Bed System Entrapment Information
Although essential in the practice of long-term care,
bedside rails, in recent years, have also been a
subject of regulatory review and evolution in design
and use.
That focus includes not only the challenge of achieving
an appropriate balance between resident security and
unnecessary restraint, but also the additional safety
issue of entrapment.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
working with our company and other industry
representatives has addressed the potential danger
of entrapment with new safety guidelines for medical
beds. These guidelines recommend dimensional limits
for critical gaps and spaces between bed system
components.
Entrapment zones involve the relationship of
components often directly assembled by the
healthcare facility rather than the manufacturer.
Therefore, compliance is the responsibility of the
facility.
As the leading manufacturer of long-term care beds
and a frontrunner in addressing this critical issue,
Joerns Healthcare can offer you the expertise,
assistance and products to bring your facility into
compliance.
Joerns Compliance Solutions
Matching the right bed components in order to meet
regulatory guidelines can be complex.
That is why Joerns offers a wide array of compliance
options. We assist customers in selecting compliant
accessories recommended for their specic bed
model.
Creating a Safer Care Environment
While the guidelines apply to all healthcare settings
(hospitals and nursing homes), long-term care facilities
have particular exposure since serious entrapment
events typically involve frail, elderly or dementia
patients.

Indications for Use
Note: The selection of a mattress overlay needs to be
based on each individual patient’s clinical condition,
diagnosis and/or co-morbidities. The choice and use of
a mattress overlay is one factor in a holistic program of
wound care and treatment.
The ClimateCare microclimate management system
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
for patients who require microclimate management of
the skin.
Spinal Cord Injury
The ClimateCare is not recommended for use by
patients with unstable spinal fractures. Advice should
be obtained from the appropriate physician before
using the ClimateCare system for these patients.
Note: Refer to and follow any contraindications in the
product labeling for the pressure redistribution surface
and/or bed frame being used with the ClimateCare.
Features
The ClimateCare is comprised of three components:
• Therapy control unit
• Mattress overlay
• Power supply and cord
Therapy Control Unit Features
• Compact lightweight and portable control unit is
quiet, robust and powerful.
• Specially designed enclosure for low noise and
durability.
• Reusable control unit that can be cleaned between
patients.
Introduction
The ClimateCare, provided by Joerns Healthcare, is
a unique therapy system that provides microclimate
management. When used in conjunction with a
pressure redistribution mattress, ClimateCare is
designed to address the root causes of tissue
breakdown through the management of temperature
and moisture (microclimate) at the interface between
the patient and the surface.
Warning: The risk of entrapment can arise when
equipment is placed on bed frames that leave gaps
of even a few inches between the mattress and the
headboard, footboard, and bed or side rails. The
equipment is NOT to be used when such gaps are
present. See “Important Precautions” section of this
manual.
The ClimateCare microclimate management system
is suitable for both the treatment of existing pressure
ulcers as well as those who have been assessed
at risk from the complications of immobility. The
ClimateCare is quiet, comfortable and simple enough
for single caregiver installation.
Additionally, low friction and low shear materials,
together with a high rate of moisture vapor transfer,
means that the ClimateCare meets the comfort and
clinical requirements of your patients up to 1000 lbs.
We have ensured that the ClimateCare addresses
the key areas in the treatment of compromised skin:
microclimate management, and reduction in both
friction and shearing forces.
Shear and Friction Reduction
Shearing occurs when the skin is stationary in relation
to the support surface, while the underlying tissues
and vessels are stretched and damaged. When a
patient’s skin rubs against another surface, the result
is friction. The top surface of the ClimateCare overlay
is constructed from a very smooth nylon fabric with low
friction and shear properties to protect the patient’s
skin from these damaging forces.

bed frame manufacturers’ specied load capacity.
Mattress Overlay Features
• Disposable, single patient use overlay.
• Constructed from a very smooth nylon fabric with
low friction and shear properties to protect the
patient’s skin from damage.
• Coverlet incorporates mattress attachment loops
for stability.
• Maximum weight capacity of 1000 lbs.*
• Coverlet is constructed with latex free materials.
• Breathable, moisture vapor permeable fabric allows
air to circulate within the overlay and wicks away
excess moisture. This keeps your patient dry and
helps to prevent skin maceration.
• Designed for optimal comfort, moisture vapor
transfer, and ease of use.
Power Cord
Only use a grounded power outlet and the power cord
supplied with the ClimateCare power supply.
Warning: Use a properly grounded outlet for this
product. Failure to use a grounded outlet could result
in personal injury or damage to equipment or house
wiring, including risk of re. A qualied electrician
should be contacted to correct the wiring and ensure a
properly grounded outlet.
Position the power cord to avoid a tripping hazard
and/or damage to the cord. Should the power cord
become worn or damaged, immediately discontinue
use of the ClimateCare and contact Joerns Healthcare
to order a replacement.
General Protocol
Avoid contact of the ClimateCare overlay with sharp
objects and instruments. Cuts, tears, or punctures in
the coverlet will prevent proper operation. Prior to each

