Cleaning / Decontamination
Frequency of routine couch cleaning will depend on exact
application, local policy and contamination status
.
To Clean
Clean all exposed surfaces and remove any organic debris by
wiping with a cloth moistened with a simple (neutral) detergent and
water.
Chemical Disinfection
ArjoHuntleigh recommend a chlorine-releasing agent, such as
sodium hypochlorite, at a strength of 1,000ppm available chlorine
(this may vary from 250ppm to 10,000ppm depending on local
policy and contamination status).
Use low strength solution for upholstery.
Wipe all cleaned surfaces with the solution, then wipe with a cloth
moistened with water and dry thoroughly. Alcohol based
disinfectants (strength 70%) may be used as an alternative.
Ensure the product is dry before storage.
If an alternative disinfectant is selected from the wide variety
available we recommend that suitability for use is confirmed with
the chemical supplier prior to use.
WARNING
Do not use Alkalis or other organic solvents for routine cleaning.
Replace torn or damaged vinyl immediately.
Always cover vinyl with fresh paper or sheet between patients.
If contamination is known or suspected always decontaminate couch
before use.
Do not saturate hinge pin location and it is essential to ensure that they
are dry before re-use.
Disconnect any mains supply.
Do not allow the mains plug or power supply cord to get wet.
Caution
Do not use Phenol-based solutions or abrasive compounds or pads
during the decontamination process as these will damage the surface
coating. Avoid immersing electrical parts in water during the cleaning
process.
