ErgoAir®, Inc.
is a company that develops industrial and commercial protective products that use air
bladder technology. ErgoAir collaborates with other companies to manufacture and market
products that use its technology through licensing the technology that it has developed
and owns.

The
ErgoAir®
AntiVib® air bladder technology is protected by patent nos. 5,144,708; 5,372,487;
5,537,688; 5,771,490; and 5,987,705. Others are pending. The
AntiVib®
air bladder technology is an entirely new precision-engineered concept in hand-arm
vibration protection that uses a thin layer of air between the hand and a vibrating
handle, hand tool, or work piece. |

INSTRUCTIONS/SIZING/DISCLAIMER |
|
FOR PROTECTION
FROM VIBRATION, BUMPS, AND JOLTS, THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INFLATED. |
| To inflate your Air
Paw® gloves with the patented AntiVib® air bladder,
press robustly down on or squeeze the aspirator bulb on the back of the
glove. This may be done with the glove either on or off of the hand. To
properly inflate the glove, the aspirator bulb may have to be depressed
50-80 times. The glove cannot be over-inflated. Repeat this process for both
gloves. The air bladders in the gloves will lose a little air over time. To
ensure optimum inflation is maintained, depress the aspirator bulb a few
times each day prior to using the gloves, or as often as required. |
| To ensure your Air Paw®
gloves are fully inflated, remove the gloves from you hands. Place your four
fingers inside of one of the gloves under the air bladder in the lower palm
portion of the glove. Lightly squeeze the air bladder between your thumb and
four fingers. When the bladder is fully inflated, it will feel firm
(rigid) when lightly squeezed between your thumb and fingers. Repeat this
process for both gloves. |
| For reasons of
comfort, you may not want the air bladders in your gloves to be fully
inflated. You can control the inflation levels of the air bladders by
alternately depressing the aspirator bulb to inflate a bladder and then
depressing the release valve adjacent to the aspirator to release small
amounts of air until the desired inflation pressure is achieved. |
| If your Air Paw®
gloves are used for industrial applications, the air bladders in the gloves
must be fully inflated to meet the requirements of ISO/CEN 10819 and ANSI
S3.40 to be
classified as an antivibration glove. |
|
Proper glove size is important. Use the guidelines below
to determine your correct glove size. |
| When fully inflated,
this antivibration glove (in a full-finger configuration) meets the
requirements of ISO/CEN 10819 and ANSI S3.40 to be classified as an antivibration glove.
This glove has been designed to reduce tool vibration to the hand and arm.
Please check with your tool manufacturer or company safety official to
obtain information on acceptable levels of vibration exposure for tools that
you are using. This glove may extend the latency period before with
the onset of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) symptoms when you are exposed to high
vibration amplitudes over prolong periods of times. However, no claims are
made that this glove will prevent the eventual onset of HAVS when exposed to
high levels of hand-arm vibration over prolong periods time. |
