The ProCair Trio is an alternating mattress
replacement system for the prevention and
treatment of skin breakdown and pressure injuries
in patients of high to very high risk. It is designed
to replace your existing bed mattress on either a
standard or profiling electric bed frame.
The system is constructed from transverse air cells
that cyclically inflate and deflate in an alternating
pattern, providing gentle and dynamic support.
Cyclic alternation of pressure prevents arterial and
venous capillary occlusion in the patient’s surface
tissue – maintaining and stimulating the flow of
blood and lymphatic fluids through these tissues
to provide essential oxygen and remove metabolic
waste.
The system consists of the following components:
Mattress replacement with umbilical air
hoses and CPR release
Controlunit
Power cord
User Guide
Wheeled bag
It is recommended that all packing materials and
User Guides be kept in the carry bag provided, for
ease of storage and/or transport.

Safety Precautions
General Safety Precautions
Read all instructions before using this
medical device
This system must be used on top of an
appropriate sized bed frame and the
appropriate operating environment as stated
in this User Guide.
Before commencing set up or installation,
ensure the power is switched off and
disconnect the power cord from the control
unit. Novis Healthcare recommends using
the cord retention loops on either side of the
mattress replacement where possible and
attaching it to an electrical outlet by the head
of the bed.
Minimise layers between patient and
mattress and secure bed sheets loosely
so as not to affect the alternating cell
movement. As part of a sensible pressure
injury prevention strategy, avoid wearing
clothing that may cause areas of localised
damage due to creases, seams, objects in
pockets, etc.
Never use sharp objects or electrically heated
blankets on or under the system.
Product top cover may present a suffocation
risk. It is the responsibility of the caregiver to
ensure that the patient can use this product
safely.
Avoid blocking the air intakes of the control
unit, located at the rear of the unit. Do not place
items such as blankets over the control unit.
Bed frames used with the systems can vary
greatly depending on the specific healthcare
setting (ie hospitals, aged care, home care,
etc). It is the responsibility of the caregiver to
take the necessary precautions to ensure the
safety of the patient. This includes, but is not
limited to, the appropriate use of side rails to
prevent falls.
Only the control unit and mattress combination
as indicated by Novis Healthcare should be
used, otherwise the correct function of the
product cannot be guaranteed.
User Capacity
The maximum recommended patient weight
for this system is 250 kilograms.
The minimum recommended patient weight
for this system is 40 kilograms.
Do not exceed this safe working load or you
risk injury to the patient or carer and damage to
the product.
The purpose of the following safety precautions are to direct attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols
and their explanations require careful attention and understanding.
The safety warnings by themselves do not eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not
substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.
For your own safety and the safety of equipment, always take the following precautions.

System Preparation
Carefully unpack the system and inspect each item for any damage that may have occurred during transit and
handling. Any damage or missing components should be reported to Novis Healthcare as soon as possible.
Confirm there are no sharp objects in the
immediate area which may risk damage to the
mattress replacement.
1Remove your existing mattress and place
the mattress replacement on top of your
bed – printed top cover facing upwards and
umbilical cord towards the base of the bed.
2Attach to the bed by securing the adjustable
straps, located on the underside of the
mattress base under each bed end. On a
profiling bed, secure the straps around the
moveable sections of the base. Ensure the
buckles are securely fastened and straps are
pulledtight.
Do not secure mattress straps to bed side rails
– straps will tear.
Ensure that straps do not interfere with the
operation of the bed, and that the mattress is
properly secured. Failure to do so could result
in patient injury or equipment damage.

Swab the mattress base and cells with a solution
of sodium hypochlorite or similar (up to 10,000
ppm available chlorine). Dry thoroughly before
reassembly.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry the air cells or
mattress base.
If cleaning or disinfection is required, do not
allow fluid to enter air cells and air hoses.
Control Unit Cleaning
Disconnect control unit from mains power before
cleaning. Gently wipe down the external case with
a soft cloth.
Soak the cloth in warm water containing mild pH
neutral detergent, and wring any excess water
before gently wiping all external controls. Repeat
the process with a dry cloth to remove excess
moisture. A soft bristled nylon brush can be used to
gently clean crevices.
Ensure the control unit is disconnected from
mains power before cleaning.
Do not spray disinfectant directly on to the
control unit, or immerse the unit in water or
other fluid.
Disinfection
The mattress, top cover and control unit may
be decontaminated by a solution of sodium
hypochlorite or similar (up to 10,000 ppm available
chlorine). Dry thoroughly before use.
For infection control, swab with a solution of
sodium hypochlorite or similar (up to 10,000
ppm available chlorine). Dry thoroughly before
reattaching and use.
Care and Cleaning
To prevent cross contamination, the mattress should be examined and disinfected between patient use.
Clean the mattress in accordance with local infection control policy and government regulations. Failure
to do so could cause patient or personal injury.
The mattress is not protected against excessive amounts of fluid. Do not immerse the control unit in fluid.
Switch off and disconnect the control unit from mains power supply before cleaning. Failure to do so
could result in equipment damage or electric shock.
Do not use high temperature autoclave steam cleaning devices or phenolic based products for cleaning.
This could result in damage to the equipment and may result in damage to the polyurethane coating, or
negate the biocompatibility properties of the fabric.

first reattach the zipper running in the opposite
direction to the CPR.
Second reattach the zipper running towards the
CPR. Then close both zippers by zipping towards
the foot end of the mattress.
Air Cell Disconnection
1Switch off power supply to the control unit and
disconnect the air hoses and power cord.
2Place the control unit face down on a soft, flat
