch and position Evacuation HoverJack as close as
possible to adjacent surface.
3. Transfer patient from bed or stretcher onto Evacuation HoverJack.
4. Ensure that the patient’s body is centered, and zip foot pouch.
5. If necessary, inflate the head-end wedge.
6. Using the buckles, secure safety straps over the patient and adjust
until taut.
7. Using foot end transport straps and handles located around the
perimeter of the Evacuation HoverJack, pull patient to the nearest
stairwell, and position the Evacuation HoverJack so the patient can be
taken down the stairs feet first.
8. Before descending the stairs, chambers 3 and 4 must be fully
deflated. To release air, slowly open valve #4. When chamber #4 is
fully deflated, repeat the process for chamber #3. DO NOT RELEASE
MULTIPLE CHAMBERS AT ONCE.
9. Retighten patient safety straps after deflating chamber #3 and #4 to
ensure patient is secure.
10. Caregiver at head end will control evacuation using head end
transport straps. Caregiver at head end should be physically stronger.
11. While 2 caregivers hold the head end transport straps and handles,
the footend caregiver will begin to pull the patient down the stairs
with the foot end transport strap. The Teflon-infused bottom material
will allow the Evacuation HoverJack to slide down each flight. If
necessary, the footend caregiver can use their thigh to brace the
Evacuation HoverJack and slow the descent. Once at ground level,
move the patient to safety.
ENSURE THAT PATIENT REMAINS CENTERED ON THE
EVACUATION HOVERJACK, AND THAT THEIR HEAD DOES
NOT SLUMP FORWARD AND RESTRICT BREATHING DURING
EVACUATION.
A MINIMUM OF THREE CAREGIVERS (TWO AT HEADEND AND
ONE AT FOOTEND) SHOULD BE USED TO EVACUATE PATIENT
DOWN STAIRS).

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
lower than the HoverMatt and HoverJack settings. The
ADJUSTABLE function is not to be used for transferring.
The ADJUSTABLE setting is a safety feature that can be used
to ensure the patient is centered on HoverTech air-assisted
devices and to gradually accustom a patient who is timid or in
pain to both the sound and functionality of the inflated devices.
STANDBY: Used to stop inflation/air flow (Amber LED indicates
STANDBY mode).
HOVERMATT 28/34: For use with 28" & 34" HoverMatts and
