Contraindications
English
Air support therapy is not recommended when spinal stability is
a concern.
Indications for Use
This device is intended to help treat and prevent decubitus
ulcers (bedsores) and provide air support therapy.
Models SC402, SC440, SC460 and SC427 are for single
patient use only. Do not reuse. Risk of cross-contamination (e.g.
infection, allergic reaction) if product were to be reused.
Model SC840 is reusable.
A. Preparing the bed
1. Standing at the foot end of the bed, unroll the cushion so
that the air valve will be on the right side.
2. Place the corner straps around the bed mattress.
3. The bed cushion may be inflated with or without a patient
on it. Place a sheet and incontinence pad (if required) over
the cushion.
4. Unscrew the blue cap from the air valve.
B. Inflating Sof•Care cushion with a HCP700 series manual
inflator
1. Unscrew the standard cap and screw the inflator on to the
air valve.
2. Manually inflate the cushion using the number of strokes
indicated on the inflator (approximately 50 strokes for
Sof•Care).
3. Unscrew the inflator and replace standard cap tightly.
4. Place sheet over cushion. Position patient on cushion.
NOTE: Overinflation may damage the bed cushion.
C. Maintaining patient comfort and protection
The Sof•Care Bed Cushion normally has an underinflated
appearance. It may seem to need more air when it really doesn't.
The best way to determine if the cushion is properly inflated is by
performing a HAND CHECK.
To perform the HAND CHECK:
Place hand under the Bed Cushion, beneath the patient's
buttocks. Hand must be positioned with palm up and fingers flat.
(If fingers are flexed, the HAND CHECK will be misleading.) If
patient does not touch hand, the Bed Cushion does not require
reinflation. If patient does touch hand, reinflate using an Inflator
or a manual pump and adapter (shown in step "D") until patient's
buttocks no longer touch hand.
CAUTION
Perform the HAND CHECK every 8 hours and after each inflation.
Check skin frequently. Consult physician if any redness or skin
break occurs. Serious injury could result if left untreated.

D. Deflating Sof•Care Cushion
1. Unscrew the blue cap.
2. For slow or partial deflation, insert pen point or other device
into one of the four holes in the valve disc. Air will escape
slowly.
3. For fast or complete deflation, pull tab to remove disc from
air valve.
WARNING
Deflate before CPR or CPR will be ineffective.
Caring for Sof•Care Cushions
Sof•Care cushions are easy to maintain. Perform the following
care and cleaning to assure proper performance and reliability.
1. Deflate the Sof•Care cushion prior to cleaning. Clean
cushion with a mild disinfectant or soap and water. Wipe
dry. Do not use solvents or alcohol.
2. Note: Blood and other body fluids must be thoroughly
cleaned from all surfaces before apply disinfectant.
Apply a disinfectant such as a 10% chlorinated bleach solution
(chlorinated bleach with 5.25% sodium hydrochlorite) to the
external surfaces of the overlay. Allow to completely dry. The
solution contact time is what makes disinfection effective. Wipe
down the overlay with a clean, dry cloth to remove excess
disinfectant.