Cleaning
Warning: Unplug the control unit from its power
source. Failure to do so could result in personal injury
or equipment damage.
Warning: Do not expose the unit to excessive
moisture that would allow for liquid pooling. Personal
injury or equipment damage could occur.
Caution: Do not use harsh cleansers/detergents, such
as scouring pads and heavy-duty grease removers, or
solvents, such as acetone. Equipment damage could
occur.
Control Unit
Wipe off dust. If necessary, clean the housing exterior
with a disinfectant solution or a mild detergent and a
damp cloth. Then wipe dry.
Coverlet
During patient use, we recommend that you clean the
ClimateCare coverlet with a mild detergent and warm
water. Do not machine wash the coverlet. Replace the
coverlet every 60 days and/or between patients.
Nursing Procedures
Recommended Linen:
Special linens are not necessary for the ClimateCare.
There is no need for a bottom sheet.
Based upon the patient’s specic needs, the following
linens may be utilized:
• Draw or slide sheet to aid in positioning and to
further minimize friction and shearing
• Incontinence barrier pad for patients incontinent of
urine and/or stool, and patients with heavily draining
wounds
• Add top sheet, blanket and/or bedspread as needed
for patient comfort
• Keep the amount of padding between the patient
and bed to a minimum for optimum performance
Note: The use of layers between the patient and the
coverlet may reduce the moisture vapor transmission
rate of the ClimateCare overlay.

Changing the Coverlet
The coverlet is a 60-day single patient use product.
The control unit, power supply, and power cord
are reusable.
1. Unplug power cord from wall outlet.
2. Unplug power supply from control unit.
Caution: The cord features a locking connector.
Disconnect the cord by pulling on the locking
connector. Failure to do so may result in damage
to the cord.
3. Remove control unit from coverlet.
4. Dispose of the coverlet per approved facility
procedures.
5. Clean the control unit as described in the Cleaning
section.
6. Reassemble the control unit with a new coverlet
as described in the Setup section.
Patient Positioning and Comfort
General Repositioning
Patients should be turned and repositioned per
individual turning schedule or per facility policy.
Unless contraindicated, it is desirable to keep the
head of the bed in the low position to provide optimal
pressure relief and minimize the risk of shearing
injuries.
Incontinence
Moisture against the skin surface leads to maceration,
or softening of the tissues. In the event of incontinence
or excess drainage on the therapy pad, you should
wipe off the excess uid from the bed surface to
prevent maceration.
Safety Information
Patient Migration
Specialty bed products are designed to provide
pressure redistribution and relief from the shearing and
friction forces on the patient’s skin. The risk of gradual
movement and/or sinking into hazardous positions
of entrapment and/or inadvertent bed exit may be
increased due to the nature of these products.
Traction
With any traction or unstable fractures, maintain
physician- directed angle of articulation and guard
against risks of patient migration or inadvertent
deation of patient surface.
Skin Care
Monitor skin conditions regularly, particularly in areas
where incontinence and drainage occur or collect,
and consider adjunct or alternative therapies for high
acuity patients. Early intervention may be essential to
preventing serious skin breakdown.
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
areas under and around the frame are clear of objects,
persons and parts of body before adjusting height.
Storage and Care
When the product is not in use, properly store the
power cord and power supply. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury.
Note: Clean the ClimateCare control unit as described
in the Cleaning section prior to storage.
Control Unit
The power cord and power supply may be wrapped
around the unit for convenience. Wrap the unit in a
plastic bag for dust resistance then store the unit in an
area appropriate for an electronic medical device.
Coverlet
Unused coverlets may be stored in the original
packaging.
Note: The coverlet is a single patient use product.
Dispose of used coverlet per approved facility
procedures. Only unused coverlets should be placed
in storage.
Electromagnetic Immunity
Electromagnetic Immunity is always relative and
standards are based on anticipated environments of
usage. If the user notes unusual device behavior, this
could be an indication of electromagnetic interference.
If such behavior is observed it may be associated
with the nearby usage of radio or tv transmitters, cell
phones, electro-surgical equipment, etc. and the user
should try moving the interfering equipment further
from this device.

a Field strengths from xed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land
mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically
with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to xed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site
survey should be considered. If the measured eld strength in the location in which the Auto Vector Fluid Immersion
Simulator is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Auto Vector Fluid Immersion Simulator
should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be
necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Auto Vector Fluid Immersion Simulator.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, eld strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
