Introduction

EN
It is recommended that all sections of this owner's guide be read prior to product use.
Carefully review the Indications, Risks and Precautions and Safety Information prior
to placing a patient on any AtmosAir™ 300 and 300P Seat Cushion with Self Adjusting
Technology™ (SAT™).
Caregivers should discuss Safety Information, Risks and Precautions and
Contraindications with the patient (or the patient's legal guardians) and the
patient's family.
The AtmosAir Seat Cushion is a unique, dynamic pressure displacement system utilizing
atmospheric pressure and gravity as the energy source. Contained within each cushion
are three, patented SAT cells. These cells deliver dynamic pressure management through
a system of manifolds and preset pressure relief valves. The cushion automatically
reconfigures itself for elevation / temperature changes and patient movement.
The 300P Model includes an integrated positioning option, which uses a hand-controlled
air pump to adjust the cushion to compensate for pelvic obliquities.

Indications

Model 300
For prevention and / or treatment of skin breakdown.
Model 300P
For prevention and / or treatment of skin breakdown and for improved positioning
with patients exhibiting pelvic obliquities.

Risks and Precautions

Transfer - Standard precautions should be taken during patient transfer.
Patient Migration - Specialty surfaces have different shear and support characteristics
than conventional surfaces and may increase the risk of patient movement, sinking
and / or migration into hazardous positions of entrapment and / or inadvertent exit.
Monitor patients frequently to guard against patient entrapment.
