OPERATION
Before operating the Entree Bath, familiarize yourself with the
key features of the tub outlined in the drawings supplied with
these instructions (Video provided in the tub kit and viewable
on MasterCare website).
1. If Aromatherapy is desired, place selected scent sachet or
canister in the Aromatherapy holder and securely close the
access cap prior to turning on BathAire(SM). (See Aromatherapy
Section in this manual)
CAUTION: Do NOT remove beads from sachet. Never
place liquids in the Aromatherapy sachet holder.
2. Turn On The BathAire(SM) by pushing in on the BathAire(SM) On/Off
Touch Pad located on the lower left side deck of the tub. This will
warm up the environment inside the tub. You can increase or
decrease the air flow by pushing down on the plus (+) or minus (-)
section of the touch pad.
3. Place Individual into Entree Bath:
The Entree Bath operator must be trained by qualified facility
personnel. Recommended manufacturers procedures must be
utilized before they can be allowed to operate the Entree Bath
system. Refer to provided Video.
Verify door is in the fully opened position. Position the security
belt attached to the security belt knob on top of the tub deck and
move it out of the way. Position the comfort pad group as follows:
two rectangular pads parallel about three to four inches apart,
centered in the individual seating area and one rectangular pad
horizontally on the seat back at approximately the lumbar area of
the individual (see Aromatherapy, Comfort Pad and Belting
Procedures section)Transfer the individual onto the Entree Bath
seat using appropriate ergonomic transfer techniques or with a
modern lift/transfer device per facility protocol (Refer to section
Adjusting Entree Tub for Lift/Transfer Device section in this
manual)Make sure the individual's feet are positioned in the
center of the foot well.
The grab bar is intended for transferring, NOT for load bearing.
Use the grab bar only for stabilizing, NOT standing. Make sure
the individual's feet and hands are clear of all areas where the
door meets the outside tub surface during the closing procedure.
Never let a bather stand in the foot well!
4. Secure the Individual:
Secure the security belt firmly around the individual's chest by
inserting the security belt knob located behind the individual's
back through the appropriate hole at each end of the belt. Adjust
the belt and comfort pads as necessary for the individual's security
and comfort (see Aromatherapy, Comfort Pad and Belting
Procedures section, in this manual).

5. Tub Fill Procedures:
Push down on the Close button until the door is fully closed and
stops on its own. You will no longer hear the motor and the seal
will be compressed.
CAUTION: Prior to closing the door, ensure NO materials
I.E. towels, band aids, etc. are trapped between door and
tub. Make sure the door comes to a complete stop to
properly seal the tub. Failure to do so may result in leaks.
First, bring the water temperature up to normal bath temperature
by placing the shower wand inside the bath, turned toward the
side wall, away from the bather. Turn on the Shower Spray Valve.
Run the water until it reaches the desired temperature between
96°F to 105°F. Adjust as needed by turning the Mixing Valve
usually between hot or cold side. Turn off the Shower Wand Flow
Control Valve and replace the Shower Wand. Close the drain and
slowly turn the Tub Fill Control Valve knob counterclockwise to
open and test the water temperature again with your hand to
make sure it is safe and comfortable for the individual. Check the
temperature of the water with LCD Thermometer. Adjust water
temperature following the above instructions if needed. Fill tub 2-
4” below bottom of overflow or 1” below door seal or to the
bathers comfort; this allows for resident movement and
BathAire(SM) action. Add a minimum of ¼ oz of MasterCare’s Bath
Oil to the water from the Dispensing bottle. This will help reduce
foaming from soap, shampoo, etc.
CAUTION: If there is water in the tub, the drain sensors
will not let the Door Switch be activated. This will
prevent accidental opening of the door when the tub is
full of water. If an emergency should arise, press and
hold the emergency button and the door open button
at the same time. (please refer to the Foot End Control
section)
6. Bathing Procedures:
During the normal bath cycle, you can shampoo the individual’s
hair and wash their body with MasterCare’s specially formulated
Shampoo and Body Wash. Bathe or assist the individual with their
hygiene needs. To rinse, lift the Shower Wand from its holder,
located on the tub deck, then direct the nozzle towards the open
water in the tub. Turn the Shower Wand on by turning the Shower
Spray Control Valve counter clockwise to full open. Adjust the
shower water temperature to the desired individual comfort level
using the Gen II Mixing Valve. Test the water temperature on your
wrist before showering the individual. Turn off Shower Spray
Control Valve when complete by turning knob clockwise. Return
Shower Wand to its holder.
The temperature of the bath water must
never exceed 110oF. If you are unable to
adjust to the normal level of 96oF to 105oF,
remove the individual and report the problem
to maintenance. DO NOT use bath until the
mixing valve is serviced to correct the
problem. Failure to heed this warning could
result in a scalding injury to the individual.

