Adjusting the Overlay

Warnings:
- DO NOT use a product that is underinflated or overinflated, because 1) the product benefits will be reduced or eliminated, resulting in an increased risk to skin
and other soft tissue, and 2) the individual may become unstable and vulnerable to falling. Carefully follow the instructions for inflation and adjustment. If the
product does not appear to be holding air, or if you are not able to inflate or deflate the product, see "Troubleshooting". Immediately contact your equipment
provider, distributor, or Customer Support if the problem persists.
- All sections of the product MUST be inflated and adjusted to ensure proper immersion and to provide skin/soft tissue protection to the individual, including their
areas of risk (for example, head, shoulder blades, tailbone, hip bones, heels).
- After setting up the product the first time, perform a Hand Check frequently, at least once a day.
- A Hand Check MUST be performed EVERY TIME the individual transfers onto the product. If the individual transfers off and then back onto the product, a
Hand Check MUST be performed to ensure the product is correctly adjusted and will continue to provide protection.

Transfer

Warning: Before the individual transfers onto the overlay: 1) Risk of falling: Make sure the straps are securely snapped to the overlay. 2) Make sure that all
sections of the overlay are aligned and snapped together. If the sections are not snapped together, the individual could be exposed to areas that do not provide
sufficient skin/soft tissue protection.
1 Before the individual transfers onto the overlay, confirm the following:
- The overlay and the bed mattress are in a flat position.
- All sections are inflated, aligned and snapped together. The provided straps are securely snapped to the overlay and installed on the bed mattress; or, if
using the Overlay Enclosure Cover, the straps are securely attached to the bed mattress. See "Placing and Securing the Overlay".
- Any needed coverings are in place on the overlay. See the "Cover Guide".
2 The individual should transfer onto the overlay. The individual should be in their usual position (lying on their back, their side, or other usual position).

Hand Check

3 Perform a Hand Check to ensure that all sections, have the correct
amount of air.
Hand Check Method:
a. Position your hand between the overlay and the individual and
feel for the lowest bony prominence.
b. Keeping your hand in place, open the inflation valve, and
remove air until you can barely move your fingertips.
c. Close the inflation valve.
Note: The recommended distance from the base is 1 in. - 1½ in.
(2.5 cm to 4 cm).
REPEAT THE HAND CHECK FOR ALL SECTIONS.
4 If you are using the Overlay Enclosure Cover, zip the cover closed.
IMPORTANT! If the individual transfers off the overlay and then back onto the overlay, perform all of the steps above in "Transfer" and "Hand Check" to
ensure that the overlay will continue to perform as intended.

Pillow Positioning

Warnings:
- DO NOT place a pillow between the individual and the overlay. Doing so will reduce the effectiveness of the overlay.
- To ensure proper immersion and to provide skin/soft tissue protection to the individual, ALWAYS repeat the Hand Check Method after any pillow placement.
Instructions: Pillow positioning may be prescribed by a clinician. If a pillow is used for positioning, the pillow MUST be placed under the mattress overlay, not
between the individual and the overlay.
