Patient Repositioning System
Caution / Warning
AirTAP System Glide Sheet is a Type B Applied Part
Class II Double Wire Insulated
Consult Instructions for Use
Not made with natural rubber latex
Weight capacity: 550 lbs. / 250 kg

1
USES:
• To assist and maintain proper patient positioning to offload the sacrum and control body heat and moisture.
• To assist with the repositioning of a patient.
INTENDED CARE SETTINGS:
Intended to be used in hospitals, healthcare facilities, and other environments where repositioning of partially–dependent or dependent
patients is desired. This equipment is intended to be used for purposes stated in this manual. Any other use is prohibited.
INDICATIONS:
Use for patients who are dependent or partially-dependent and unable to participate in their own repositioning.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Patients who have thoracic, cervical, or lumbar fractures should not use the Prevalon AirTAP System (the “System”) unless a clinical
decision has been made by your facility. The equipment should not be used for patients that exceed the 550 lbs / 250 kg weight limit.
PRIOR TO USE:
Perform a visual inspection of the System. Examine the AirTAP System Glide Sheet (the “Glide Sheet”), Prevalon Air Pump (the “Air Pump”),
and/or AirTAP System Booster Pump (the “Booster Pump”) for damage or wear that is potentially hazardous and could cause the System to
malfunction. If such damage is present, DO NOT USE. Examine the power cord for damage. If the power cord is damaged, DO NOT USE the Air
Pump / Booster Pump, as a damaged power cord may cause serious injury. Ensure all parts are present. If any parts are missing, DO NOT USE.
IMAGING:
The Glide Sheet with Microclimate Body Pad is MR safe by rationale. The device is made from all non-metal materials; therefore, MR safety
testing was not performed. Compatibility tests did not show artifacts. Based on rationale, the Glide Sheet with Microclimate Body Pad is
electronically non-conductive and non-magnetic.
The Air Pump / Booster Pump are not MR safe. Please follow your facilities protocol for using the Air Pump / Booster Pump in a MR environment.

POSITIONING AND BOOSTING THE PATIENT
i
WARNING: Make sure the bed rails are raised and the bed brakes are locked.
• Always use at least two caregivers when Positioning and Boosting. • To avoid potential
skin injury, ensure the patient’s head and feet are supported to prevent them from
dragging across the bed.
1. Caregiver A and Caregiver B stand on opposite sides of the bed. Lock the bed
brakes and raise the bed rails. Place the bed in a horizontal position and at the
caregiver’s waist level.
2. Remove the Body Wedges (the “Wedges”) if present by grasping the corner and
slowly rotating out.
3. Ensure the patient is centered on the Glide Sheet and the bed.
iWARNING: Before inflating, ensure lines and tubing are free to move with
the patient and that nothing obstructs the area over which the Glide Sheet will pass.
Ensure that the Hose will move freely with the Glide Sheet.
4. While closely observing the patient, push the point of care power button (the
“Power Button”) on the Hose.
5. Allow the Glide Sheet to fully inflate.
iWARNING: Never leave the patient unattended while the Air Pump /
Booster Pump is powered on or the Glide Sheet is inflated.
6. Ensure the patient’s head and feet are supported.
7. Use the black handles located on the edge of the Glide Sheet to gently glide the
patient to where the hips are aligned with the hinge point on the bed.
8. Turn the Air Pump / Booster Pump off by pressing the Power Button.
9. Allow the Glide Sheet to fully deflate and smooth out any wrinkles in the Glide
Sheet or Microclimate Body Pad.
5
SET UP THE GLIDE SHEET
1. With bed brakes locked and bed rails raised, place the bed in a horizontal position,
and at the caregiver’s waist level.
2. Lower the bed rail(s) on the side of the bed where the Glide Sheet will be placed.
Place the folded Glide Sheet alongside the patient with the printed arrow pointing
toward the head of the bed.
3. Unfold the Glide Sheet lengthwise and align the upper edge of the Glide Sheet with
the patient’s shoulder.
Place the Glide Sheet with Microclimate Body Pad beneath the patient per your
facility’s protocol.
NOTE: The edge of the Glide Sheet should overhang the side of the bed by
approximately 2 inches on a standard bed.
4. Ensure the patient is centered on the Glide Sheet and on the bed. Smooth out any
wrinkles on the Glide Sheet and Microclimate Body Pad.
5. Raise the bed rails.
CONNECT THE AIR PUMP/BOOSTER PUMP
1. Open the Cinch and Close Valve (the “Valve”) closest to the Air Pump / Booster
Pump by pulling the fastener tab up.
2. Remove the Nozzle of the flexible inflation hose (the “Hose”) from the Nozzle
Retainer on the Air Pump / Booster Pump.

7. Caregiver B use the Black Positioning Handles to secure the Glide Sheet.
8. Caregiver A grasp the Black Positioning Handle on the Glide Sheet and insert the
Anchor Wedge, tail first and with the black fabric facing up, so that the Anchor is
underneath the patient’s thighs.
9. Caregiver B pull the tail through until it is taut.
10. Caregiver A grasp the Black Positioning Handle on the Glide Sheet and insert the
Upper Wedge at least one hand width away from the Anchor Wedge.
11. The caregiver on the side of the bed where the Air Pump / Booster Pump is
connected pushes the Power Button to turn the Air Pump / Booster Pump off.
12. Perform a microturn while the Glide Sheet is deflating, if needed. With both caregivers
on the same side of the bed, grasp the Black Positioning Handles, palms down.

is offloaded.
14. Raise the bed rails.
iWARNING: DO NOT use the Glide Sheet to lift patients.
LATERAL TRANSFER
iWARNING: Always use at least two caregivers while performing the Lateral
Transfer. • Exterior bed rails on both surfaces should be raised prior to transfer to
prevent the patient from falling. If there are no bed rails used, the caregivers are
responsible for making sure the patient does not reach outside the boundaries of
either support surface. • To avoid potential skin injury, ensure the patient’s head and
feet are supported to prevent them from dragging across the support surface.
1. Lock the bed brakes and raise the bed rails. Place the sending support surface in a
horizontal position and at the caregiver’s waist level.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
Follow your facility’s infection control policies and procedures regarding the cleaning
of equipment and the use of disinfectants on cleaning facility surfaces in contact with
patients’ skin. DO NOT launder the Glide Sheet, Body Wedges, or Microclimate Body
Pad as laundering will compromise the functioning of these devices.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
The System is not meant to be used for more than one patient.
To clean the Glide Sheet and Body Wedges, wipe all surfaces with a damp clothing
using soap and water.
Unplug the Air Pump / Booster Pump prior to cleaning. The outside of the Air Pump
/ Booster Pump should be cleaned with a large damp cloth, as needed. To prevent
damage to the operating parts inside the Air Pump / Booster Pump, water should not
be allowed to seep into any of the ventilation openings. Use cloths that have been
dampened with mild detergent solution only, but not so wet to drip liquid or cause
liquid to pool on the Air Pump / Booster pump.
