INFLATING COMFORT GLIDE AIR SHEET
a. Patient should be in a supine position with the bed at a 0 degree
incline
b. Place Comfort Glide Air Sheet underneath the patient.
c. Place the Comfort Glide Air Blower directly on flat ground or use the
carabiner to hang the unit on the bed frame.
d. Plug the power cord into the nearest standard wall outlet
e. Connect the air hose to one side of the Comfort Glide Air Sheet air
intake opening and securely fasten into place. Choose the air input
on the side that will permit free movement of the hose.
CAUTION: It is important to routinely inspect power cable to ensure it is
not obstructed or causing a tripping hazard. Check the power cable is not
under strain or damaged.
f. If using for lateral transfer, ensure that transfer surfaces are
touching and lock all wheels.
g. Turn on the green power switch and the air blower will inflate the
Comfort Glide Air sheet. When the Comfort Glide Air sheet is fully
inflated, the sheet is ready to use and the patient can be
repositioned.
h. Ensure patient is centered on the surface prior to deflation.
i. Turn off Air Blower and raise the bed or stretcher rails.
CAUTION: Never leave the patient unattended with the Air Blower on.

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
No daily maintenance is required. It is intended this equipment should
only be serviced by qualified and authorized technical personnel. Please
contact your Medline representative if the below troubleshooting
solutions do not work.
WARNING: Disassembly or attempts to make repairs may void
Manufacturer’s Warranty. Please consult the Statement of Warranty in
this Manual for more information.
If the problem is not resolved, please contact your Medline representative.
Fault/Problem
Description
Possible Root Cause Solution
The Air Blower does
not turn on.
The Air Blower is not receiving
power.
Check power cord plug is securely
connected and fits snugly into the
outlet. Secure plug connection and
turn on Air Blower power switch.
Blown fuses in pump and plug. Check for blown fuses in pump and
plug. Replace fuse if blown.
Power outlet is faulty. Try another power outlet.
Defective Air Blower Unit. Replace with new device.
Contact your Medline
representative.
The Comfort Glide
Repositioning Sheet
cannot be inflated.
Hose not properly connected. Verify that the hose is properly con-
nected to the Air Blower. The hose
has 2 prongs that snap into place to
connect it to the Air Blower unit.
Air Flow is not sufficient. 1. Check hose connection points
and re-connect if needed.
2. Check hose for tears or kinking.
3. Check for punctures or rips in
the Comfort Glide Air Sheet.
4. Check the air filter for re-
strictions. Clean/replace as
necessary.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
Electric devices may interact due to electro-magnetic radiation. We
recommend a safety distance of at least 1 meter, especially for sensitive
equipment. Upon request, we can provide a table with more detailed
electromagnetic information.
Recommended separation distances between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the Comfort Glide Air Blower
The Comfort Glide Air Blower is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which
radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Comfort Glide Air Blower
can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable
and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Comfort Glide Air Blower as rec-
ommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

10 3,8 3,8 7,3
100 12 12 23
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation
distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the
transmitter, where p is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according
to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
