AirTAP LC

INDICATIONS FOR USE Indicated for use for lifting and transferring adult patients that are unable to bear weight or have limited mobility. The device can be used for adult patients who are dependent or partially-dependent and unable to participate in their own turning, positioning, or lateral transfer.

CONTRAINDICATIONS The AirTAP LC System should not be used for patients with thoracic, cervical, or lumbar fractures without a clinical assessment of the risks of using the device. This device should not be used on patients with an altered mental status. The equipment should not be used for patients that exceed the 600 lb / 272 kg weight limit.

WARNINGS • Do not use on patients with thoracic, cervical, or lumbar fractures that are deemed unstable unless stabilization is used or a clinical assessment of the risks has been performed. • Do not use Air Pump / Booster Pump while connected to a lift.• Never leave a patient unattended while the Glide Sheet is inflated or the Air Pump / Booster Pump is powered on. • To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces. • Always ensure the patient is centered on the Glide Sheet before inflating. • Always ensure the bed rails are raised and the bed brakes are locked. • Always use more than one trained healthcare provider to laterally transfer, vertical lift transfer, or reposition a patient to avoid the risk of healthcare provider injury. Note: 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. • Ensure the Glide Sheet is fully inflated prior to transfer. If the Glide Sheet is not fully inflated, injury to the patient or caregiver could occur or the Glide Sheet may not perform as expected. • Always follow your facility’s safe patient handling and mobility policies and procedures.• To avoid potential skin injury, prevent patient’s heels and head from dragging across the bed during repositioning. Refer to your facility’s skin injury and prevention protocol and the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP) Guidelines.• To prevent injury or accidental inflation, ensure the patient is not in contact with the Quick Connect Hose Nozzle or Flexible Inflation Hose.• Do not use the product in an oxygen-rich environment, such as an oxygen tent. • Do not use the Air Pump / Booster Pump in the presence of flammable anesthetics or other flammable gases or vapors. • Do not tamper with or make any adjustments to any part of the Air Pump / Booster Pump.• Do not let the Air Pump / Booster Pump cord hang over the edge of a table or counter. • Do not operate the Air Pump / Booster Pump if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. Contact Stryker at 800 323 2220 for repair or replacement. • Do not immerse the Air Pump / Booster Pump cord or plug in water. • Keep Air Pump / Booster Pump cord away from heated surfaces. • Do not use the Air Pump / Booster Pump during patient transport within the care setting. • The Glide Sheet is not intended to secure a patient to a support surface. Follow facility policies and procedures for securing patients to a support surface (e.g. Trendelenburg). • Always ensure straps are untucked before transferring or turning a patient. • Always ensure the Sling Straps are not twisted and are properly attached to the lift(s). • Do not use the Glide Sheet with a hanger bar that is designed for a clip attachment. • Do not hold or support a patient’s weight while the Glide Sheet is attached to a lift since this may cause straps to detach from lift. • Never leave a patient unattended while the Glide Sheet is attached to a lift. • 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. • Ensure walkways are clear of straps to avoid tripping hazard. • Ensure straps are out of the patient’s reach to avoid entanglement and pressure related injury. • Do not lift in prone position.

CAUTIONS • Improper usage of the product can cause injury to the patient or healthcare provider. • Do not modify the product or any components of the product.
