 Remove bed linen and send it to the laundry service.
 Clean all surfaces, including the slatted bed frame and mattress base
made of synthetic or metal slats, with a mild and environmentally friendly
cleaning agent. This also applies for the handset.
 If the bed has been visibly contaminated with infectious or potentially in-
fectious materials, the bed should be subsequently disinfected by wiping
with one of the disinfection media approved by the DGHM (
Deutsche
Gesellschaft für Hygiene und Mikrobiologie , German Society for Hygiene
and Microbiology) which is suitable for the corresponding surfaces. The
same applies for all beds with patients who have notifiable diseases
according to § 6 of the
Infektionsschutzgesetz (IfSG, Protection against
Infection Act), bacterial infections, or infections with multiple-resistant
pathogens (e.g. MRSA, VRE), as well as all beds in intensive care stations
and infectious disease clinics. For all disinfections, the concentrations given
in the DGHM list must be observed.
 Disinfection of the castors is only necessary when they have been visibly
contaminated with infectious or potentially infectious materials.
Continuous disinfection is only necessary in hospitals when a patient
has a multiple-resistant pathogen (e.g. MRSA).