7. End of Bath Cycle: Drain Tub
At the end of the bath cycle, while leaving the BathAire(SM) on
(it will reduce chilling and begin drying the tub), open the drain
by rotating the Drain Handle to open position. Allow the tub to
drain completely before opening the door.
Sensors in the drain will prevent the Open Door button from
functioning while there is water in the tub. (Check for other
objects obstructing the sensors, like wet wash cloth, patient
foot, etc.)
CAUTION: If an emergency arises, press and hold the
emergency button and the door open button at the same
time. (please refer to the Foot End Control section)
8. Open the door by pushing down on the Door Open Button.
Right after the initial door's rotating movement, stop opening
for three (3) seconds, allowing residual water to dissipate
down the drain. Continue to open the door and allow the door
to rotate to a fully open position until it stops on its own.
9. Press the On/Off button to turn off the BathAire(SM) system.
10. Dry as much of the individual as you can before removing
them from the tub by leaning the individual forward and towel
dry their back side and inside of the tub area behind the
individual. Lift each leg and towel dry the underside of the
legs/top of the seat, under legs and feet/foot well area under
feet. It is suggested that a bath mat or towel be placed on the
floor area under the seat area prior to this procedure. Remove
the chest belt from the individual. Transfer the individual out
of the Entree Bath seat using appropriate ergonomic transfer
techniques or with a modern lift/transfer device per facility
protocol. (see Adjusting Entree Tub for Lift/Transfer Device
section.)
After the individual is standing,
towel dry their posterior area
as needed. After appropriate
procedures are used to dress
or cover the individual,
complete the transfer of the
individual into the wheelchair if
required, back to the bedroom,
etc.
Note: If lift devices such as sit-
to-stand lifts or sling lifts are
used, follow recommended
manufacturer procedures.
The Grab Bar is NOT designed to support an individual’s body weight. The grab bar is
only intended to assist in transfer. Never let a bather stand in the foot well!

Cleaning Procedures:
Turn on BathAire(SM).Push down on the Door Close button until
the door is fully closed and stops on its own. Make sure the
drain is open and use the shower wand to rinse all inside
surfaces and the seal area of the tub to remove residual organic
materials left over from the previous bath. Close the drain. Turn
on the water and fill the footwell with approximately one (1)
gallon of water. Using MasterCare's specially formulated
Disinfectant cleaner, dispense 2 oz (approximately 16 pumps)
into the foot well water. Using the special Long Handled Tub
Brush, scrub away any remaining organic materials sticking to
the inside tub surfaces, comfort pads and belt. Scrub the seal
area with the Seal Brush also included in the tub kit. Leave
disinfectant on surface for a minimum of 10 minutes per
manufactures requirements. Open the drain. Rinse all the inside
surfaces and seal area with clean water from the shower wand
at full pressure. Turn off BathAire(SM).Open the door all the
way. Allow all cleaned surfaces to dry naturally with the drain
open. The clean comfort pads can be placed in to the bottom of
the foot well to dry.
A) Never leave individual unattended during the entire
bathing procedure. B) All individuals must be assessed
before using the system, to determine if they will require
the assistance of two staff members to transfer into and
out of the bath or if one staff member is suitable for this procedure.
Individuals identified as needing the assistance of two staff members
must always be transferred with two staff members.
BathAire(SM) Purge Cycle:
BathAire(SM) will automatically turn on after the bath has been
idle for twenty (20) minutes and run for one (1) minute. This
will help the area around the aerators to dry.
Other Considerations:
CAUTION: When not being used, all Disinfectant Cleaner,
Bath Oil and Shampoo solutions used during the bathing
procedures must be stored in a secure area not accessible by
the patients.
It is recommended that a two person bathing team be
established for each shift with trained backups. Using the
team approach, with one member transferring the individuals
to and from the bathing area and the other operating the
bathing system, increases the efficiency of the bathing
operations.
It is recommended that the operations wall chart be posted
on the wall next to the control end of the tub for quick
reference by the operator of the Entree Bath system (One is
provided in the tub starter kit).

