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

of overflow or 1” below door seal, this allows for
resident movement and BathAire action.Add a
minimum of ¼ oz of MasterCare’s Bath Oil to the
water from the Dispensing bottle.
CAUTION:When the drain is in the closed position the Door switch cannot be activated. This
will prevent accidental opening of the door when the tub is full of water. DO NOT under any

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

button until the door is fully closed and stops on
its own. Make sure the drain is open, use the
shower spray 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. Fill to the bottom of the jet in the foot
well with one (1) gallon of water. Using
MasterCare's specially formulated Disinfectant
cleaner dispense 2 oz (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 and
seal area. Allow contact time as detailed on
disinfectant/cleaner. Open the drain. Rinse all the
inside surfaces and seal area clean with the
shower spray 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 in
to and out
of the bath or if t
hey are 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 allows the area
around the aerators to completely 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 individuals.
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 (In the tub starter kit).
Emergency Door Open:
In the event there is a power failure or a failure in
the door actuator system, the door can be
opened with the yellow handled 5/16” ball end
Allen wrench driver. See page 10.
First check to make sure the drain is all the way
open. If the drain is not all the way open, the
door will not open. Also check GFCI Reset button

Aromatherapy, Comfort Pad and Belting Procedures:
1. Aroma Therapy:
a. Before activating the BathAire remove the Aromatherapy Access Cap and insert the sachet with the
selected scent you want to use for the bath. “DO NOT OPEN THE SACHET”, DO NOT place loose
beads or liquids in the sachet holder. Securely close the cap prior to turning on BathAire.
CAUTION: Running the BathAire without the sachet 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 sachet holder, slowly slide the zip tie up the sachet making the sachet
more elongated. DO NOT REMOVE THE ZIP TIE.
2. Comfort Pads:
a. To Attach Pads: Make sure the suction cups are clean. Wetting the suction cups before attachment will
make them adhere better.
b. 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.
c. To Remove Pads: Reach under the pad and grasp with both hands with fingers under the pad as far as
they go.
d. 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.
3. Security Belt & Pad:
a. For those individual’s 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 bathers 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.
4. 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.
