INTRODUCTION
This Owner's Manual was designed to assist both caregivers and patients
when using the JAY Dermafloat Low Air Loss Therapy System. It can be
used as a continual information resource and we suggest that you keep it
handy to answer most of the questions that you may have regarding the set
up, cleaning and routine maintenance of the system.
GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Jay LAL 1000 Series is a portable low air loss mattress replacement
designed to economically provide therapeutic benefit to patients suffering
from, or at risk of, developing pressure ulcers. The system, consisting of a
Master Control Unit, an Air Flotation Mattress and a Therapeutic Comforter,
is designed to provide unsurpassed wound care therapy and patient comfort.
The controller is as simple to use, as it is compact. Plug it in and dial the
appropriate pressure level. Simple! With a side mounted Quick Disconnect
for CPR, the Jay LAL 1000 Series offers basic reliable "true low air loss"
therapy previously available in only more complicated and more expensive
systems.
The Standard Low Air Loss Mattress base consists of twenty transverse
air cushions. Each is over eight inches tall inflated height and spatially
oriented above a two inch convoluted foam base. The air cushion material is
a low shear nylon, which aids in reducing the chance of skin breakdown.
The air cushions are designed with orifices to provide continuous low air
loss therapy to aid in the prevention of skin maceration.
The Homecare Low Air Loss Mattress consists of five independent zones
connected by a single top membrane.
The membrane is perforated to
provide continuous low air loss therapy to aid in the prevention of skin
maceration.
