tion. All the components such as manifold, hose assembly, air cushions, top sheet, side bol-
sters, rotation bladders, foam or air pad cover, and mattress base are interchangeable, and
can be easily cleaned or detached for laundry.

breakdowns in the covers liquid barrior. Because of the potential risk of infection exposure,
the mattress should be removed from the bed frame or examined on all surfaces for soil or
point of potential contaminants.

3. Using damp cloth wipe down the air cushions and the mattress base. Once the air cush-
ions and the base are clean, wipe them down with a clean dry cloth.
