Disinfecting After cleaning the bed as described above, wipe all
surfaces with sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) at a
concentration of 1,000 parts per million (0.1%) of
available chlorine.
In the case of pooling body fluids, e.g. blood, the
concentration of NaDCC should be increased to 10,000
parts per million (1%) of available chlorine.
Use of other
disinfectants
ArjoHuntleigh recommends sodium dichloroisocyanurate
(NaDCC) as a disinfectant because it is effective, stable
and has a fairly neutral pH. Many other disinfectants are
used in healthcare facilities, and it is not possible for
ArjoHuntleigh to test each one to determine whether it
may affect the appearance or performance of the bed.
If facility protocols require the use of a disinfectant other
than NaDCC (e.g. diluted bleach or hydrogen peroxide),
it should be used with care and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Caution
Do not use abrasive compounds or pads, or phenol-based
disinfectants.
Do not use jet stream cleaning or wash tunnels.
Do not remove grease from the actuator pistons.
