CLEANING WARMING BLANKETS AND MATTRESSES
Intro:
HotDog Warming Blankets and Mattresses are non-sterile electric warming devices for use in the operating room
and in pre- and post-operative areas in healthcare facilities. Clean and disinfect Mattresses and Blankets between
patient uses if they appear visibly soiled. If Mattresses and Blankets are not visibly soiled, disinfection at the end of
the operating day is recommended.
Cautions:
Do not immerse Blankets or Mattresses in water. Do not use high-level disinfectants to clean Blankets or
Mattresses. The CDC (USA) recommends against the use of high level disinfectants for cleaning environmental
surfaces that may contact the patient since the chemicals are highly toxic. Do not spray cleaning solutions into the
electrical connector.
Do not use peroxide-based cleaning solutions as these can adversely affect the internal heater. Do not place the
Warming Devices in an autoclave, sterilizer, automatic washer - disinfector, or any other high-temperature system
as this may damage the Devices.
Cleaning Steps
Blankets and Mattresses should be cleaned following protocols for non-critical medical devices that may contact
intact skin. Examples of similar devices are blood pressure cuffs, exam table covers, operating room table pads and
