CAUTION: DO NOT store in temperatures below 0°F (-18°C) or above 95°F (35°C).
CAUTION: DO NOT expose to moisture or areas of humidity greater than 95%.
CAUTION: Ensure that strap placement does not interfere with the operation of the bed
functions.
CAUTION: Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and
needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in
this manual. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect Medical
Electrical Equipment. The use of Accessories, transducers, and cables other than those
specified by the manufacturer, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity
of the equipment or system.

Device Information
Description of the Device
The two principle components of the SAPPHIRE SERIES® Static Low-Air-Loss Mattress
Replacement System are a specialized air inflatable bladder (air mattress) and an electrically
powered Blower / Control Unit.
Purpose of the Device
The purpose of the Sapphire Series® Static Low-Air-Loss Mattress Replacement System is to
provide therapeutic benefit to patients at risk or suffering from pressure ulcers.
The active component that has contact with the patient is a specialized, multi-cell air mattress
sized to fit a standard medical bed frame. The air mattress serves as a replacement mattress and
is equipped with 4 air hoses with connectors that mate with the Blower / Control Unit. The
Control Unit is a self-contained, totally enclosed module that hangs by hinged hooks on the bed
frame at the foot of the bed or sits on the floor under the bed.
The Sapphire Series® Static Low-Air-Loss Mattress Replacement System has a detachable
hospital grade electrical cord and a control panel with selector switches and indicator lights. The
switches and indicators are protected under a flexible membrane to keep out liquid spills and
enhance clean-up and sanitation. Inside the Control/Blower Unit is a variable output blower, a
valve motor and air valves that allow the air mattress to operate in static mode. There is also a
printed circuit board, which provides the electrical controls.
Indications for Use
The Sapphire Series® Static Low-Air-Loss Mattress Replacement System is a 3-zoned Clinically
Effective Low Air Loss therapy mattress with optimal pressure redistribution therapeutic
mattress that provides either active or reactive pressure redistribution. When mobility, moisture
and/or inactivity are healthcare concerns, it is indicated for the prevention and treatment of
pressure ulcers and other skin related injuries.
