Section 8 - Maintenance of Baby Pod 20
Follow cleaning instructions in Section 7 for general care of Baby Pod 20. Special care is needed for both the
carbon fiber Outer Shell and the Vacuum Mattress as noted below:
•
Outer Shell
Baby Pod 20 should be inspected at regular intervals for signs of damage to its carbon fiber Outer Shell (see
Section 5.2 for step-by-step instructions). For best results, remove Infant Positioning Straps, Vacuum Mattress and
Shock Absorbent Foam and carefully inspect the inner surface of the carbon fiber shell for signs of stress, including
cracks, pockmarks or irregularities.
Discontinue use of Baby Pod 20 if signs of damage are present.
Baby Pod 20’s Outer surface does not affect the integrity of the carbon fiber shell. Chips or scraches to Baby Pod
20’s finished outser surface due to normal wear and tear do not affect the performance of the unit. Even with
normal use, Baby Pod 20 may eventually need to be refurbished. Contact our Customer Service Department for
further information on refurbishment of Baby Pod 20.
Inspect Baby Pod 20’s Outer Shell for cracks and abrasions. First, inspect the inner carbon fiber surface of Baby Pod
20’s Outer Shell.
Note:
Smoothness is not a requirement. Natural irregularities in texture due to the manufacturing process are
normal.
Note: Cracks in the carbon fiber Outer Shell may not be apparent by visual inspection of the outer surface. Always
check the inside surface of the Outer Shell for accurate visual assessment.
DO NOT use any component that does not pass visual inspection.
Inspect the integrity of the carbon fiber rods inside Baby Pod 20’s Outer Shell. Check the security of the attached
Infant Positioning Straps before re-inserting the Shock Absorbent Foam interior panels. Infant positioning straps
should be connected at an angle so that straps secure in a cross-wise “X” fashion over the baby’s torso.
Protect Baby Pod 20 from the impact of sharp or hard objects that may cause internal damage that is not visible on
the surface of the unit.