GFCI RESET PROCEDURES
All MasterCare bathing systems are equipped with onboard GFCI’s making them easy to access for your convenience. In
the event a power surge trips the GFCI, it can be accessed and reset using the following procedures:
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) detects and interrupts electric faults to insure safety to all individuals.
Reset Button: trips and shuts down all power should a power surge, outage, faulty outlet, lightening etc have any affect
on the tub power system. It will then be pushed to restore power after a qualified individual deems it safe.
Test Button: insures the CGFI is working properly by allowing clear access for testing.
Self Testing GFCI will trip when unit is plugged in, must be reset.

AROMATHERAPY, COMFORT PAD AND BELTING PROCEDURES
Aromatherapy:
Before activating the BathAire(SM), remove the Aromatherapy Access Cap and insert a scented sachet or canister into the
receptacle. See Page 24.“DO NOT OPEN THE SACHET OR CANISTER”, DO NOT place loose beads or liquids in the sachet
holder. Securely close the cap prior to turning on BathAire(SM).
CAUTION: Running the BathAire(SM) without the Aromatherapy Access Cap securely in place will cause the system to lose
too much air and the aerators (hydromassage action) will not function properly. If the sachet will not easily fit into the
receptacle, slowly slide the zip tie up the sachet, making the sachet more elongated. DO NOT REMOVE THE ZIP TIE.
Comfort Pads:
•To Attach Pads: Make sure the suction cups are clean. Wetting the suction cups before attachment will make them
adhere better.
•Arrange the comfort pads as shown above with two pads parallel on the seat and one against the seat back in the
lumbar area. Press down firmly until all the air is out of all the suction cups. Other placement options may be desired
for positioning and comfort.
•To Remove Pads: Reach under the pad and grasp with both hands with fingers under the pad as far as they go.
•Pull gently up on one side until all the cups release. CAUTION: Do not pull up on pad by grasping it on the outside
and trying to pull up on all suction cups at the same time with a quick jerking or yanking motion. This may damage
the pad causing the foam pad to separate from suction cup base.
Security Belt & Pad:
•For those individuals that need additional security as assessed and approved by the managing nursing staff, thread
the security belt through the belt slots on the belt pad until it is at the midpoint. Thread the belt under each of the
bather's arms with the belt pad centered on their chest. Connect the belts to the security belt knob by looping one of
the holes of each end of the belt over the knob so belt pad is snug against the bather’s chest.
Pad Maintenance Tip:
a. Per manufacturer recommendations it is NOT advised to use conditioners on the pads and straps. Disinfect the pads
and straps with MasterCare Disinfectant according to the label and thoroughly rinse with water. Rotating the pads on
a daily basis will help prolong the life of the pads.
b. CAUTION: DO NOT use bleach to clean and/or disinfect the pads and straps. Also, some shampoos, bath
oils/additives and Betadines have substances in them that can stain some surfaces. Use only MasterCare
cleaner/disinfectant (Item: 90101), Master Care Bath Oil & Skin Conditioner (Item: 90201) and Shampoo & Body
Wash (Item: 90301)
