Description - Gaymar Plexus Auto Aire Select Manuel D'emploi

•
Some medical conditions may not respond to therapy of this type. Patient's skin
condition should be inspected regularly. Consult physician if any redness or skin
breakdown occurs.
•
Make certain all mattress straps are secured to the bed frame to prevent mattress
from sliding and causing patient injury.
•
Plexus mattresses are not intended to be AND DO NOT FUNCTION AS a patient
fall safety device. SIDE RAILS MUST BE USED WITH THE PLEXUS MATTRESS
TO PREVENT FALLS, unless determined unnecessary based on the facility protocol
or the patient's medical needs as determined by the facility, IN THESE CASES, THE
USE OF OTHER SUITABLE PATIENT SAFETY MEASURES ARE
RECOMMENDED.
•
Use single layer of sheeting and incontinence pads. More than one layers of
sheeting and incontinence pads between the patient's skin and the support surface
will reduce the effectiveness of the system.
•
Do not secure linens tightly over mattress. Maintain loose fit of linens over mattress.
Tight sheets can cause "hammocking" and reduce effectiveness of treatment.
•
Do not block the pump intake on the enclosure. Any obstruction to airflow,
particularly a dirty filter, will cause excessive hat and greatly shorten the life of the
blower. Keep unit away from radiators or other heat sources.
•
Do not use in the presence of smoking materials or open flame. Air flowing through
the air mattress will support combustion.
•
Portable and RF communication equipment can affect medical electrical equipment.

7.0 Description

The Auto Aire Select System is a portable, low-air-loss system with on-demand alternating low pressure
therapy, designed to provide therapeutic benefit to patients suffering from, or at risk of pressure ulcers. The
system, consisting of a Control Unit and an Air Flotation Mattress with therapeutic top sheet, is designed to
provide pressure management therapy and patient comfort.
The Control Unit inflates and maintains the Mattress to user-selected settings, and can also provide on
demand alternating low pressure therapy if desired. Used with the Auto Aire Select or Aire Select Safety
Mattress with the Sensor Cell Option with their Active Sensor Technology, the system automatically adjusts
the Mattress to the optimal fill level insuring complete flotation therapy.
The Aire Select base consists of twenty transverse air cells constructed of low shear nylon. Each of the
individual cells is a minimum of eight inches tall (inflated height) and spatially oriented above a two inch
convoluted foam base. The system provides continuous low-air-loss therapy through a series of calibrated
orifices within the Mattress to assist in the prevention of skin maceration.
The Aire Select Safety Mattress features two side bolster options to allow the patient to safely immerse into
the mattress; a straight bolster version which rises three inches above the surface of the mattress
